The story is that, rather than make a choice, he refused to choose. And the dragon granted him freedom from his destiny... and trapped him in his own nihilism. His anger at being forced to fulfill some destiny he never wanted a part of, as well as his anger at the dragon for forcing him to choose, manifested itself and created the twisted psyche that is the demon. He's also had some countless time to sit and brood, devour other arisen, and gain power while sitting in his dark little corner. That's why he is so much more powerful than the Arisen, and even the dragon, as they are both fairly young in comparison.
