Iuz is the demigod of Deceit, Pain, Oppression, and Evil in Greyhawk. He is the half-fiend son of ... someone. It was first mooted he might be "a by-blow of Orcus"; since then, consensus has narrowed to the union in Perrenland between demon prince Graz’zt and the powerful witch Iggwilv. So, born 480-90 CY.
Appearing on Oerth as a shriveled old man or as a huge demonic being, Iuz has many fiendish allies and impersonates other gods to fool mortals and increase his territory. He holds a particular hatred for Zagyg, Vecna, St. Cuthbert, and the City of Greyhawk. He rules the Empire of Iuz.
He was also an enemy in the Temple of Elemental Evil, where he forgot to come with his equipment, so the player can beat his ass silly if he minmaxed correctly, resulting in an amusing ending mentioning his fear of the player. The Mirror of Life Trapping in here is also a fun way to boof this guy. Demons are always getting chained up in the Flanaess. They should probably leave it alone.
The Greyhawk Wars and especially From The Ashes had Iuz on the verge of conquering the whole Flanaess, totally fucking up the balance and, thereby, the heart of this setting. The late 1990s Wizards of the Coast shakeup rolled back some of his gains, restoring the status quo somewhat.
