Editing Demon Prince (section)

===[[Sertrous]]===
Demon Prince of Heretics from the [[Elder Evils]] book. Was originally a demon prince of parasites who refused to serve the Queen of Chaos and as a result was personally killed by her, but his spirit escaped to material plane and possessed a snake and turned it into his new body. A Solar named Avamerin was sent to kill Sertrous when he began sending armies of snakes to harass mortals, but just before Avamerin could deal the killing blow to Sertrous, he revealed the secret that clerics could gain their spells without needing to worship a god. Avamerin at first didn't understand what Sertrous had said and decapitated him, and brought back his head.  Avamerin shared the words Sertrous had said, which resulted in the appearance of godless clerics. Avamerin got demoted to a Planetar for this and betrayed his masters to serve Sertrous. Sertrous still remains a powerless snake skull but he is slowly returning to life as he gains more worshipers. He is worshiped mainly by [[Yuan-ti]] who claim that he is their true creator.
