Blasphemous Seven

## The Blasphemous Seven

The **Blasphemous Seven**, also known as the **Seven Sinners**, are a group of powerful Demon Lords that bear the rank **General of Vice**, the second highest rank among Inferno's Unholy Hierarchy. They're recruited by the Boogeyman himself, through certain deals or terms (although most just seemed to agree to the team's purpose, really), somewhat working in a way to the typical "deal with the devil" concept.

Despite their relatively important role and high rank among their realm, they don't really work as all one unit and mostly do progress on their own personal objectivesif it depends on them despite most of them actively agreeing to become members. Since the team never really seems to have an established leader per say (the Ringmaster did initially have this role and in fact was originally created so that the current team could have a proper lead, but he ended up changing his position multiple times), it can be difficult for them to properly organize get to work on a certain occasions. As mentioned above, the leader is sometimes Ringmaster (the team's most important physical powerhouse) or theScream (most intelligent member and main tactician of the team).

At rare occasions even Vanity (a decent powerhouse, who usually works as the right hand to either leader) can take the team's lead aswell. She in fact got to be the leader to the original version of the team once their original one (Entertainer, the first Sin) went insane, and has been wanting to take the position again. It's unknown if the original team was consistent when it came to their lead.

## Origin

After being imprisoned, Baphomet came to realize his own narcissism was what essentially broke his invasion attempt, so he decided to remove said narcissism, along with all of his other emotions (Mankind's worst thoughts and deeds).

Through this process, Baphomet successfully separated his narcissism, aswell as multiple other emotions. Due to being made of malevolent human knowledge, he also realized many of his emotions where what mankind considered as sins in religious beliefs. Following said beliefs, he specifically separated all the emotions that fit as how the Deadly sins were described as in the following order: Vanity, Envy, Despair, Violence, Gluttony, Avarice and Lust.

He decided to specifically separate his own Despair and Envy from himself as a sort of "experiment", which consisted of leaving both away from him to observe if they would be able to ultimately develop on their own whatsoever.

## Unholy Hierarchy

Among Inferno's Unholy Hierarchy, they all possess the rank of **General of Vice**, considered the second highest rank within the realm as a whole, only granted to important demons representing it's very ideals, more well known as the Deadly Sins. Although the team's purposes go overall much further than that and the rank usually just works as a sort of title, being usually called "Baphomet's Hand" due to how they're meant to do what Baphomet would've done in Earth, invading it and "cleaning" it to let Inferno loose on the planet, so that the realm could finally have a fully physical form. Considering they basically exist because he's been sealed though, they also have to bring him to Earth aswell.

They also have smaller ranks in the team itself to rank which member is more/less effective in general overall, both when it comes to planning, to directly acting either in their realm or Earth, and obviously how physically powerful they are.

## Known Members

* Ringmaster - The original lead of the current Seven, who has actually resigned from and returned to the position many times. He overall serves as the team and possibly even the realm's living weapon at the moment aswell as being actually decent when it comes to planning, being a last resort member who's perfect to directly ravage Earth once needed. Represents the most important (and worst, though highest in Inferno) Sin currently, Pride.

* Entertainer  - Accidentally insane and unstable member who's left the team twice for extended periods of time even, but usually does atleast something whenever he's actively in, and can yet be essential in direct plans due to his unpredictable physical power and complete lack of remorse or (almost) restraint, making him a sort of semi inactive hit member to the team. He actually represents a historical Sin, Despair (usually considered the worst Sin too, although in a somewhat different way from the one mentioned above.)

* Goatman  - A cold sort of infernal mad scientist and obsessive murderer, who has a really unstable easy trigger temper, but with destructive abilities and generally decent knowledge, which can make him useful to both direct attacks on Earth to simply planning. Has temporarily left the team once due to barely having any control over his abilities, then much later due to his temper issues, although both were for a short while. As probably obvious by now, he represents the Sin of Wrath.

* Puppet Conqueror  - Probably the most problematic member of the team alongside the aforementioned Entertainer, who has massive, almost even unstable envy issues, which lead him to temporarily distance himself from the team for some hours, throw tantrums (which are nowhere near as bad as the Goatman's though). It's even stated he was removed from the previous Seven for a long time due to trying to brainwash someone to not be better than him in something he was good at, and isn't fond of new members. Though he's actually pretty intelligent and has really useful abilities, which make him necessary in the group at the end of the day. As obvious as the member mentioned above, he represents the Sin of Envy.

* The Scream - Main Tactician of the Seven, Commander of Hell's Acolytes and Overseer of the Pit of Sloth.

* Ragged Ann - Soul Hunter, Minor Commander, Minor Collector.

* Strikeout - Soul Collector, Adviser of the Seven, Overseer of the Factory of Avarice.

* Chompo - Superior to Cerberus, Brute of the Seven, Soul Hunter.

* Clown in the Wardrobe - Soul Hunter, Overseer of the Ruins of Lust.

Despite the group's name, it actually has nine members in total. This is due to the name being the popular way humans refer to them, who believe the Deadly Sins are only the traditional seven instead of the actual nine.

They all seem to share multiple qualities between themselves, such as fairly decent amounts of power and intelligence, and a relatively tall size in comparison to average humans and Acolytes.

As heavily suggested and hinted by multiple sources, each of the Generals represent one of the traditional Seven Deadly Sins, along with two Historical Sins.

* Ringmaster - Arrogance, Pride. (Superbia)

* Entertainer - Despair, Emptiness. (Cavum)

* The Goatman - Anger, Wrath. (Ira)

* Puppet Conqueror - Resentment, Envy. (Invidia)

* The Scream - Idleness, Sloth. (Otium)

* Ragged Ann - Vainglory, Vanity. (Irritum)

* Strikeout - Avarice, Greed. (Avaritia)

* Chompo - Excess, Gluttony. (Gula)

* Clown in the Wardrobe - Lechery, Lust. (Luxuria)
