Seven is the number of the powers of Hell, and Seven is the number of the Great Evils.?
[[Duriel]], the Lord of Pain
With the ascension of Man and the subsequent standstill of the [[Great Conflict]], the Three Brothers began to devote their energies to the perversion of mortal souls. The Three realized that Man was the key to victory in the war against Heaven, and thus altered their rigid agendum that they had propagated since the Beginning. This change caused many of the Lesser Evils to question the authority of the Three, and so brought about a great rift between the Prime Evils and their servitors.
In their ignorance, the Lesser Evils began to believe that the Three were afraid to continue the war with Heaven. Frustrated by the cessation of the war,[[Azmodan]] and [[Belial]] saw the situation as their chance to overthrow the PrimeEvils and take control of Hell for themselves. The two demon lords made a pact with their minor brethren, assuring them that the wretched plague of humanitywould not deter the ultimate victory of the sons of Hell. [[Azmodan]] and Belial devised a plan to end the stalemate, achieve victory in the Sin War and ultimate lyride the bloody crest of the [[Great Conflict]] straight into the very arms of Armageddon. Thus, a great revolution was set into motion as all of Hell went to war against the Three Brothers?.
The Brothers fought with all of the savagery of the Underworld, and to the ircredit, annihilated a third of Hell's treacherous legions. In the end, however, theywere overcome by the Horned Death led by the traitors Azmodan and Belial. The Prime Evils, weakened and bodiless, were banished to the mortal realm where Azmodan hoped that they would remain trapped forever. Azmodan believed that with the Three set loose upon humanity, the Angels would be forced to turn theirfocus upon on the mortal plane - thus leaving the Gates of Heaven abandoned and defenseless. Those few demons who still pledged allegiance to the Three Brothers fled the wrath of [[Azmodan]] and [[Belial]], escaping to the realm of Man to seek out their lost Masters.
