History Characters / SoliumInfernum

* FauxAffablyEvil: With the exception of [[BrutalHonesty Beelzebub]] and [[AtLeastIAdmitIt Lilith]], every single Archfiend takes turns pretending to be polite to each other while actively plotting to separate each other's heads from their shoulders.

* KeystoneArmy: The death of an Archfiend will instantly disband their entire faction [[DecapitatedArmy down to every individual legion]].
* LackOfEmpathy: Often used to demonstrate just how evil they all are, that same lack of empathy can also explain why two Archfiends who are constantly pursuing vendettas against each other can just as easily make a truce out of the blue. [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror In Hell, there's just no time for emotions.]]

!!!The Dragon Knight
-->''"The crashing din of metal screams is music to Astaroth's ears; he lusts for bloody conquest, the chaos of battle, to destroy the weak, for his enemies to die upon his will alone."''

!!!Grand Usurer
-->''"No desire could be greater for riches than Mammon's, he who made a slave of greed, his invention with sinister bidding - debt and compounding interest as a conquering sword and shield."''

!!!The Scorned
-->''"Her sovereignty stolen, Lilith, rebel of Eden, iconoclast and first woman, spends the prison of eternity refining her black crafts and seething bitterness to a singular, wicked point."''

!!!Monarch of the Grave
-->''"An ancient evil, damned! with such hatred of life, Murmur, a monarch of the grave, foul necromancer, despises the living and would smother it all with his vast armies of the dead."''

* OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: Murmur is explicitly gender neutral at all times except for the quote above, which is likely just a mistake.

!!!Fairest of the Fallen
-->''"Favour'd of heaven, first among His Dark Majesty's favourites, a shining star fallen low yet burning still with embers, Andromalius' belief that they are the equal of the most high."''

!!!Prince of Lies
-->''"A deceiver of the first order and a practicing hypocrite, Belial plays a labyrinthine game of lies, of plans within plans, of calculated slander, and duplicitous praise."''

!!!The Thrice Veiled
-->''"From a yawning flower of the infernal garden born, Erzsebet, scarlet and insatiable, sensed lust as a thorn applied to flesh, that a heart quickened promotes a yield of blood."''

!!!Lord of the Flies
-->''"Once one of the greatest celestials, now a distilled horror; a vile grinning maw consumed by evil hunger, with a ceaseless appetite."''

-->''"We, who chose never to yield or submit, strived to make a Heaven of Hell...''"

-->''"Better to rule in Hell, than serve in Heaven!"''
The exalted one, the dark majesty, the greatest of all angels. He has ruled over hell for thousands of years...until very recently.

* Narcissist: We're running out of ways to describe just how egotistical they are. Despite all that, they never steep down to SmugSnake levels, given that they're just as dangerous as any other Archfiend.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Mammon is indeed a [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk]], but his appearance suggests that [[VisualPun his heart has been ripped out]] and [[MadeOGold literally replaced with molten gold]]. Doubles as [[CulturalCrossReference]] for east-Asian societies which use gold to repair and fill in broken items, both to restore functionality as well as to highlight the damage as part of the item's history: Mammon, on the inside, is just so evil that he's completely broken, to the point where ''everything'' [[MadeOfEvil needs to be repaired]].
* LovesOnlyGold: Though his greed in general is boundless, Mammon was [[GoldFever: initially driven to sin through his fascination with the gold pavement of Heaven]].

* BFS: Wields a sword almost as big as his entire body. Erzsebet goes out of her way to make a [[PhallicWeapon rather suggestive]] compliment towards it.

* Jerkass: Unlike the Archfiends who at least all have motives for wanting to claim the Infernal Throne, the Conclave exclusively consists of lesser demons who have no desire other than to be as evil as possible.

* GratuitousLatin: None of the Archfiends speak any language other than what the long-dead Roman Empire used.

* DragonsAreDemonic: As the Dragon Knight, Astaroth is definitely the most traditionally 'demonic' of all the Archfiends in regards to appearance.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Mammon's entire personality and sole gimmick is that he treats everything from the abuse of slave labor to the warring of hellish armies as a business transaction.
* {{Greed}}: Mammon is more than just greedy: he's more or less the physical embodiment of the very concept.

* BirdPeople: In line with her curse, Lilith appears as a strange cross between a human woman, a raven, and an owl.

* ThisCannotBe: Upon theorizing that Lucifer's absence could possibly be because he was redeemed and returned to God's side, Murmur quickly dismisses the possibility with repeated denial and desperate panic.

* AmbiguousGender: Fitting given that their name literally starts with 'Andro,' they exclusively go by gender-neutral pronouns and are quite beautiful by both male and female standards. They even go so far as to take the gender-neutral titles of 'Baronex,' 'Marquix,' 'Duchex,' and 'Princex.'

