Four Great Satans

Defeating the God of the Bible, his Angels and the Fallen Angels, so that the Satans could become Kings of the World.
**New Satans**
Ensuring the peace in the Underworld in order for the Devils to flourish

The **Four Great Satans** (四大魔王, *Yondai Maō*) were the original rulers of the Underworld and leaders of the Devils. They were named Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan, and Asmodeus.

## **Summary**

At some point in the past, the four original Satans desiring world domination led the Devils against God and the Angels in Heaven as well as Azazel and the Fallen Angels in the Great War, the latter of whom retreated prior. The Four Great Satans eventually died in the Great War after more than half of the 72 Pillars as well as a majority of the armies of Devils that serve the High-Class Devil Clans of the 72 Pillars were wiped out.

After their deaths in the Great War, a group of the descendants of the Four Great Satans intended to carry on their legacy by gathering the strong supporters of the original Four Great Satans and finish what they started, the Great War to realize the world domination ambition of the Original Satans. Their intentions, however, were opposed by a certain group of Devils, the Anti-Satan Faction, who wanted to ensure the survival of the Devils as a species, thus disapproving of the continuation of the Great War.

This dissension eventually caused a civil war to break out between the Devils which ultimately lead to the defeat of the Original Satans' descendants. Following the defeat of the descendants who were forced to retreat to the back part of the Underworld, their names became titles for the new rulers of the Devils while the Original Satans became known as the Old Satans.

The Satan positions where then given to Sirzechs Lucifer (of the Gremory Clan), Serafall Leviathan (of the Sitri Clan), Ajuka Beelzebub (of the Astaroth Clan), and Falbium Asmodeus (of the Glasya-Labolas Clan). Four Devils who were born with immense power, equivalent or superior to the original four and were chosen for the Satans' positions despite not carrying the blood of the original Satans.

Three of the descendants of the original Satans – Katerea Leviathan, Shalba Beelzebub, and Creuserey Asmodeus – have allied with the Khaos Brigade's Old Satan Faction, while Vali Lucifer formed his own team in the Khaos Brigade.

In Volume 3, Rizevim Livan Lucifer was mentioned by Sora Ōtsutsuki.

In Volume 4, Ingvild Leviathan was mentioned by Sora when sending Sasuke and the others back home.

The last known remaining descendant of the Four Great Satans, Rizevim Livan Lucifer, the son of the original Lucifer and Vali's grandfather, eventually became leader of the new Khaos Brigade, Qlippoth before being killed by Fafnir.

In Volume 5, it is revealed that the soul of the Original Lucifer was fused with Arata's True Self.

As of Volume 10, Vali and Ingvild the only survivors among the known descendants of the original Satans, with the remainders being killed in battle.

## **Trivia**

* In Christian tradition, Satan is the chief demon of one of the seven deadly sins known as Wrath. Also, each of the Four Great Satans is the chief demon of each one of the seven deadly sins:
	+ Lucifer is the chief demon of Pride;
	+ Leviathan is the chief demon of Envy;
	+ Beelzebub is the chief demon of Gluttony;
	+ Asmodeus is the chief demon of Lust.
* Azazel stated the reason why more than half of the 72 Pillars went extinct in the Great War is due to the ideas and ambitions of the Original Satans which is what Creuserey mentioned in Volume 6 while declaring the Original Satan descendants' intention to become "Kings of the World" while annihilating all Angels and Fallen Angels.
* All four of the second-generation Satans have legendary creatures in their peerage.
* The second-generation Four Great Satans are **not** allowed to have a harem, a privilege/luxury they had to give up upon joining.
* The surname of the current Four Great Satans will not be inherited by their offspring and that surname is more like those of managerial titles as shown in Sirzechs and his son Millicas' case.
* The current Satan government is split into 4 groups, and each group is maintained by faction members of each Satan. The factions with most authority within the four groups is Sirzechs Lucifer's faction and Ajuka Beelzebub's faction. Each faction is cooperating now to maintain the current government, but in simpler matters they are against each other such as the Lucifer faction and Beelzebub faction's different views on technology organization.
* Millicas Gremory has a faction of political supporters who are supporting him as a future Satan candidate due to being the son of the strongest Satan: Sirzechs Lucifer and the Strongest Queen: Grayfia Lucifuge.
* It is stated that the members of the Old Satan Lucifer and the New Satan Lucifer (Sirzechs Lucifer's) faction are slowly coming together to boost the political influence of the Two Heavenly Dragons (Vali Lucifer and Issei Hyoudou) and bring them into their factions, with the possibility of the combined faction's political influence exceeding that of the Great King Faction.
	+ Vali Lucifer is being supported by the Old Satan Lucifer faction due to his heritage as the descendant of the original Lucifer.
	+ Issei Hyoudou is being supported by the New Satan Lucifer faction due to the fact that he is Sirzechs Lucifer's future brother-in-law.
* It is stated that Ingvild Leviathan has the support of both the Old Satan Leviathan faction (due to her heritage as the descendant of the original Leviathan) and the New Satan Leviathan faction.
