There are very few known facts about the
demon known as Sammael. It was revealed that he resided in an unknown region of
Hell and has been engaged in a struggle, which was represented on a chess like table, between the forces of
Heaven and Hell for over three decades. He served
Satan and his opponent
Armaziel served the
Angels of Heaven. Sammael restored their board after it had been tampered with by an unnamed minor demon. The demon's unwitting interference with the board triggered the creation of the hell-spawned warrior,
Soulfire. Sammael introduced new pieces to replace those that had been deemed unusable and the three decade old game continued.
