| 21 | One of the three Main Factions alongside the Angels and Fallen Angels, the Devils consist of the 72 Pillars of High-Class Devil noble families (based on the ''Literature/ArsGoetia''), the Extra Demons, and the countless armies under them. When the original Four Great Satans died in the Great War, their descendants were met with opposition by other devils in wanting to continue the Great War and a civil war erupted. The original descendants lost and a new government was placed with Sirzechs Gremory, Serafall Sitri, Ajuka Astaroth, and Falbium Glasya-Labolas becoming the new Four Great Satans. |

| 26 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Despite their villainous role in the Bible, most Devils in the story are actually quite pleasant; the majority of antagonistic Devils are regressive members of the Old Satan faction. Their culture was more malicious in the past, though. |
| 27 | * DealWithTheDevil: They form contracts with humans. While they stole their contractors' souls in the past, it mostly amounts to odd jobs in the present. |
| 28 | * HolyBurnsEvil: Just hearing prayers or reading a Bible causes headaches. Contact with holy objects causes their bodies to smolder. Significant injury from holy weapons reduces them to ashes. |
| 29 | * ImmortalProcreationClause: Their average 10,000-year lifespan comes with very low fertility. |
| 30 | * OurDemonsAreDifferent: They generally look like humans with retractable bat wings. |
| 31 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: They can live for millennia, but tend to make themselves look younger than they really are. |
| 32 | * ShoutOutThemeNaming: Several of their given names are based on various ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. |
| 33 | * WeakenedByTheLight: Not to the extent of vampires, but they're more active at night. Holy light from Angels and Fallen Angels is outright poisonous. |

| 36 | !The Four Great Satans |
| 37 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 38 | * AsskickingPose: As the Satan Rangers. |
| 39 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Sirzechs and Ajuka earned their position specifically because they were too powerful to reasonably settle for anything less. |
| 40 | * BarrierMaiden: Volume 21 and ''EX'' reveal that, except Ajuka, the Satans and their peerage (minus their Queens) along with the rest of the Alliance leaders are forced to seal Trihexa and suppress its power ''inside that seal'' for God knows how many years, but at the most at least ten thousand. |
| 41 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Issei even wonders how all four of them can even ''run'' Hell's affairs. |
| 42 | * ChildishOlderSibling: Unlike their younger siblings Rias and Sona, who are mostly shown to be serious, Sirzechs and Serafall are shown to have a childish side, often loving to {{Cosplay}} as Satan Red and Magical Girl Milky or taking an interest in anything that seems fun such as the Azazel Quest. |
| 43 | * DemonLordsAndArchdevils: The four of them lead the Underworld. |
| 44 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sirzechs (Choleric), Serafall (Sanguine), Ajuka (Melancholic), and Falbium (Phlegmatic). |
| 45 | * HeroicSacrifice: A non-lethal example, but Sirzechs, Serafall, and Falbium and their peerages minus their Queens, as well as the rest of the Alliance leaders, use their powers to trap both Trihexa and themselves into the Isolation Barrier Field, halting Trihexa's rampage. |
| 46 | * LargeHam: When acting as the Satan Rangers, especially Sirzechs and Serafall. |
| 47 | * LastOfHisKind: A non-fatal example. As of the end of volume 21, Ajuka seems to be the only member of the current Four Great Satans left. |
| 48 | * PaperThinDisguise[=/=]MasterOfDisguise: Issei's not fooled by how all five of them are acting as the Satan Rangers, so he's the former. Rias ''genuinely doesn't know'' that those five are her brother, her sister-in-law, and the other three lords of Hell. |
| 49 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: As the Four Lords of Hell they're the highest force of authority in Hell, and they've often shown themselves deserving of the rank by kicking ass and taking names. |
| 50 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: All of them have very reasonable judgments and are willing to listen to their fellow devils for advice. |
| 51 | * {{Satan}}: It's only in Title since they are not the original Satans. |
| 52 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The original four Great Satans died in the Great War along with God, the four current Satans are just their replacements. With Ajuka the only Satan left after the others seal themselves with Trihexa and the plans to eventually create a Seven Satan system as of Volume 21 which has become a reality by the ''EX'' timeline, this is no longer the case. |
| 53 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: All four plus Grayfia in a {{Sentai}} suit shot down an evil spirit. ''It tore the entire sky and ripped open a new dimension.'' |

