Asmodeus

Asmodeus is the evil god of tyranny and domination. He was once an archangel and exarch serving a god now only known as He Who Was, the god of good and peace and possibly the creator of humanity. Asmodeus betrayed his god, killing him and having the devils erase all knowledge of the god’s name for fear that the mere mention of it would revive him. This transformed Baator from the realm of He Who Was to the Nine Hells of Baator, a prison for Asmodeus and his subjects. His body is covered in wounds that bleed daily, sustained from his fall. The blood from these wounds is said to spawn devils.
Asmodeus rules The Nine Hells with an iron fist and a silver tongue. Aside from Devils, evil creatures such as rakshasas pay him homage and evil tieflings and warlocks are drawn to his dark cults.

Tenets of Faith

His rules are strict and his punishments harsh:

• Seek power over others, that you might rule with strength as the Lord of Hell does.

• Repay evil with evil. If others are kind to you, exploit their weakness for your own gain.

• Show neither pity nor mercy to those who are caught underfoot as you climb your way to power. The weak do not deserve compassion.
