'''Balfrug Kreeyath''' is one of [[K'ril Tsutsaroth]]'s bodyguards, along with [[Zakl'n Gritch]] and [[Tstanon Karlak]]. He attacks with [[Magic]] by launching massive fireballs at the player and has a max hit of 170 damage. Judging from his examine description, the demon destroyed the desert city of [[Ullek]] during the God Wars.

Balfrug Kreeyath also counts as a [[Black Demon]] while on a Black Demon Slayer Task. As a demon, he is weak to the power of [[Silverlight]] and [[Darklight]].

==History==
Kreeyath's origins and history remain largely uncertain. He presumably arrived in [[Gielinor]] from the [[Infernal Dimensions]] at some point during the [[Second Age|Second]] or [[Third Age]]s, and was a strong follower of [[Zamorak]] during the God Wars. Kreeyath perhaps rose to fame during the [[Kharidian Desert Campaign]] of 3,000 to 4,000, as a huge number of deities and factions fought to claim the [[Kharidian Desert]].

The [[Battle of Uzer|Defeat of Uzer]] at the hands of the demon [[Thammaron]], coupled with the general violence of the [[Northern Kharidian Desert Campaign]], warned the city of Ullek of the potential danger it was in. Shortly after the [[Mahjarrat]] [[Azzanadra]] destroyed the remnants of Thammaron's army, Kreeyath and a huge number of Zamorakian followers (possibly including the mostly independent forces of [[Lord Lowerniel Vergidiyad Drakan]], lord of vampyres) laid siege to Ullek, which was one of the last great civilizations of the Second Age still in existence at the time.

The people of Ullek were prepared for the invasion, and fought Kreeyath and the rest of the invaders with [[human]] and elite [[clay golem]] soldiers. However, despite the city's strong military and natural geographical defenses, Ullek was defeated with general ease. A number of the city's residents managed to escape through the city's complex tunnel network, through which they fled to the small city of [[Sophanem]] near the [[Southern Sea]]. During the course of the battle, Kreeyath earned his title "Despoiler of Ullek."

At some point after the [[Battle of Ullek]], Kreeyath worked as a bodyguard alongside [[Zakl'n Gritch]] and [[Tstanon Karlak]], two fellow demons, under the [[Kal'Gerion|Greater Demon]] [[K'ril Tsutsaroth]], one of Zamorak's most powerful and loyal generals. Near the end of the God Wars, Tsutsaroth led Zamorak's forces at the battle for the [[Godsword]] in a large [[God Wars Dungeon|cave]] in what is now [[Troll Country]]. Kreeyath helped to lead the forces within the tunnel against [[Saradomin]]ist, [[Bandos]]ian, and [[Armadyl]]ist militaries. During the course of the battle, however, a spell caused the already frigid cave to freeze over, leaving Kreeyath and the rest of the battle's combatants frozen for millennia.

In 169 of the [[Fifth Age]], tectonic movement within the [[Wilderness]] caused the dungeon's temperature to rise slightly, allowing many of its combatants to escape their frozen state. Amongst these was Kreeyath, who under Tsutsaroth continued a battle that had been halted for over 2,000 years during the Third Age. Although the battle was noticed by the [[dwarves|dwarven explorer]] [[Nestor Peregrine]], from [[Keldagrim]], and the [[Temple Knights]], the battle continues to this day, and Kreeyath still fights to obtain the Godsword, not knowing that the God Wars are over. Like many others, Kreeyath seems to be severely weakened by being trapped in ice for so long.

==Trivia==
*Balfrug's title, "The Despoiler of [[Ullek]]", was in the game long before any other information about Ullek was revealed. Until the release of the [[Dealing with Scabaras]] quest, nothing about Ullek was known.
*Interestingly enough, Balfrug has a lower combat level than normal black demons despite the fact that he possesses more life points and a higher max hit.
*The choice of naming of the character; "Balfrug" may be a small reference to "Balrog"; a fictional character from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth legendarium, made famous by the "Lord of the Rings". This may be because a "Balrog" is described as a similarly demonic, and formidable creature, and as such may have inspired the game designers.
