Demonic Hierarchy

The hierarchy of demons in Hell determines their position, goals, and tasks. Evil is often represented by The Devil, a character full of malice, hatred, darkness, and bad energy. But take in mind that this is not based on their powers and they are lower representative of evil since there are more beings that represent the peak of evil; an example would be Asgorath, who is evil, is an Archdemon, is the strongest hellish being and is on par with The Abuser in brutality, since Abuser is brutal but not evil as he just follows his mother's orders (Lady of Death). And then there is the Sister of Ms. Life and Lord of Neutrality, Lady Death, who is the most feared being on existence (at least on the planes below the Principles of Existence and above) and still not an evil being.
The authority over the underworld, where lost souls that deserve punishment go, ensures eternal torment. Many demons are classified by domain, performing one function or another, and are often in constant interaction with humans but indirectly, Because for a demon or being that represents or embodies a sin, its sin must be manifested in the minds of all human beings in order to be physically manifested in reality. Animals do not count since they are beings that are not very conscious/aware of their surroundings and are directly taken to heaven, unlike humans who have been breaking rules and virtues for years. Another fact about the last one, a virtue of heaven can be broken by a sin, this is because of how weak the spirit becomes when manifesting a sin, and it is impossible for a physical being (one that is aware of its surroundings and life) to break a sin because of how emotionally weak they are due to their awareness, making them feel this emotions of wrath, envy, lust, pride, greed, gluttony and sloth very constantly and easily, but this also depends on the civilization that one is dealing with.
The classification of demons is complex and can vary from belief to belief, based on factors such as their role in hell, hierarchy, deadly sins of Catholicism, and author's beliefs. Hell also has different zones or domains, with one rule in each place. Not all demons have the same powers or abilities, so they belong to a specific place and domain. Catholicism has historically established seven sins that are most severely punished and committed: gluttony, pride, lust, sloth, envy, anger, and greed. These sins go against morally accepted behavior of Catholic Christians and are represented by certain demons that prompt them to commit them.
== Demonic Classes ==
=== Sins and Demons ===
# In the case of envy, it is represented by Leviathan
# In turn, the sin of gluttony manifests itself through Beelzebub
# While lust is represented by Asmodeus
# The fourth is the sin of sloth, which is represented by Belphegor
# Wrath is manifested through Satan
# Next comes Mammon, who represents greed
# Finally, that of pride is represented by Lucifer
In this case, four groups or categories are established. This division is based on the manner in which they carry out the punishments and tortures of the souls who have gone to the underworld, as follows:
* Obsession: are those who are responsible for haunting people and souls.
* The Ghosts: they are the ghosts and they are always in places or even inside things.
* Fairies: They are the ones who give advice to those who are still alive.
* The Possessors: who are the ones who enter the body and make it their own.
=== Reign ===
The king or queen holds the highest position in the world, granting them absolute power and determining all activities. Satan, the greatest adversary of God, represents goodness, kindness, generosity, and service. Princes follow the king and must incite sin to qualify as princes. Also, we are talking of other kind of princes, the Seven Princes of Hell are called as so because they are under the power of the Devil, who is the king of hell absolutely. Dethroned generals, who do not belong to a capital, incite sin and leave little seeds all over the planet. These two classifications have great advantages, as they are essential parts of sin and can become eternal. Both have their advantages and consequences.
=== Supreme Commander ===
The category of elite commanders, ruled by a high-powerful demon known as Baphomet, has authority over the underworld's legions. Previously, this category was attributed to Pandora, but Baphomet resigned, leaving it vacant. The position is uncertain, but it is a crucial aspect of the underworld's military structure.
=== Archdemon ===
An Archdemon, a significant character in hell, holds immense power and is not responsible for spreading sin. They have various teams, including Archduke, Archmage, Rider, Tycoon, Organi-Lord, Portentus, and Vermin Lord. Archdukes have great prestige and power, while Archmages have magical abilities. Horsemen destroy the world, Tycoons rival underworld beings, and Organi-lords have a hunger for unsatisfied hunger. Omens await the throne with a prince, and the Lord of Parasites mobilizes masses of demonic beings.
=== Elite Commander ===
Ordinary demons strive to reach this category, as it is the highest for them. This group collects demons with greater power and abilities, offering advantages like numerous permits and easy transfer between territories. Their infernal status provides numerous benefits.
=== Subtypes of Demons ===
* The Goliards: the sin they manifest is that of gluttony and their main leader is Beelzebub, also their leader is called "The Gargoyle King".
* Oracle: in this case there are those who are ruled by Mammon, a demon who represents the deadly sin of greed. They are experts in matters related to black magic and spells of various kinds.
* Druid: Its leader or chief is Belphegor, who, as already mentioned, is the demon of sloth, another of the deadly sins. They are not magical, but they have the ability to ask permission to do something with black magic.
* Seraphim: Lucifer is the one who commands this group because he is the demon responsible for the sin of pride. They have no relevant characteristics, what is generally said is that they can have direct contact with Lucifer, which not all can do.
==== An immortal demon of lust ====
* Gorgon: The main leader is Asmodeus, who is the demon of lust. Their most notable feature is that they are immortal, they can hypnotize. It is a female being and is closely related to Greek gods .
* Admiral: his ultimate king is leviathan, who is the one who represents and manifests another of the deadly sins, envy. They have an impressive ability and that is to control the waters and the states they are in, but not limited to that, they also have powers over electricity.
* Fearless Warrior: The main character in this case is Satan, who is the one who represents anger. It is important to note that its power is acquired gradually.
* Vanguard: they are led by Ammonion, who is the demon of madness. A curious fact and one of its most distinctive features is that as they gain experience through various missions, they also gain skills.
=== Commandant ===
Commanders are a crucial group in the demon hierarchy, possessing combat skills and some items. They want permission to tour the underworld. There are six subtypes: Representative, Steward, Conscript, Royal Guardian, Forger, Tamer, and Royal Advisor. The last is an excellent strategist, exercising the greatest function in war.
==== Functions ====
Tamers control beasts, while Forgers create weapons. Royal Guardians protect underworld areas, while Summoners summon desired beings for specific purposes. Mayordomos serve higher hierarchy, while Representatives represent sins inherited by Satan. Mayordomos serve as servants to those in the higher hierarchy, while Representatives represent sins attributed to Satan. Royal Guardians and Summoners serve specific purposes, while Representatives represent sins inherited by Satan.
=== Nobility of the Demon Hierarchy ===
The demon hierarchy indludes nobility, who can be counted, emperors, or other leaders, primarily obtaining territories in the underworld. These include the Empire, Duchy, Government, Sin, Barony, Knighthood, Earldom, Marquess, and Lordship. The dominion has territories in hell, while the marquise are leaders without specific characteristics. Emperors have some power in the underworld, while Dukes are ruled by Astaroth. The government is divided into two powers, the earldom into four subtypes, and cavalry for protecting the underworld. Barons have limited power.
=== Elite Servant ===
A fighter's primary specialty is fighting, ane they can lead groups or be servants. They undergo exams to become a leader and are assigned special tasks. They are classified into seven subtypes: executor, strategist, messenger, bearer, receiver, kidnapper, watcher, antichrist, herald, and reaper. Positions can be elected or granted, and each performs specific actions according to their name, such as surveillance, kidnapping, or carrying an important item.
