Publishing History
The demon lord Verin has his origins in Gary Gygax's Gord novels. In Sea of Death, Come Endless Darkness, and Dance of Demons, Graz'zt is served by a demon lord named Vuron, who is as hyper-intelligent as he was evil. Vuron's patience and forethought contributes to Graz'zt's success, and he is thus regarded as unlike any of the other demons of the Abyss.
Vuron was equated by fans of the game with Verin, who in turn, was one of the many demon lords listed in the first edition Monster Manual II. In the Planescape supplement Faces of Evil: The Fiends, Verin has been canonically and officially designated as a demon lord who serves Graz'zt.
Upon the publishing of Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss in the game's third edition, Verin is the so-called Voice of Graz'zt.
