Ravvan is the god of beasts and savagery in Praemal, who may possibly be either Baphomet or Yeenoghu.

History

A millenia ago, Ravvan sent an idol of himself to Praemal, containing a gate to his realm. He largely used it to send corrupting energies that would make people more bestial in nature, but more recently sent through some of his gnoll followers, along with two of his Half-Fiend offspring. Currently they're being manipulated by a dark elf who's ready to betray them at any moment.

Baphomet or Yeenoghu?

So it's quite possible that the real identity of Ravvan is either of the Demon Princes, with there being evidence for both possibilities. The fact that his followers are gnolls points to Yeenoghu, whilst Baphomet has dominion over beasts and savagery. The description of his realm of savagery and beasts describes the realms of both demon princes, and most other layers of the abyss for that matter. The half-fiends do have cloven feet, so that could point to Baphomet, but cloven feet aren't uncommon amongst half-fiends. Or who knows, maybe it's some completely different god of beasts and savagery.
