Aravian (beat-up devil) is a Fistophilus — a contract devil and former high-level legal operative — who has been bound to the Material Plane for an unusually long period. He originally contracted with Belcorra to build her an army, making him a sufficiently powerful being that Belcorra must have gone to considerable effort to bring him to this plane [S48, S49]. Wrin noted that it is rare for a devil to remain contracted so long outside Hell, and that some ongoing reason must keep him bound even after Belcorra's death [S49]. Aravian leads the devils occupying the level below the laboratories. He and the flesh-warper boss Jafki negotiated an uneasy truce following the devil-Sgathi war, establishing a fragile equilibrium on that floor [S49]. The imp Sizek serves as his note-taker. His office lies behind a sigiled five-pointed-star door near a Hellfire Forge room. By S60, the party had learned he operates like a "big-shot lawyer type" who set the devil Sinemi after Carman Rajani with a large "captured alive" bounty tied to Rajani's Rose Guard and artifact connections, then imprisoned Sinemi when she failed. As of S62, further details emerged from his imp: Aravian has an arrangement with "old Belcorra," broke a deal back in Hell over something he never delivered, and is now too afraid to return — the undelivered obligation may be the real anchor keeping him plane-bound. He sealed himself behind a door that opens only with a five-piece amulet, and has magically blocked the route deeper into the dungeon. The party had targeted his chamber as their next confrontation as of S62. S64 sharpens the threat without resolving the name-noise: the party researches Uravian/Erevian as a dangerous contract devil with protected contracts, fire immunity, holy weakness, silver-relevant physical resistance, and high-level innate scrying. Carman does not recognize the name, so why Aravian wants the Rajani line alive remains unresolved.
