Ausul'veydiik, meaning the bleakness of Hell or simply Hellbleaker, is a member of the Gral Wahliik, a descendant of Tiamat. His grandfather was Balta'khar. His mother was Ahnutrix, one of the Reds of Kilth who played a role in the downfall of the Felak city-state and others during the Kilth Deeps War. Ausul'veydiik was born amidst the Red Scourge, as part of Ahnutrix's final clutch of eggs, which were kept hidden until the time was ripe for incubation.

In 799, Hellbleaker and his legion of fire giants assailed the city-state Orias Vual. The city's populace, predominantly firenewts, had grown indolent amidst riches and opulence, leaving them militarily unprepared for the attack. Whereas in the past, chests overflowing with gold and gems had sufficed to deter enemies, Hellbleaker was determined to seize all that Varelay possessed and more. Over the course of fifty years, Hellbleaker and his fiery horde had conquered three other city-states - two underground and one on the surface. In addition to capturing the great city of the Varelay, they subjugated a population of firenewts numbering in the tens of thousands, the majority of whom were shackled and conscripted into rebuilding what would soon become a new empire.

In 832, Hellbleaker integrated the vassal states of Orias Vaul and others into the expansive Goth-Dyvermoir empire.

In the year 1134, Hellbleaker and his elite force seized the city of Illadvard.

In 1456, a formidable army of fire giants and Gol'hakh, led by the renowned Asvard Fjoll, descended upon Orias Vaul. The sheer size of the invading force compelled the city's leaders to surrender and hand over the keys. Hellbleaker, the former ruler, fled underground, taking with him a substantial portion of his vast treasure hoard and a retinue of followers intent on rebuilding the church of Huhueteotl. However, many of these acolytes of the now-defunct deity met their demise at the hands of troops from Aebilchunus or were lost in the seemingly endless lava tubes of Sephu'phis.

Hellbleaker has not been sighted or referenced since his descent into Sephu'phis. Some speculate he either ventured deep into the Underdark or journeyed along the Earth Seam to another region of the realm.
