Misroch

**Misroch** is the drummer of Mall Rat, and owns and runs a "prestigious wiener establishment" in Brimstone Valley Mall, Pennsylvania. They've been surface-side for roughly thirty years, and was originally posted at a high-end, Michelin star restaurant in New York before Hornblas convinced them to move to Pennsylvania with him, Asmoraius, and Belzagor. They previously cooked butter noodles for Satan in Hell's Kitchen.

While Misroch dismisses humankind, they admit that living on Earth is preferable to living in Hell.

## Appearance

Not much is known about Misroch's appearance. In demon form, Misroch has two mouths (but only one soul) and seven asses. In human form, they point out that Belzagor is taller than them. When working at Wiener World, the apron they wear is yellow.

Once, Asmoraius mentions that Misroch wore a uniform while attending a concert since they didn't have any other clothes.

## Personality

A former line cook for the lord of Hell, Misroch is prideful and is often mean or rude, but not uncaring. They're no-nonsense in the face of work, and is often the one people turn to for organization and direction. Asmoraius describes them as passionate, controlling, and patronizing. They admit that they're not a people-person and often doesn't understand how their friends put up with them. Despite this, Misroch cares deeply for the people they love and has a surprising understanding of human emotions.

They can be hot-headed, irritable, and quick to judge. Misroch often butts heads with Belzagor which can devolve into arguments. Once they've relaxed after a fight, Misroch is eager to amend things with Belzagor and turn over a new leaf. When Xaphan first arrived, Misroch was explicit in their dislike of her. When they get determined, they stop at nothing to prove a point or get the job done; as was the case when they shoved a free sample down a man's throat, not caring that he choked on it.

Misroch is instinctively competitive, as they fiercely announce in Episode 7 that “everything is a competition.”

They are very prideful and often calls Wiener Hut a premiere culinary establishment despite the fact that customers rarely buy from their counter. They also vehemently object to being called stupid by Carpasinus. Despite being prideful, Misroch can be insecure at times. They're overtly jealous of how likable Hornblas is and believes Belzagor and Asmoraius prefers Hornblas over them.

They're dismissive of humans, calling them "dumb" or stupid, and is quick to call out Belzagor for being a "human sympathizer." They believe that gender is a "silly human construct" and that they are above such things. When it comes to Trainee, Misroch was at first apathetic towards her: during a fire, when Trainee reassures them that she's alright, they quickly retort that they didn't care and instead panicked over the state of their food counter. However, they do show that they have the capacity to warm up to humans, as was the case with Fat Chance, and later, Trainee.

## History

Until stationed on Earth at an unknown point, Misroch was a line cook in Hell's Kitchen cooking for Satan. They then became employed at a Michelin star restaurant in New York, until meeting Hornblas, Asmoraius, and Belzagor in the 80s or 90s.

## Relationships

### Hornblas

Misroch seems to have a one-sided contentious relationship with Hornblas. They are jealous of his friendliness and charm, and constantly compare themself to him. However, they also live together and are both part of Mall Rat, Misroch having moved across the country to be with their friend.

### Belzagor

Along with the other members, they live together and both play in Mall Rat. Belzagor frequently visits Wiener World despite never ordering anything, and the two often spend time together in the staff parking lot.

During episode 8, Misroch tells Belzagor they consider her their best friend.

### Asmoraius

The two live and play in Mall Rat together, along with Hornblas and Bezegor. Their relationship seems very fragile, with several lines of dialogue hinting the two used to be a couple (e.g. episode 4's "**MISROCH**: Don’t call me darling. **ASMORAIUS**: You used to love it when I called you darling."). There is a lot of unresolved tension between the two, which is touched on during the bus ride in episode 8.

## Trivia

* Misroch's name could be a reference to the demon Nisroch.
	+ Nisroch was originally an Assyrian god of agriculture. In Abrahamic religion, he's the head of cuisine for the princes of the Underworld.
* Seeing that Misroch automatically gets Sin Coins whenever they feed a human a wiener made from human meat, it's implied that Wiener World hasn't had many sales. However, Misroch's quota hasn't yet been stated in the show.
* They often stop by the morgue to procure bodies for the food at Wiener Hut. It's unclear if they steal the bodies or if someone is willingly passing them along.
	+ Rather than being caught dead with a rat in their food court kitchen, Misroch decided to fry the rat into a wiener.
* They have a copy of *Beelzebub's Quick Guide to Sinning: Pocket Edition.*
* In February 2023, Elliot Gindi was accused of sexual misconduct and sexual misconduct with minors. He has since admitted to some of these accusations. Following these events, the *Brimstone Valley Mall* official Twitter page announced that Gindi will not be returning to voice Misroch in Season 2. In April 2023, the Twitter page introduced Bex Taylor-Klaus as Misroch’s voice actor for Season 2.