* BlingOfWar: Their personal legion, the Chosen of Andromalius, are decked out in silver and gold 'at great cost' in a vain effort to relive their [[GloryDays]] as angels.
* Cincinnatus: Unlike every other Archfiend, Andromalius is far too loyal to Lucifer to take his place forever and intends to give him his throne back when he returns. Of course, the [[RegentForLife likelihood of that ever happening is debatable]]...
* DivinelyAppearingDemons: Despite being surrounded by ghouls, eldritch horrors, and other disgustingly ugly demonic creatures, Andromalius appears as a beautiful angel. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] on the basis that they actively chose to maintain their angelic appearance when they fall instead of adopting a more demonic one.

* AllAccordingToPlan: More than any other character, Belial is predisposed to becoming either the PuppetKing Kingmaker or the [[TheManBehindTheMan Power Behind the Throne]], thus snatching victory from the jaws of defeat at the last moment.

* PhallicWeapon: Erzsebet makes a fairly obvious innuendo in regards to Astaroth's sword.

* LegalizedEvil: Not just legalized but mandatory, the Conclave actively punishes virtuous behavior while rewarding acts of sin (so long as such acts do not threaten their own power).

* DivinelyAppearingDemons: In his sole in-game appearance, Lucifer is clearly in his pre-fall Angel form.

* BenevolentAbomination: From the perspective of demons, the Tyrant's harassing of them is a CosmicHorrorStory, as He is utterly unable to be stopped in His punishments of them and His angels are [[ImplacableMan only slightly less invulnerable]]. From the perspective of ''everyone else'', it's proof this DarkFantasy world is LovecraftLite ''at worst'', as said harassments generally focus around [[DeliveranceFromDamnation freeing souls from demonic abuse]] and punishing the Archfiends for their general cruelty.
* DivinePunishment: Through the 'Wrath of the Tyrant' event, said Tyrant will immediately lower all Archfiend's rank by one for no other reason than because he can. He can also send a divine angel to slaughter Hell's armies with ease.

* IronicNickname: Not intentional on the part of the demons, but the Tyrant of Heaven is [[GodIsGood a benevolent figure to anyone but demons, who actively betrayed Him for selfish reasons]]. This is heavily implied to be [[NeverMyFault saying more about the Archfiends then the Tyrant]].

* SealedGoodInACan: Heavily implied to be sealed in Hell, albeit poorly enough for the Tyrant to direct angels to make demons miserable.

Representing the deadly sin of {{Gluttony}}, {{Beelzebub}} once belonged to a race of alien celestials called Voxuridiis, before falling from them in a similar manner as to how Lucifer fell from Heaven, thus why the two are often mistaken for each other by outsiders. Her power only grows with each enemy slain as she feeds off of their souls to further her own strength, promoting an aggressive game of conquest.

* AllAccordingToPlan: More than any other character, Belial is predisposed to becoming either the {PuppetKing Kingmaker or the [[TheManBehindTheMan Power Behind the Throne]], thus snatching victory from the jaws of defeat at the last moment.

Representing the deadly sin of {{Lust}}, Erzsebet shares a name with and is more or less a [[NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed No Historical Figures Were Harmed]] expy of [[ElizabethBathory Elizabeth Báthory]]. She has unparalleled access to the entire map via seducing her enemies into giving her open borders, allowing her legions to move and conquer without restriction.

* AllAccordingToPlan: More than any other character, Belial is predisposed to becoming either the {{PuppetKing Kingmaker}} or the [[TheManBehindTheMan Power Behind the Throne]], thus snatching victory from the jaws of defeat at the last moment.

* CompleteMonster: The game makes it very clear that damned souls are more than capable of being redeemed to Heaven. This means that every Archfiend is actively choosing to remain in Hell, which tells you everything you need to know about them.

* GlowingEyes: Besides Mammon who has [[EmptyEyes]] and Murmur who has a [[OneWayVisor]], each Archfiend’s eyes serve as their own light source, though some are brighter than others. Given that they’re all already dead and in hell, this doubles as [[GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath]], and triples as [[GlowingEyesOfDoom]] given the chaos they inflict upon each other.

Representing the deadly sin of Wrath, Astaroth has cemented his reputation as Hell’s great conqueror through his centuries of experience in waging bloody war. He is recommended for new players due to his extremely simple playstyle: Using his legions to kill everything.

Representing the deadly sin of Greed, Mammon’s sole desire is the acquisition of material wealth, ironically, at any cost. His playstyle consists of quietly getting rich while the other Archfiends kill each other, profiting off of their infighting through manipulation and economics.

* {{Necromancer}}: Murmur's unique ability allows him raise a legion of the dead from the void anywhere in his territory. Especially notable given that said legions have already been killed once to go to Hell, then killed again to be banished to the abyss.

Representing the deadly sin of Pride, Andromalius claims to be Lucifer’s lover and thus the natural successor to his throne. They specialize in aggravating everyone around them and then hiding behind their praetors, earning prestige by making their victories into their own.

