Abraxas (Ah-brax-sis)
Abraxas is the 6th archdevil and ruler of the 6th infernal layer The Black Fortress of Malebolge, a terrible flaming forest covered in ash. It is said that all who burn join the armies of Abraxas. A being of seething wrath, the Lord of the Sixth embodies both absolute discipline and directed destructive force. General of the hellish armies, Abraxas endlessly trains his infernal legions to be the greatest martial force in the multiverse, and ultimately defeat the hosts of Heaven and goodness throughout the Great Beyond. He is the Archdevil that rules over the areas of War, Obedience, and Fire
Abraxas is known for being disciplined, severe, and merciless, but aside from commanding a hellish war machine, he is also very mercenary in his recruitment for his legions in that he is willing to provide services for those who honor him; if people sacrifice to him, he fixes their problems. Should one burn offerings to Abraxas to stop a flood and save their village, he is probably more likely to step in and stop the flood than the other archdevils. The caveat, of course, is that whether one worships him as part of a militaristic cult, as part of the traditions of one's people, or just because his standing offer of aid is tempting, serving him damns a soul to his fortress in Malebolge after death. But when faced with dying at the hands of a foe, infernal intervention for either benevolent or selfish reason might be worth the price of later damnation.
