Pit Fiend

==Summary==
Pit Fiends are the highest tier of devils present in Baator, the Nine Hells, and act as generals of the armies of lesser baatezu around them, as well as the ultimate manipulators and agents of corruption of mortals. Of all sixteen ranks of baatezu, Pit Fiends sit at the top of the hierarchy.
The lords of the Nine Hells delight in perverting and altering contracts made by the Pit Fiends to their will. It is known that the only thing barring a Pit Fiend from ascending to the ranks of Archdevils and Dukes is merely the obstacle of prestige and renown- thus they strive endlessly to achieve these things through insidious deeds.