* {{Pride}}: Andromalius' primary trait, they believe themselves to be above even God himself in splendor.

Representing the deadly sin of Sloth, Belial has never worked an honest day in his life, instead preferring to manipulate others into doing his dirty work for him. His playstyle is that of a circling vulture, tricking his enemies into killing each other then picking up the ensuing scraps.

* AllAccordingToPlan: More than any other character, Belial is predisposed to becoming either the {{Kingmaker PuppetKing}} or the [[TheManBehindTheMan Power Behind the Throne]], thus snatching victory from the jaws of defeat at the last moment.

Representing the deadly sin of Lust, Erzsebet shares a name with and is more or less a [[NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed No Historical Figures Were Harmed]] expy of [[ElizabethBathory Elizabeth Báthory]]. She has unparalleled access to the entire map via seducing her enemies into giving her open borders, allowing her legions to move and conquer without restriction.

* {{Lust}}: Erzsebet is entirely defined by both her literal sexual lust as well as her bloodlust.

Representing the deadly sin of Gluttony, [[Beelzebub Beelzebub]] is often mistaken for Lucifer due to their shared history as once-great celestials. Her power only grows with each enemy slain as she feeds off of their souls to further her own strength, promoting an aggressive game of conquest.

* BenevolentAbomination: From the perspective of demons, the Tyrant's harassing of them is a CosmicHorrorStory, as He is utterly unable to be stopped in His punishments of them and His angels are [[ImplacableMan only slightly less invulnerable]]. From the perspective of ''everyone else'', said harassments generally focus around [[DeliveranceFromDamnation freeing souls from demonic abuse]] and punishing the Archfiends for their general cruelty.

* Bloodlust: Both literally and metaphorically, she enjoys watching fresh blood drip even more than the average demon.

* NoNameGiven: Though it is fairly obvious that he is the Christian interpretation of God, he is never actually referred to as such or even as Jehovah. Instead, he is [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname exclusively referred to]] by his [[InSeriesNickname]] of [[EmbarrassingNickname The Tyrant]].

** TranquilFury: Despite embodying wrath, Astaroth is more often than not polite, reasonable, and intelligent, with his anger being limited to low simmer so long as you don’t mention [[BerserkButton The Tyrant.]]

* ShipTease: Andromalius is evidently infatuated with Lucifer and claims that it’s mutual. Whether this is a case of [[MadLove]] or a genuine [[UnholyMatrimony]] is impossible to confirm.

* AllAccordingToPlan: More than any other character, Belial is predisposed to becoming either the [[Kingmaker PuppetKing]] or the [[TheManBehindTheMan Power Behind the Throne]], thus snatching victory from the jaws of defeat at the last moment.

Representing the deadly sin of Lust, Erzsebet shares a name with and is more or less a[[NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed No Historical Figures Were Harmed]] expy of [[ElizabethBathory Elizabeth Báthory]]. She has unparalleled access to the entire map via seducing her enemies into giving her open borders, allowing her legions to move and conquer without restriction.

* ToHellwithThisInfernalJob: Another theory as to why he has suddenly vanished, posited by Mammon.

* ThisCannotBe: Upon theorizing that Lucifer's absence could possibly be because he was redeemed and returned to God's side, Murmur quickly dismisses the possibility with repeated denial and desperate panic.

* DivinePunishment: Through the 'Wrath of the Tyrant' event, God will immediately lower all Archfiend's rank by one for no other reason than because he can. He can also send a divine angel to slaughter Hell's armies with ease.

* RageAgainsttheHeavens: Though all archfiends have done this at one point or another, Astaroth's ultimate goal is to [[HellInvadesHeaven conquer Heaven itself]].

* EvilInc: Mammon runs his lands more as a corporate entity than a kingdom of Hell, but is nonetheless just as vile as any other Archfiend.

* ThisCannotBe: Upon theorizing that Lucifer's absence could possibly be because he was redeemed and returned to God's side, Murmur quickly dismisses the possibility with repeated denial and desperate panic.

* InsectQueen: As a Baronness (and later princess) of Hell, Beelzebub enjoys many privileges as an Archfiend despite her hideously insectoid appearance.

[[folder:The Conclave]]

The administration of Hell that Lucifer established after the Fall in order to provide order and prevent infighting among the archfiends. With Satan's absence, they are more powerful but also more vulnerable than ever before.

The exalted one, the dark majesty, the greatest of all angels. He has ruled over hell for thousands of years...until very recently.
* ToHellwithThisInfernalJob: One possible explanation for his sudden disappearance.

God himself. Though never seen in-game, he is often referenced and occasionally directly acts against the Archfiends.

* RageAgainsttheHeavens: Though all archfiends have done this at one point or another, Astaroth's ultimate goal is to [[Hell Invades Heaven conquer Heaven itself]].

* Greed: Mammon is more than just greedy: he's more or less the physical embodiment of the very concept.
