'''Ahriman''' is the Middle Persian name for '''Arimanes''' or '''Aŋra Mainiiu''', a figure from Zoroastrianism, that great Lie (''druj'') who opposes the truth (''arta'', ''asha'') of Ohrmazd. [[Pathfinder]] brought him in as the master to the [[Div]] race.

Ahriman's physical manifestation is your horny beasty black [[balrog]], complete with whip; but with vulture-taloned feet. Under his skin, snakes undulate eternally.

Ahriman was born with the first [[djinn]], in their shadow; Chaos' own reaction to the Divine work of creation. So he is theologically apart from the rebel-angel myths of Islam and late-antique Christendom.

His domains are Darkness, Death, Destruction, and Evil - but especially Destruction, since he's not a [[Daemon (Pathfinder)|daemon]]. His sigil is (per the third ''Bestiary'') "a black circle with a thin sliver of light overtaken by darkness".
