Notable Fiends

NINTH CIRCLE

Ormun is the second of the Sons of Asmodeus and the reigning Prime Archdevil of the Hells of Faem. Whereas his elder brother Fa'aum was more neutral, Ormun is often thought to be the very embodiment of evil. His power rivals that of a god's even if he does not have any access to direct divinity.

Ormun is known to have taken many forms throughout Faem's history, although his more flamboyant attempts at world domination have taken place mostly within the last 1000 years after Asmodeus abandoned the realm. Ormun inherited the title of Prime Archdevil from his father as the oldest living son. Many infernal scholars believe that Ormun's new dominion is one of the main reasons he began to interfere with the Material Plane, seeking to merge it with the hells in an attempt to bolster his own powers and potentially ascend to godhood.

Besides his seemingly constant attempts to take over Faem, he is also most known for his rivalry with his younger brother and his defeat at the hands of nothing more than a bunch of pirates.

EIGHTH CIRCLE

Also known as the "Nik", "Wish Doctor" and "Niklaus Hendrix", Niklaus is the youngest of the Sons of Asmodeus and the most well-known in modern times. Known mostly for what became known as "Hendrixian Deals", he would grant wishes to mortals in exchange for whatever he wished in return. In recent years, Niklaus would often break his contracts and lock his signees into very unfortunate existences. His motivations are theorized but unknown.

Niklaus is known to have died multiple times throughout history, reincarnating as a "new" Niklaus with a drastically different personality each time. His latest reincarnation saw much sorrow left in his wake before he was Soulbound to the Hells by the Nightbreeze Pirates.

Prior to his Soulbinding, Niklaus was also an infamous scaper that traveled throughout the various realms in search of divinity. There is also evidence of his meddling throughout the timestream thanks to a purported deal with Erunkay.

SIXTH CIRCLE

Known predominantly as the "Queen of Chaos", Lilith is the Keeper of the Abyss, taking over as such when Asmodeus relocated its entrance from the Material Plane to the Sixth Circle of the Hells.

Lilith is known especially for originally being a celestial that served Vital, the goddess of life. Her energies and connection to the portfolio of the living helped to keep the Abyss sealed. Unfortunately, her pride disallowed her from admitting she was equally affected by the energies of the Abyss until it was too late.

Lilith's very soul was transformed by the dark ambient magic of the Abyss, warping her into a chaotic entity far removed from who she once was. While she still watches over the Abyss, she also finds its occasional opening to be a fun occasion for the other Archfiends to deal with.

FIFTH CIRCLE

Renaudon has lived as many different species: from mortal human to vampire to devil. Nowadays, he is an Archdevil that is commonly considered by many dhampirs to be their "patron saint", of sorts. Many undead hellions come from his scioning and experiments.

Like Niklaus, Renaudon is known to make deals with mortals. His deals, however, tend to be primarily regarding blood and kinship and do not usually have the typical niklausian monkey's paw, although he's hardly known as a fair dealer.

Taking pride in the industrialization of the Fifth Circle, Renaudon's infernal factories are likely the source of widely distributed infernal metal, as well as hellish spell components such as devil blood.

FIRST CIRCLE

Widely considered to be the most reasonable of the reigning Archdevils, Mercin's biggest folly is that she is indeed still a devil. The First Circle of the Hells is known to be the fairest of them all, but its red and fiery landscape is no different from the rest of them.

Mercin is known to provide a home to tieflings and other devilkin mortals, even providing them with libations and work amongst her courtiers.
