Kattalka are a lesser demon, created by the Bazrrod -the demon lords- to serve them by using one of their soul shards in a creation.

They are what the demons call a Kattalka or Cascomi: demon soldiers, created by their masters with this only purpose.

a Kattalka is a demon soldier, with a minor soul shard. They doesn't have a personality, they don't eat or drink, and are pretty much mindless outside of the specific task they where created to fullfil. A Cascomi is any type of Kattalka, with a superior Soul Shard, which provided him more inteligence -and so, a personality-, often to command Kattalkas-</sub>

The Kattalka where a vital piece of the early Dark Legion of Demons, as they composed the core of their armies.

However, the lesser demons, created by the process of splitting the demon lord soul in soul shards to animate their minions, had a great drawback: with each shard used, the demon lord became weaker and weaker.

And in the ealry wars, against the Dumian and Vakkusta, the loss of such minions where irreparable, and many of the weakened demon lords falled, defeated by their enemies -or by the other demon lords-.

This was one of the reasons why the early Dark Legion needed to recruit in their service allies, mercenaries and vassals -who proved to be much less loyal: that's why later the demons tried to change them for their own created and breeded servants.

After lossing their role as infantry of the dark legions, however, the diverse classes of Kattalka didn't dissapeared, because of they loyalty, they where used as selected infantry units, and the Cascomi, as officers and officials.

In general, demons are ambitious -and as some observers can notice, conspirations and backstabing isn't unknown among them-. However, the demons created by the process of splitting a demon lord soul in shards, share the soul shard, and the fate: and even if the "shards" of the demonlord can have their own personality and ambitions, the death of the demon Lord mean the end as well of the shards, who slowly fade away. Because of this, the "Shards" are one of the few ways for a demon lord to get completely loyal demon minions.
