The Demons of the Rift are creatures from The Void, summoned forth by Exdeath in the video game Final Fantasy V.
The void is a primordial nothingness, it is a blank that exists, or rather doesn’t, just beyond reality. Exdeath is the product of numerous evil spirit sealed in a warding purification tree, but was so filled after a while with evils, the evil spirits all merged, bought part of the tree to life and this evil homunculus is Exdeath. Unable to kill Exdeath the Dawn Warriors - guardians of the elemental crystals, banished him instead. The elemental crystals are nodes of reality nature sprung from in the Void, so the Dawn Warriors used them as conduits to that primeval nothingness to send Exdeath where he could do no damage. Exdeath spent years in the Void until the crystals became weakened from overuse and then used them as reverse conduits back to the real world projecting his will through them to possess those near the crystals to shatter them until he was free.
Upon freedom, Exdeath, having seen the Void decides to find a way to tear holes to it to use it as a weapon against reality, he eventually succeeds by gaining access to the research of the evil wizard Enuo. Once in control of the Void the Demons of the Rift begin to emerge to serve as envoys. It is ambiguous if the demons were also imprisoned like Exdeath, or if they were some of the evils merged together as him until recently that Exdeath simply cast off in the Void. But they are all evil by their very nature and eager to help weaponize the Void.
