I feel like some of the Incubus Kings' powers don't really jive with their theme of sex and ruling. There's the sexual magic aspect, which fits with the implications of the shards being the remants of the Lustlord. Simon's general sex magic fits here,like body reshaping and tentacles, as well as King's Rebuke, Commanding Presence, Support Slaves/Servants/Allies, King's Aura, and Lust Renewal. Dominate and reshaping also fit into this category, but I'll explain my reasoning why I separated them in a bit.

The powers that stick out are Corrupt and the power that lets him destroy shit. Succubus don't seem to have a equivalent of Corrupt, even Yarra's and Nalili's powers don't corrupt foes, they simply use sexual energy. The power that lets him destroy inanimate objects is hard for Simon, who doesn't indulge in the corruption like other Succubus Kings do.

It seems like the shards give two different sets of powers, one focused on sex and the other on destruction. The Lustlord, if we accept the theory that the shards are pieces of his soul, doesn't seem to have the power to corrupt things or destroy things only having power over sex and souls. I say souls because dominating and reshaping seem to directly affect the soul.

I think his place in the world before he got shattered, besides banging, was seeking out demonic corruption and purifying it. There doesn't seem to be demons that are affected by offensive divine magic, but sexual and arcane magic do strongly damage them (correct me if I'm wrong here.) I hypothesize that either there was too much corruption one day and it overloaded him or the demons purposefully flooded him until his soul broke. It would explain why the Incubus Kings can absorb corruption so easily, and why they have some powers that don't fit the sex theme. The corruption and annihlation powers aren't from the Lustlord, but the demonic energy.

If he was somebody that directly combated demons, the Incubus Kings' ability to self-renew themselves, bolster their allies, and affect large amounts of enemies all speak to combat prowess supporting a group.

I also hypothesize he wasn't made/formed/created in the divine realm, but formed on the earthly realms. As his powers revolved around sex/ruling he first made orcs, who were mostly instinctive brutes who wanted to fuck and fight. As he grew more used to his powers he then made the more intelligent and rational succubi, and also made them compatible with his orcs. Then one of the six godesses discovered him and saw that he had made races, and decided they wanted their own. Let's say the Mother wanted her elves and banged him until they had the energy to form the elves out of the the trees or some shit. Because he had made the elves relatively soon after making the succubi, they were similar, as seen in their lifespans, ability to breed, and susecptibility to sexual magic. Then there was probably a parade of godesses wanting him to make their own races as well. Then after that he decided to craft humans by himself, making them have a mix of traits from his other creations.

Then something happened and he got fucking soul exploded, corrupted, and probably trapped in a hellish limbo watching the Incubus Kings' abuse their power while being corrupted along.
