Liebdaga the Twin was a nessari and infernal duke of the Avernus layer of Hell. His moniker stems from his nature; unlike most outsiders, he has a soul that exists separately from his physical form, making him more like a mortal than a devil and capable of returning after being killed.

Liebdaga was an infernal duke and ruler of Gallow in Avernus. He was also known for his unique nature, and has used his unique ability to return from destruction several times to enact vengeance upon those who killed him.

He was captured by House Thrune and bound by infernal contract to imprisonment in an infernal engine within the Nessian Spiral, a dungeon beneath the Westcrown mayor's manor, by priests of Asmodeus and House Thrune wizards. The rushed, sloppy process of binding Liebdaga to the engine killed a third of the spellcasters performing the ritual but resulted in the most powerful known Thrune-related infernal engine.

Liebdaga's contract, the terms of which would bind him for 10,000 years, was witnessed and enforced by the kolyarut inevitable Signatory Vaccha, who remained in the Spiral to enforce the agreement.

Anvengen Doskivari, Westcrown's lord mayor at the time, was charged with maintaining the engine and keeping it secret. Doskivari used the engine to create the Asmodean Knot, an extraplanar vault, but was eventually consumed by it two decades after its creation while attempting to expand it.

His successor, Dargentu Vheed, taxed the populace to fund improvements to his home, then eventually disappeared inside the Nessian Spiral. Vheed's successor Aberian Arvanxi redirected revenunes to public works but neglected his tasks of maintaining the Spiral and engine over his two decades of rule.

The vaneo was destroyed in 4709 AR, nearly 70 years after Liebdaga's binding, by an explosion of five columns of hellfire caused by the pit fiend's anger at his imprisonment. Arvanxi went missing in the aftermath, having sneaked out of town soon after the explosion, which left the city without a lord-mayor.
