I look forward to reading what MM has to say on the subject. That will certainly clear up whether the Yrkoon's from the two different sagas are one and the same entity.
From the perspective of the novels it is quite reasonable to postulate that they are, and I have no problem with that. It is likely that MM(as I said before) may well have intended them to be the same. I just thought that I would highlight the small inconsistency of Yrkoon's claim to humanity.
Anyway, as Loz says, we could tie ourselves up in knots with the little inconsistencies that litter MM's works.
The background as presented in the game suggests that Demons are the tortured and twisted souls of those who died in the service of Chaos or at their hands. I like this much better than the notion that Demons are otherplanar entities. This means that in my game the two Yrkoon's are not the same entity. Whether time is linear or not, Prince Yrkoon cannot be a Demon until his soul falls into the hands of the Gods of Chaos. As his soul was devoured by Stormbringer that means that, in my game, he can never become a demon.
Unless of course he is Prince Yrkoon from a variant Young Kingdoms plane where the Black swords were never found and where triumphant over his albino cousin, he imposed the rule of his forebears once again upon the upstart Young Kingdoms.
AAAAAAARGHHH! :lol:
