The Hordes of Hell

== Hell’s Cleaners ==
The infernal affinity for deception actually makes them better at cleaning up their messes than Heaven. All that’s really needed is a balseraph or two to twist the facts until the witnesses are prepared to believe their lies about what "really happened."
That said, most demon princes only clean up their mess because they don’t want Heaven (or the Game) to learn about their Earthly activities. However, Alaemon, Asmodeus, Beleth, and Kronos actively embrace the cover-up ~ though each has their own reasons.
Once an agent of the Game decides that a large-scale cleanup needs to take place, the War will help them requisition any local talent which might reasonably lend a hand ~ no matter who the demon normally serves. (Servitors of Haagenti in particular have proven surprisingly useful in removing evidence).
=== Mixed Parties ===
In the wake of a really big mess, it’s entirely possible that both Heaven and Hell will dispatch teams to the site. Because a new fight will just exacerbate the damage, this may well be the only time you’ll see Servitors of Khalid and Asmodeus working the side by side.
== Reasons for Serving Hell ==
* "I'm clearly not going to get into Heaven, so I might as well make the best of Hell."
* "Heaven won't protect me from Hell, but maybe if I serve the Hell, it won't destroy me. For a while."
* "Hell offers better short-term benefits than Heaven. I'll side with Hell now and repent later."
* "I want to be on the winning side, and it's obvious which one that is."
* "The Light and the Dark are really the same thing from a sufficiently mystical point of view, and the Dark is more fun."
* "Heaven is slavery. Hell is freedom. Freedom no matter what!" (A line of argument familiar to Lilith.)
* "I want X more than ANYTHING! More than Heaven! More than I want to escape the pains of Hell!" Popular values for X include:
** a great treasure
** great wealth in general
** a particular person as lover
** great beauty and/or sex appeal
** sorcerous power
** great physical/martial power
** the success of a favored cause
* "How dare you call the Great and Worshipable Thingie infernal!"
