Post your ideas of how some demons came to be and expand upon their small descriptions from the games!

My personal headcanon is that every time a demon dies, it is reborn as a Lost Soul inside the guts of a Pain Elemental. It can only "upgrade" by killing a human, which allows it to turn into a former human like the zombieman, shotgunner or chaingunner - or by killing higher-classed demons, which lets it possess that demon, causing the soul of that demon to become a Lost Soul once again. I think the DOOM 2016 codex said something similar to this about the Lost Soul. Basically, my idea is that every demon in the games is just a flesh suit being controlled by a Lost Soul.
