Lilith

Fanart by Filipe Laurentino

**Lilith, the First Woman**, is a character in the book *A Batalha do Apocalipse*. She was Adam's first wife and the first woman to become aware of herself and the world around her. Once one of the residents of the Garden of Eden, the woman was expelled by Metatron and ended up crossing paths with the Dark Archangel, becoming an important figure within Sheol.

## History

### Taken to the Garden

Like her husband Adam, Lilith was one of the first humans to become aware of herself and the world around her. When this happened, Metatron took them from their tribe and decided to preserve the couple inside an oasis in the middle of the desert of Nod. While within the Garden of Eden, Lilith and Adam were immortal, but could not have children because their lands made them infertile, as Metatron believed that living in society corrupted humans.

As time passed, Lilith and Adam began to disagree, especially over sexual matters. Taking Adam's side, Metatron expelled Lilith from the Garden and replaced her with another woman, Eve. Out of Eden, she settled on the shores of the Red Sea and, free from infertility, she began to copulate with every man she saw in front of her.

### Mother of Lilim and Succubus and Incubus

Thanks to Lilith's mystical nature, her children possessed strange powers and characteristics, of a nefarious nature. They became known as Lilim and, even before Lucifer's fall, were treated as earthly demons. When the Dark Archangel established his realm in Sheol, he proposed a deal to the lilim: in exchange for lands and prestige in Hell, they would become the Morning Star's elite guard, and no demon would attempt to attack him because of the power of Lilith's offspring.

Along with her descendants, Lilith went to live in Sheol and became the leader of the hellish order of Incubus and Succubus, demons who feed on carnal pleasures. For millennia, Lilith had continually fornicated with Lucifer, serving as one of his concubines, but felt nothing for him other than sexual desire. Eventually, she had a daughter with him named Inanna, who would soon become leader of the lilim.

### Finding Love

In the 13th century AD, Lucifer sent Lilith to receive Ablon in Gerython, the Third Circle of Hell, and bring him to the presence of the Morning Star in Caina, the Sixth Circle. Using her seduction skills, she tried to get the Renegade to take her as her lover, but Ablon didn't get carried away by Lilith's manipulations, telling her about the meaning of true love. Taken by the general's words, Lilith decided to help him escape Hell and betray Lucifer, as he was never able to give her true love.

In 1453 AC, Lilith and Orion went to Dungeons of Zandrak in the Fifth Circle to free Ablon. In order for the Silver Star to release the angel, Lilith seduced and had sex with Balor, the Baal tasked with torturing Ablon for 200 years. Upon discovering Lilith's involvement in the Renegade's escape, Lucifer summoned her and asked her to explain herself, which she did by insulting the Dark Archangel and saying that Ablon gave her what he was never able to grant. Enraged at Lilith's betrayal and rejection, Lucifer ordered Apollyon to kill her by decapitating her with his sword.

## Appearance

Lilith was a very beautiful woman, with long red hair, blue eyes and a perfect silhouette, with a seductive expression. Upon becoming a resident of Hell, she gained a pointy tail similar to those of demons.

## Personality

The succubus walked naked through Hell and gave off pheromones that incited other males to fornicate, further underscoring her highly sexual nature. Despite this, Lilith sided with Ablon and decided to help him escape Sheol, showing a more affectionate side of her person.

## Powers & Skills

* **Immortality:** Lilith is recognized in many religions and beliefs as the first woman, having existed since the beginning of the Seventh Day of Creation, 200,000 years ago. She became immortal after she drank from the waters of Eden, just like her ex-husband.
* **Power Donation:** Through her bloodline, Lilith passed some of her mystical nature to her descendants, the Lilim. Most of them contain powers such as flight or immortality, like Inanna, who has been alive since 35,000 BC.

## Relationships

### Adam

Lilith and Adam were married and were taken to the Garden of Eden by Metatron in order to preserve them. However, the two began to argue over sexual positions and, taking Adam's side, the First Angel expelled Lilith from the Garden.

### Lucifer

After leaving the Garden, Lilith walked the world until she met Lucifer, who at the time was still in the Seven Heavens, and the two soon connected. After the Dark Archangel was banished to Sheol, he took Lilith along with him, turning her into a demon and promoting her to the leader of the Incubus and Succubus order.

### Ablon

Lilith met Ablon in the Fields of Death, in the Fifth Circle of Hell. Upon bringing the angel into Lucifer's presence, the two had a brief conversation about true love, which ended up affecting Lilith. After the conversation, she worked together with Orion to free the renegade.

## Trivia

* Lilith is a well-known character from Abrahamic mythologies. It is said that she was the first wife of Adam before Eve, thus being the first woman, but that she was expelled from Eden by God for several reasons. In popular culture, she is treated as a demon working alongside Lucifer.
	+ Many believe that Lilith could be the serpent that deceived Adam and Eve, as a form of revenge for her banishment.
* The succubus had in her possession a beast in the form of a pterodactyl with a body made of cooled lava that she used it to move around Hell.
	+ This beast was probably a remnant of the Apaks, the last pterodactyls still alive before the Flood, used by the Enochians as a mount.
