Dispater
Dispater is an archdevil of the Nine Hells and the current Archduke of Dis, which he rules from the seemingly endless Iron City.
Even among devils, Dispater was renowned for his paranoia and his dealings in secrets and blackmail. A master strategiest who left very little to chance, Dispater was one of hte few archdukes to never have lost their position ruling on their Nine Hells. He was also prone to never take big risks, instead manipulating allies and enemies like board pieces in a millennia-long chess game.
However, Dispater's disposition has begun shifting in recent years from calculating to paranoid, and he has been noted to rarely leave the impregnable Iron Tower from which he rules.
Tenets of Faith
Worshippers of Dispater often shared his predilication for accounting for every contingency, making small but strategically significant moves, and outwitting their opponents. While some cultists of Dispater preferred to embody their patron's love of secrets and blackmail, others resonated more with his tactical acumen on the battlefield. Regardless of how they advanced their own goals, cultists of Dispater left little to chance.
Dispaterian cultists are also secrative and militant, and cells of these cults are often the most stable of all the infernal cults, but that stability can also work against them, as the slow pace Dispater prefers to work under can often be counterintuitive for the mortal races.
