Prince of Secrets

Secrecy makes a little thing precious, and a precious thing worth killing for. Alaemon and his servants know more, have more and are more than they ever let on. They always have aces up their sleeves. Alaemon was a Mercurian, and one of Litheroy's most valued angels, who tripped and Fell in the Middle Ages. He spent 5 centuries clawing his way up out of the Pit and to the position of Prince.

Princess of Nightmares

Beleth was one of the first celestials created, and was the angel of Fear, working with her lover, the Archangel Blandine. Lucifer inspired her paranoia and hatred of humanity and when the revolution came, she sided with him against Heaven and her former lover, becoming a Djinn and the Demon Princess directly opposed to Blandine's Word.

Beleth and her demons promote not only the literal sense of nightmares, but also living nightmares-- lives of fear and mistrust-- among humanity.

Prince of Hardcore

The Prince of Hardcore is insultingly honest. He has no pretentions about who he is or what he is about; he doesn't stick his nose up in the air, instead getting his hands dirty down in the frontlines, or the raves and moshpits, as the case may be. His servitors are not known for being the peaceful type, and are pledged to answer violence with violence and never to try to protect anyone's feelings. Life is tough and brutal, and they are likewise.

Servitors of Hardcore are anti-establishment, anti-government, anti-authority, anti-"the Man," nihilistic, post-modern, corroders of conformity. They are, for the most part, in-your-face, loud, aggressive, self-righteous, leper messiahs who bring enlightenment to the masses, along with a large dose of meaningless violence, and follow the Three Noble Truths of sex, drugs, and rock & roll. But after all, what do you expect? The world is Hardcore, man, we're just living in it.

Prince of Drugs

Fleurity is the most recent in a long line of demons holding the Word of drugs. He's not one of the nicer ones, either. He's a Habbalite party demon who believes the more people who get hurt, the better the party.

Prince of Lust

Andrealphus and his demonic Servitors are the most hot-handed and cold-hearted creatures ever to crawl out of Hell. The Prince of Lust, Andre to his friends, is a perfect Impudite. He enjoys worldly missions of glamour and politics. When subtlety is required, Andrealphus has many eager servants. He and his Servitors are well-liked by all the Princes with a taste for pleasure. Andre frowns upon any demon whose general appearance is even the least bit monstrous, preferring to deal with "pretty people." His servants, and even other Princes, often have trouble contacting him-- he's always got a rendezvous to attend to.

"As punishment by Lucifer for an apparent insult, Andrealphus has been forced to join the team. To add insult to injury, his avatar has been ade to take the form of a most hideous zombie."

Prince of Dark Humor

Kobal, an Impudite, is Hell's court jester. Lucifer allows the Kobal to say, with wicked wit, what no other Prince would dare think. The former Archangel of Laughter used to spend a great deal of time on Earth, but now he spends less. He is jaded and often angry, bored, caustic or depressed. He never wears to same guise twice, though his Servitors always recognise him. He specialises in word games and intelligent humour, leaving the more crude visual gags to his "brother" Haagenti.

Prince of the Media

Nybbas is an Impudite and the newest major Prince in Hell. Nybbas, a low-ranking servitor of Vapula, with the aid of several human allies, invented the television and was immediately crowned by Lucifer, quite to the consternation of both Heaven and Hell. His device to mold the thoughts and dreams of mankind is working all too well. His grinning countenance is more sickening and terrifying than the worst game-show host. But, beneath his friendly exterior, his is disdainful and manipulative. His eyes are always hidden behind mirror shades or some other obstruction. No one has ever seen them.

Prince of Theft

Valefor is a Calabite, thin and suave, with an unusual sense of style and flair for his Band. He is famous for having stolen a number of valuable things, including the true prophecies of Michel de Nostradame from Yves' library. These flashy personal thefts won him his Word and position with Lucifer.

Valefor and his Servitors not only commit a great deal of thefts themselves, both from Heaven and on Earth, but also promote thieving among humans. Recently, he and Nybbas teamed up to promote stylish thieves such as Robin Hood as media heroes.

Destroyed in his 6th game, Valefor has stolen a new lease on life in the form of a reincarnated avatar.

Prince of Cruelty

The Prince of Cruelty's name is one that you don't tend to hear very much, considering the fact that the Shedite has been buried in the desert sands for the last three millenia. Magog was entombed there by Khalid, the Archangel of Faith, and David (who was formerly the demon's Superior at a time when Magog was the Kyriotate Angel of Fortitude).

"Recently Magog was found and subsequently feed by his servitors. At Lucifer's command his Avatar has joined the team to let this world know he has returned, and not for the better."

Prince of Death

Saminga is a Shedim, who prefers to wear a decaying corpse on Earth. He started out as an ordinary demon, but through the ages learned the secret of mummification from the Egyptians and eventually used it to create an army of undead sorcerors. While his occult power soon exceeded some of the other Princes, Saminga posed no threat to Lucifer, as he didn't want to take over Hell. He considers death to be the ultimate evil and, as he is Death, is arrogant and patronising. Since he is also not particularly bright, this makes him pathetically easy to manipulate.

"It was in this manner that Saminga was convinced to join the team. His position and influence meant to inspire the team as well as the opportunity to cause mahem personally."

Saminga and his Servitors promote the Word of death. Destruction of property and animal deaths aren't important. Only the death of intelligent beings, preferably in fear and agony, is interesting. His Servitors also have the ability to create undead.

Prince of the War

With Baal in command of Hell's armies, their chances look better every century. Baal is a Balseraph and a warrior-- a hard-core liar with a strange sort of honour. Not a brute, he is instead a cultured killer, with more class than the wild Belial and more brains than Saminga.

Prince of the Game

Asmodeus is the chief of Hell's secret police, responsible for hunting down the renegade demons and other traitors to the infernal armies. The Djinn Prince of the Game is one of the most powerful members of Hell's royalty, second only to Kronos. Most of his peers fear and hate Asmodeus, since he and his Servitors are charged with the slaying of renegades' corporeal vessels. To Asmodeus and his servants, a demon is renegade (and within their jurisdiction) is he has acted against the wishes, either expressed or implied, of his Prince, if he possesses any Discord, or if his actions call his loyalty to Hell into question.

More than anything else, Asmodeus is the counterweight to Malphas and his stirring of dissent. He weeds out the demons who might defect to the angels or threaten Lucifer's own plans. Any Prince at all can call upon the Asmodeus' Inquisitors-- but most would prefer to deal with problems themselves, rather than risk the careful scrutiny of the Prince of the Game.

Prince of Fire

Belial was a servant of Gabriel before the Fall. Lucifer promised him the Word of Fire when they overthrew God and has kept that promise as best he could. The Calabite Prince of Fire is a fighter and takes himself very seriously. His vessels are always strong and well-built, well-dressed, and with an air of sophistication, though he goes nowhere without a weapon. A three-piece suit with flamethrower on his back would be perfectly in character.

His Avatar destroyed in his first game ever, Belial has returned to avenge his humilation.

Prince of Fate

Kronos, a Balseraph, is the most powerful of Hell's Princes. He alone among the Princes still has a connection to the Symphony and can hear its workings. He rarely speaks, but when he does, it is with a calm authority that the other Princes often find annoying.

Kronos and his Servitors embody the Word of Fate-- the lowest, darkest thing a human could become. Kronos doesn't care about most people in the world. It is only those who have a great and bright destiny that he seeks to crush by the dark hand of Fate.
