Dukes of Hell

The Dukes of Hell, also known as the Seven Kings of Hell, are the highest authority in Hell even above the Goetia and any other demon and fallen angel. Their power is only second to The Devil, currently Lucifer Morningstar.

## History

### The Birth of the Dukes of Samael

As Samael Fell he found himself in an already built but vacant Hell, he took over from Abaddon and became the Devil, ruler of the realm he called "Samatareral". Here he sat for many hundreds of years, until a civil war broke out and caused a massive rift between the denizens of "Samatareral". To lessen this, Samael took the most powerful (MALE) demons from each Circle and devised a group known as the Seven Princes of The Infernal. The group would govern the Infernal plane as a collective, with Samael as the grand and all powerful ruler. The Dukes were naïve, thinking this plan genius.

### The Morningstar's Fall

When Lucifer fell, Samael feared for his life. Knowing the atrocities he had committed. Lucifer stormed the palace of Samael and effortlessly defeated the Dukes in place. He did not kill any, showing further the distance between their levels. He became the Devil, Ruler of the realm he would call, and has now come to be known, as Hell. Lucifer formed a system known as the The Infernal Triumvirate. Put in place to restrict absolute power. Lucifer would be the Fallen third, Beelzebub would be the Khaos third and Baphomet. The Dukes would file in, joining from various places, and other titles. Many, Fallen angels themselves.

This persisted until Lucifer took a break from his duties as a Duke. His first break was when he travelled to the Hyperboreans to obtain a sliver of Vril. He obtained it and returned, then took another break when Baphomet took his place in the Dukes. Lucifer would come back and forth between Hell and the realm of the mortals in order to watch the tower of Babel being built and speak to the king. Lucifer also watched the Great flood caused by Michael. Hell would remain stable until Michael locked Heaven.

### Michael is a fucking idiot

Michael shuts off Heaven from all other realms and in retaliation, Lucifer decides to renovate Hell. Making the infernal domain somewhere anyone could live. In this renovation, the system of ruling was also changed. Showing himself to be capable of ruling the entire Realm, Lucifer was finally, officially, given the title of The Devil.

## The Current Dukes

* Mammon
* Satanus
* Baphomet

* Previously Abaddon, the Daughter of Mephistopheles and previously the Devil after his Father. That makes Asmodeus a Khaos god. He is the Duke of the Lust Ring. Asmodeus is incredibly flirty with all beings, whether they be gendered or not. He is very subservient to Lord Lucifer.

- Previously Beelzebel, the Son of Bael. Beelzebub is a Elohim above Angels. He is the Duke of the Gluttony Ring. Beelzebub is probably the only Duke that does not have a distain for human life. Beelzebub simply "vibes". Beelzebub was part of the Infernal Triumvirate, being the "Khaos" side of the 3.

- A Lilim but not a direct child of Lilith and Samael. He rose the ranks due to his intelligence and wisdom. He is the Duke of the Greed Ring. Mammon is a very secluded Duke. Keeping to himself alot of the time. He does not come out often, liking to stay with "himself, or higher society". He is VERY rarely seen in Dis.

- Previously Satanael, a Seraphim that fell with Lucifer in War on Heaven. He is the Duke of the Anger Ring. Contrary to his title, name and reputation, Satan is an incredibly caring man. He looks out for all beings, whether they be human or otherwise. He pushes the other Dukes and motivates the rest of the Infernal domain.

- A first generation Lilim, a direct child of Lilith and Samael. Baphomet rose in power fast after escaping into Earth during the dawn of man and returning to take Lucifer's offer of Duke. She is the Duke of the Heresy Ring. Baphomet respects Lucifer more then anything. She continuously will go to Lucifer for advice. Baphomet was part of the Infernal Triumvirate, being the "Lilim" side of the 3.

- A child of the Terror, Endless, asked by Yahweh to create 3 beings known as The Great Beasts. Leviathan almost immediately abrogated from his position and joined Lucifer in Hell. They became fast friends. He is the Duke of the Violence Ring. Leviathan, must like Mammon likes to keep to himself, but instead, enjoys walking through Hell or even Earth unimpeded. He rarely, if ever stays in his Circle.

- Previously Belphiel a former Throne, Belphegor fell with Lucifer and assisted attacking the Archangels themselves. For his service, he was given the title of Duke. He is the Duke of the Fraud Ring.
