Demons

*"Archdemons are the vilest fiends to ever crawl out of that hellish pits. They are the leaders of Hell and the most ancient and powerful demons in existence, each one with immense power and authority. I don't know what Father was thinking when He let them remain free, claiming that there's a potential for good inside of them. If I can oppose him, I would have imprisoned them as soon as I got the chance. But sadly I can't."*
―Ariel about the Archdemons
**Archdemons** are high-ranking demons, known for being the oldest and strongest generation of demons in all of Hell as well as the only demons who could oppose the True Archangels. They represented the highest authority in all of Hell. Like how True Archangels lead choirs of angels and embody heavenly virtues, Archdemons lead the demonic hosts and embody deadly sins.

The Archdemons are divided in several groups: Princes of Hell, Six Great Officers, Seven Electors of Hell, Kings of Direction, Four Infernal Kings of Islam, Knights of Hell, Leaders of the Major Sectors of Hell, and the Grand Succubi.

Following the Apocalypse, all of the Archdemons, except one, are imprisoned in Hell.

## Overview

There is controversy regarding which demons should be Archdemons. Throughout the ages, some have been demoted, others promoted, and a few were completely forgotten. Archdemons are said to have once been angels before being cast out of Heaven. They lead the Demonic Hosts and embody different types of sin.

While most scholars have finally reached an agreement about how to rank angels, the same cannot be same for the Archdemons. This is mainly because the definition of Archdemons and what makes a demon one have varied greatly over time.

Like how the True Archangels are associated with the Seven Heavenly Virtues, Archdemons are associated with the Seven Deadly Sins.

## Description

Many pagan gods were identified as dangerous demons in order to prevent Jews from worshipping them. Baal was confused with both Bael and Beelzebub while Astarte was said to be the Archdemon Astaroth. When the Middle Ages arrived, pagan gods were hardly ever worshipped, so their similarities to demons no longer mattered. As time passed, some were forgotten while others were created, most of them having something to do with Satan and the Antichrist.

Demons are dubbed as Archdemons if they retained their high status before they fell or if they are promoted to one by another Archdemon. They are often classified as the Princes of Hell but their rank varies from Archdemon to Archdemon. To put it simply, Archdemons are high-ranking demons who command the demonic legions. The highest-ranking Archdemons are the Princes of Hell.
