Dispater

==Summary==
Dispater, Lord of the Iron Tower, Lord of the Second, is one of the nine Archdevils that rules Baator, the Nine Hells. He is in command of the second layer, Dis, a layer largely populated by his sprawling city of the same name. Dispater is among the oldest of the Archdevils, being among the original fallen angels that organized Baator during the fall of Asmodeus.
Dispater is known for many things, most notably his total unwillingness to physically leave his iron tower, a magical structure that will keep him indestructible, supposedly even against the likes of Asmodeus himself. Furthermore, Dispater is known for his paranoia, intrigue, and war-like nature, traits which have allowed him to keep his position. His only consort is a mistress known as Iron Maiden, who maintains one of the largest spy networks throughout all of the Planes. Thus Dispater remains heavily informed- information which lends him the ability to feed his paranoia even further.
Dispater's cults are infamous for building treacherous fortresses in the middle of nowhere, and holing up.
