Diablo

The Demonic Force of Misuse (Art from the Codex Gigas)

**Diablo** is an incredibly powerful Demon who works directly for Satan. While he became a mere footnote in the history of Hell, he used to be the true ruler of the realm, both being created by the demonic goddess Ayin.

## Overview

Diablo is a demonic force of misuse and embezzlement, alongside the ruler of Hell before Lucifer. Most things, such as hunger and sexual promiscuity, aren't evil on their own. However, through the corruption that Diablo brings to these concepts, they could potentially grow to be something cruel and hurtful. Keep in mind that this isn't hurtful, nor does this mean that the slippery slope fallacy is any less of a fallacy. This only happens through the power of a primordial demon.

He is often compared to other demons who use "The Devil" title like the aforementioned Satan, along with Lucifer, Yaldabaoth, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles, and Belial.

## Appearance

Diablo is an incredibly ugly creature, even by the standards of demons. He has a large round head with two red horns. He has a humanoid body with green skin often while wearing a cloth over his crotch. He can also appear with bat-like wings and/or an extra face on his stomach or gluteus maximus.

## History

### Birth and Early Life

Diablo was one of the first demons created by Ayin to fight God. They eventually lost to God, Diablo fell into Hell and became the ruler of the realm as a consequence.

### Threat to the throne

After the War in Heaven, Lucifer was locked up in a cage, during this moment Diablo was terrified, terrified that Lucifer would steal his place upon Hell's throne. Diablo tried to make preparations but every being who would help him were on the side of Lucifer.

When the Fallen Angels eventually freed Lucifer, Diablo silently and peacefully handed over the throne to Lucifer. To this day he wishes to have his throne back, but knows that he is no where near as powerful as Lucifer is.

### Tempting Saint Wolfgang

Diablo has also attempted to make Hell on Earth by trying to convince Saint Wolfgang to do wrong in His image. The Saint however ignored the demons request, as he was able to look past the Devil's obvious lie. Saint Wolfgang then forced Diablo to help him and his fellow Saints build a church.

### Killing a Pope

While Pope Sylvester II was reading a Mass in Rome, Diablo appeared to Sylvester II and attempted to kill him. Diablo was able to mutilate the pope and gouge out his eyes before Sylvester II managed to cut off the demons hand in tongue, forcing him to return to Hell.

## Myths and Legends

Diablo is a figure based on the idea of Satan found in the artwork of medieval England. His name is an alias used for Satan, "diabolos" meaning "slanderer", and his appearance comes from the one of the first pieces of artwork created of Satan from the *Codex Gigas*.

In a sense, Diablo on the *GaD wiki* is another version of the Devil, similar to Lucifer or Satan. On the *GaD wiki*, Lucifer is the version of the Devil who is prideful and sympathetic, Satan is the version of the Devil who is wrathful and pure evil, and Diablo is the ugly version of the Devil depicted in medieval artwork.

## Trivia

* God has created a being in response to Diablo called Aevum.
	+ Despite this, Diablo seems indifferent to his so called "rip off".
