Beleth

Siblings: The Powers

**Beleth** is a mighty and terrible king of Hell, who has eighty-five legions of demons under his command.

## Description

Beleth appears in the form of a cat-like demon, or simply a demon with the body of a man and the head of a cat. He is usually seen riding a pale horse, and all kinds of music is heard before him.

When appearing he looks very fierce to frighten the conjurer or to see if he is courageous. The conjurer must be brave, and holding a hazel wand in his hand must draw a triangle by striking towards the South, East, and upwards, then commanding Beleth into it by means of some conjurations.

If he does not obey, the conjurer must rehearse all threatens the conjurations said and then Beleth will obey and do all that he is commanded. But the conjurer must be respectful and do homage unto Beleth due to his rank, and hold a silver ring in the middle finger of the left hand against his face, as it is the use of hellish kings and princes before Amaymon.

Beleth gives all the love of men and women he is commanded until the conjurer is satisfied.

## History

### Fall from Grace

Beleth, like all the Goetial demons, was once an angel residing in Heaven who joined Lucifer's rebellion against God. After his fall from Heaven and the establishment of Hell, Beleth was elected as one of the many kings of the Hell and was known to be a mighty and terrible king in his own right.

Beleth was said to have first appeared sometime after the receding of the Great Flood. According to legend, Noah's son was the first in invoking him and the demon Gaap after the flood, and wrote a book on mathematics with his help.

### Terrible King

Beleth, alongside Sitri and Yomyael, formed an evil Trinity of demons, who reigned over parts of Europe and Asia, offering Faustian Bargains to everyone who asked. He also had aided the Asiatic people in battle "for as long as men had placed faith in the dark behind stars".

One of these famous bargains was Peter the Great of Russia, who summoned the three demons in order to defeat the Swedes in Great Northern War. In return Beleth and two other demons demanded three things: his future sons, his heart and his eternal soul. Beleth was also have said to have encountered Mephistopheles at one point and mocked the Germanic devil for having not been the one summoned by Peter the Great.

### Death

Beleth is also mentioned in the mystical prophecy "Anung Un Rama, Urush Un Rama". He is one of the many casualties in the civil war of Hell after Satan was killed by Hellboy, alongside other demons such as Astaroth, Orobas, Suriel, Uziel, Beelzebub, Behemoth and Leviathan. Beleth's corpse was seen being eaten by lesser demons, who mocked him and his former glory as a king while they were consuming his flesh.

## Quotes

*"Don't take our presence lightly. Haven't you read the tale with David, who took out the powerful Goliath with a mere stone? Yes, even we demons are updated on what's going on in the human world." - Beleth.*

## Powers and Abilities

**Fallen Transcendent Angel Physiology:** Beleth either is or can transform into a Fallen Transcendent Angel: a leader of a group of angels who rebelled against God and were cast into Hell. Strangely, Beleth not only keep their power but still have access to angelic powers as well as demonic ones even though Beleth is not a full-fledged demon. Furthermore, Beleth's angelic essence could be different than just plain angel like Transcendent Hybrid of possibly Transcendent Dragonborn (Angelic Dragon),Transcendent Cyborg (Angel-Machine), Transcendent Nephalem (Fallen Transcendent Angel/Ascended Transcendent Demon), Deity (Angelic Deity), Transcendent Nephilim (Fallen Transcendent Angel/Transcendent Human) , etc which in turn could push Beleth's potential and all other abilities far beyond normal transcendent angels.

**Gender Transformation:** Beleth can alter their own and/or another's person or creature's sex (the physiological aspect of gender) either permanently or temporarily, they may be able to combine genders to gain androgyny (also called hermaphroditism if referring to non-human or non-sapient creatures) or remove both for genderneutrality. The change is complete to the cellular level.

**Hell Lordship:** Beleth has authority and duty over Hell, the realm where damned souls go to suffer for eternity. Beleth gains control over a certain part of Hell where they command everything and everyone in the area and gain a lot of power whenever they are in Hell itself.

**Love Manipulation:** Beleth manipulate and can sense of all the aspects of love, of themselves, people, animals and other creatures, whether by increasing, decreasing, causing or otherwise channeling love, even manifesting the emotional energy to a physical level.

**Music Manipulation:** Beleth can manipulate and generate music, an art form who's medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture.

**Precognition:** Beleth can perceive the future through various means, which can be broadly separated into two categories: Supernatural and Analytical. Beleth can only see into the immediate future, enabling them to fight with near flawlessness or completely nullify surprise attacks. On the other hand, some can see into the far future, effectively being Seers that can foresee outcomes of major decisions or the triggers to catastrophes and the like.
