### Description

Extremely powerful demons that serve as the lieutenants of Lucifer himself and also are the superiors to all lower demons.

### Family

Lucifer (Father/Creator)

> Greater Demons are members of the Original Fallen Angels that fell from Heaven with Lucifer himself. The first and highest-ranking choir of fallen angels. Greater Demons, sometimes called Archdemons, are the lieutenants of Hell's Army and are among the original fallen. They are the oldest demons in all of creation, the first generation. They have existed since... oh, since before the Atlantas sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

> Joshua, about the Greater Demons

**Greater Demons**, also known as **Demon Lords**, **Archdemons**, and **The Princes of Hell**, are an extremely powerful group of demons, known for being the oldest and strongest generation of demons in all of Hell. Originally angels, they became Fallen Angels that fell from Heaven and were cast into Hell with Lucifer himself. They were of such strength that while they could not kill angels with their own power, they could overpower them with ease. They instilled great panic in other demons, as almost all other demons were terrified of them.

Because they are described as the leaders of demonic hosts, just as archangels lead choirs of angels, the Greater Demons were originally generals of his demonic armies, but have since become separated from Hell, opting instead to hide out on Earth. The one known exceptions to this were Lilith, Alastair, Abaddon, Belial, Azazel, Astraroth, and Naberius, all of whom remained loyal to Lucifer until their deaths. After Lucifer left Hell, Dagon briefly tried to gain control over Hell from Satan. Following the deaths of Lilith, Azazel, Abaddon, Alastair, Belial, Naberius, Astorotah, Ramiel, Dagon, Mephistopheles, and Asmodeus, the Princes of Hell are now extinct. However, Asmodeus and Lilith were revived and currently are the only living Princes of Hell.

## History

### Creation

Originally angels of the Lord, the Greater Demons followed Lucifer in his rebellion against Heaven and God. However, when Lucifer was defeated, the Greater Demons were cast out of Heaven and into Hell with him. Since then, the Greater Demons have served under Lucifer, ruling over the demonic order.

## Characteristics

Greater Demons are terrifyingly powerful and rank the highest in the hierarchy of Hell, just under Lucifer himself. They inspire fear in their subordinates as all other demons seemed to be terrified of them. Being as powerful as they are, they were resistant to many demonic weaknesses and are even capable of holding their own against regular angels.
