Created in the 4th age, Rakshasa were made in secret by Asmodeus and Rahko. The pair suspected the power the babe Guerra would one day hold, and so thought to solidify their hold over her by making an army for her to one day command. Nearly as gifted in arcane magic as the couatl and naturally resistant to injury, their greatest flaw was an infusion of passion into the core of their being when first presented to Guerra. Each type of rakshasa has a preference for a certain type of passion, and most are unable to help but indulge when given the opportunity.

In the 6th age, Guerra released her soldiers from her service, granting them their freedom until the day she calls on them. While most of the rakshasa departed, a small group remained behind, forming Guerra’s honour guard until she is required to lead armies once more. Since their release, the rakshasa have infiltrated Tolomar, and seem to have twisted their natures while within the Firmament. These changes allow them to reincarnate in a new body if they are ever slain on Tolomar, but not outside of it. Most rakshasa refuse to leave the world for this reason.
