Line 190:
** Demons are played differently in ''[[Pathfinder]]''—while they love wanton murder and destruction, they ''don't'' want to destroy everything because then they'd have no more fun. Instead, the cessation of all life is the goal of the [[Neutral Evil]] daemons, who know nothing but hatred for everything, themselves included, and derive pleasure from nothing. To compare the two, whereas a demon would rape you to death for its own enjoyment, a daemon would quickly and efficiently kill you just to snuff you out.
*** The Asuras are a minor type of [[Lawful Evil]] fiends who want to destroy all of divine creation as they are "errors" of the gods, while the [[Eldritch Abomination|Qlippoth]] want to eradicate [[Kill All Humans|all sentient live]] so no sinful souls arrive in the Abyss to form Demons, so the Qlippoth can reclaim it for them again.

They also (unknowingly) serve the Abyss).

{{quote|'''Necron Pariah:''' There is an alternative (to life). There exists a state in which all conflict is resolved and all is cold and silent. There are no wants, no wars, no squabbles. You may call this state death if you wish, but that is a misnomer. Death is but the ending of life, and that is only a means to an end. That end is purity, the time when all is still and unchanging.}}
* This is the true nature of the Army of the Expeditionary Force, from the aptly named ''3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars''.
