Demons

**Demons**, known as **Infernals**, **Satanics** or **Sheonites**, are a race of immortal beings that inhabit Sheol, known as Hell. The first demons are known as the Fallen Angels, celestials who followed the archangel Lucifer in his rebellion and were banished to darkness. In Hell, they transformed, becoming agents of evil and chaos.

## History

### Lucifer's Rebellion

After the Uprising of Sodom and Gomorrah, a great crisis was established in the Seven Heavens, as there were so many rebellions against the Archangel Michael. Lucifer, cunning and manipulative, took advantage of this instability to speak in favor of humans and the cause of Metatron, with the aim of taking for himself the power and position of new ruler of the universe. Several celestials fell on his lips, which culminated in a war, the so-called Lucifer Rebellion. Unfortunately for the Bearer of Light, the outcome was favorable for Michael and his troops, and Lucifer and his angel followers were banished to a dark dimension called Sheol, created by Yahweh to guard the corpse of Tehom and her Monster Gods.

### In Sheol

Lucifer and his followers preserved their spirit bodies. Now, removed from the Seven Heavens, the angels no longer had a function to be followed and so they distorted themselves to adapt to the new environment, losing their graces and turning into creatures of darkness and chaos, and came to be called of demons. Lucifer consecrated himself as the supreme ruler of Hell, the only archangel who fell and, now omnipotent, reordered the ancient angelic castes, which came to be called infernal orders: the Seraphim became the Satanis, the Cherubim became Malikis, the Ishim became Zanathus, Hashamallim became Baal, Elohim became Belial, and Ophanim became Daimonium. Some orders retained caste-like characteristics, such as the Satanis who became the infernal bureaucrats, while others became the complete opposite of what they once were, such as the Daimoniuns who, unlike the Ophanim, work to cause the damnation of humans. In general, now the Sheonites' new role was to bring discord and terror to humans and the universe.

The celestials also determined that Hell would be the new destination for human souls who were evil while alive. Therefore, every day, thousands of human spirits arrive in Sheol, where they are known as slave spirits. The vast majority spend the rest of eternity being tortured in an endless cycle, but others who were so evil while alive end up serving demon lords and themselves corrupt and become demons.

### The Lilim

After creating the infernal orders, Lucifer distributed offices and lands to the fallen and divided Sheol into Nine Circles. However, just like him, the demons also became ambitious and power hungry. Jezebeth, an archduke, organized a revolution against her master and received the support of several infernals, taking advantage of the fact that the Dark Archangel lacked a personal guard or militia.

Seeing this rebellion, Lucifer contacted the Lilim, beings who were all children of Lilith, Adam's first wife, and promised them prestige and titles if they fought on his side. The Lilim accepted and defeated the rebels and Jezebeth was then killed and replaced by Orion. Lilith descended into Sheol and became Lucifer's wife and Queen of Hell.

### War of Liberation

As conflicts are endless in Sheol, it would be a matter of time before another demon engineered a new insurgency, and so it did. Azazel the Obscure, a powerful duke and former archduke, challenged Lucifer and started what became known as the War of Liberation. Unfortunately for the fallen angel, the Infernal King was far more imposing and powerful than before and the campaign failed, resulting in Azazel's death.
