**Belphegor** is the Emperor of Hell who governs over the deadly sin of [Sloth] and the grand governor of the hellish circle of Acedia within the Underworld. He is the former leader of the Extra Demons and the progenitor of the Belphegor Clan.

## Overview

**Belphegor** (Hebrew: בַּעַל-פְּעוֹר) is the demon lord of Sloth, one of the 7 Deadly Sins and a member of the Seven Princes of Hell. Belphegor gives people ideas for inventions that will make them rich and thus greedy and selfish. He was known as a phallic deity, associated with sex, orgies, and all forms of debauchery in general.

His most common forms are polarized in their appearances. Sometimes Belphegor is portrayed as a beautiful woman, naked in all her glory, to seduce those who would fall for his wiles, but other times Belphegor is portrayed as a monstrous male demon with leathery flesh, huge horns, long sharp teeth and fingernails and a gaping mouth.

Belphegor is invoked by mortals who wish to find fame and wealth through invention, often with as little effort as possible. These wishes, as with almost any demonic invocation, are doomed to fail, because Belphegor’s true mission is to draw the lazy into the sin of Sloth. Through the failure of whatever Belphegor provided to the invoker, he draws them into procrastination and idle dreaming rather than producing, thus damning them.

As one of the fallen angels, Belphegor was originally a member of the order of Principalities, and after his fall he became a demonic counterpart to one of the ten Sephiroth that oversee the Tree of Life. As a demon, he is described in Kabbalistic writings as the "disputer," an enemy of the sixth Sephiroth "beauty." When summoned, he can grant riches, the power of discovery and ingenious invention. His role as a demon was to sow discord among men and seduce them to evil through the apportionment of wealth.

Belphegor is a lieutenant from Hell, who had been dispatched to Earth on many missions by the devil. Some rabbis claim that he must be worshipped on a toilet, with offerings being the residue of one's digestion.

Belphegor was the patron of the Moab, a kingdom known to have been along the shore of the Dead Sea, on the eastern side, in what is now Jordan. According to De Plancy's *Dictionnaire Infernal*, he was Hell's ambassador to France. Consequently, his adversary is St. Mary Magdalene, one of the patron saints of France.

His name is a corruption of Baal-Peor, the name for the god of the Moabites.

## Appearance

Belphegor takes the form of a human young man in his late teens - early 20s. He has extremely pale and thin skin, with black veins running beneath, He has shoulder-length blue hair with his front bangs reaching his red-colored eyes. His eyes have big, dark bags under them and are always half-lidded and express a feeling of boredom.

He mostly wears a denim jacket with a fur-trimmed hood almost always pulled over his head and is often buttoned open, with either a simple black or white shirt hiding under it. The hem of his jacket splits into many tattered threads, starting short at the front but growing in length as they reach his back. His white pants are skin-tight and held up with a red belt, which is rarely seen. He also wears long, black boots that almost reach his knees.

When posing as a French nobleman, he appeared as a handsome man in his late 30s with wavy shoulder-length blond hair and soft brown eyes. He also takes the form of a small black cat with red eyes and leather collar around its neck during his occasional trips to Earth.

As a demon, he has a total of four large wings growing from his lower back, each with a wingspan of roughly 4-meters in length. His wings are formed from countless tendrils of darkness and somewhat resemble that of a dragon in appearance, with countless weeping eyes scattered across them. And like most demons, his wings only reveal themselves on his shadows as astral projection.
