Archduchess Glasya
Archduchess
Glasya is the ruler of the Sixth Hell
Malbolge and the 666th layer of the
Abyss, Purgatorio. She is the daughter of
Asmodeus and Princess of the
Nine Hells.
The totality of existence: pleasure and pain. - Glasya
Personality
Glasya is often associated with whimsical
Lust and all-encompassing
Pride, and is usually depicted as arbitrary and self-centered. Glasya notably believes that her body is the highest form of art. Thus, she changes her appearance weekly if not daily, always in search of new ways of self expression. Her true form, if she remembers it, is unknown.
Family
Glasya often rebels against her father, Asmodeus, although usually only in mischievous ways. As the individual who granted her dominion of Malbolge, he has threatened to take her position away in the past; however, he has never yet followed up on his threat.
Rulership
Glasya's political dominion over Malbolge is largely characterized by her heavy delegation of power to high ranking
Devils, including many former Archdevils, who are compensated lavishly with significant boons, vacation time, and invitations to extravagant orgies. This is largely thought to come at the expense of lower ranking devils, who are incentivized to work hard to reach a high rank through coercive means. Glasya is widely understood to a master of inspiring jealousy. Observers from the Infernal Courts of
Maladomini have noted that she benefits from a strong cult of personality amongst her close followers and
Apostles.
