Moloch
Duke of Ash
Moloch was once an archdevil in the Nine Hells that served as Baalzebul's viceroy in Malbolge before being exiled after the Reckoning. Though formerly the greatest duke of Hell, he was untrusted by his masters and betrayed by his subjects in a devious coup, after which the hated governor plotted his resurgence. Moloch spent the next few centuries creating a massive army of monsters, mortal followers, and sympathetic devilish soldiers until he amassed a force powerful enough to totally devastate the Hag Countess. Unfortunately, he left his legions to make final preparations while he obtained a powerful artifact to ensure victory, but became trapped when the item he planned to use to re-enter Hell, the Stone of Corbinet, was taken from him. Without their leader, his forces were crushed by Malagard, and Moloch had failed once more. Even without his influence, Malagarde eventually fell, much to Moloch's glee, although Glasya still rose in his place and it was rumored that at some point he was captured and tortured within SlagHe has tried many times and failed. He fled to the Material Realm and became the loyal follower of the Lords of Ash.