| 73 | * ChivalrousPervert: Considering he's the one who suggested Issei to use "Gift" on Rias's breasts... |
| 74 | * DatingCatwoman: Back in the day, he and Grayfia were enemies because he was from the new generation of devils and Grayfia was a servant of the original Lucifer. |
| 75 | * EldritchAbomination: What the true form of his Power of Destruction looks like. This was enough to ''scare Hades, '''the god of the dead.''''' |
| 76 | * FamedInStory: His romance with Grayfia became a popular story among other Devils to the point where it was made into a film. |
| 77 | %% * GlowingEyesOfDoom |
| 78 | * HappilyMarried: He has a loving relationship with Grayfia ever since they met during the conflict between the Old Satan and Anti Satan Factions. |

| 80 | * InsaneTrollLogic: He once spent what is implied to be several days (if not a few weeks) straight out stalking Issei as Satan Red in an attempt to take back Millicas's admiration from Oppai Dragon. [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext It is exactly as insane as it sounds.]] |
| 81 | * LineageComesFromTheFather: Subverted. While he inherits Zeoticus's red hair and blue-green eyes like his sister, he also inherits Venelana's Power of Destruction. |
| 82 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has long hair and is a handsome guy. |
| 83 | * NiceGuy: He's quite mellow, to say the least. |
| 84 | * TheOneThatGotAway: He seals himself and his peerage to prevent Trihexa from wreaking havoc, leaving Grayfia whom he does not want to get involved with the monster. |

| 86 | * PapaWolf: Harm Millicas in his presence and ''you're dead''. |

| 88 | * TheRival: According to Serafall, he and Ajuka were rivals back in the day to the point they even competed for the title of Lucifer. |
| 89 | * {{Sentai}}: He has a love of Sentai, similar to how Serafall has a love of magical girls. |
| 90 | * ShapeShifter: He can change into a cat if he wishes. This is how he met and made Souji his Knight. |
| 91 | * ShipperOnDeck: He ''fervidly'' ships Issei with Rias, to the point that when Issei declared in a political meeting that he wanted peace so he can have sex with Rias all the time [[{{Corpsing}} he tried his best not to laugh instead of giving Issei an angry grimace]]. |
| 92 | * ShoutOutThemeNaming: Sizechs' name is derived from two characters from the ''Gundam'' franchise: Char Aznable from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' and Zechs Merquise from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''. |

| 94 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Sirzechs greatly resembles his father and sister, right down to the eyes and the red hair. |
| 95 | * SwitchingPOV: The light novel only shows us the conversation between Lord Phenex and Lord Gremory after Issei defeats Riser while Sirzechs went away. In the anime, it shows his and Grayfia's perspective on the reason why he handed out the griffon to Issei and his thoughts on the Welsh Dragon joining the devil faction. |
| 96 | * TranquilFury: You do ''not'' want to piss this guy off at all. |

| 117 | * AnIcePerson: Her specialty amongst her water-manipulating family. |

| 137 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sirzechs. |
| 138 | * MadScientist: Created the Evil Pieces system, and modifies it ForTheLulz. This was likely why he was the only Satan who didn't seal himself to stop Trihexa, as otherwise, this could have caused problems for Devils as a whole. |
| 139 | * MistakenForTerrorist: He's accused of being one of the terrorists in Volume 6 even though he was also attacked. Might have something to do with one of the members of his former house working for the Khaos Brigade. |
| 140 | * TheRival: According to Serafall, he and Sirzechs were rivals back in the day. |
| 141 | * ShoutOutThemeNaming: Ajuka's name is derived from three characters from the ''Gundam'' franchise: Amuro Ray from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', Judau Ashta from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' and Kamille Bidan from ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''. |

| 151 | * OutOfFocus: Compared to the other three Satans, Falbium has little impact on the plot of the story. |
| 152 | * ShoutOutThemeNaming: Falbium's name is derived from two machines from the ''Gundam'' franchise: G-Falcon of ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' and [=RX-78GP03=] Gundam Dendrobium of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory''. |

Sirzechs's son Millicas is a young devil who will eventually succeed his grandfather as head of the Gremory Family. |
| 159 | * HenpeckedHusband: A trait of the male Gremory clan members is that they are dominated by their wives and cannot talk back to them. While this is seen in men born in the Gremory clan, it is also noted that their future son-in-law (Issei), also has the same habit with Rias. |
| 160 | * ItRunsInTheFamily: Sirzechs and Rias inherited Venelana's Power of Destruction. The Gremory family is also known for being extremely affectionate toward their servants. The side story introducing the first Gremory, Runeas, also reveals that large breasts are very common. |

| 176 | * EasilyForgiven: Riser's father forgives him for having Rias break off her engagement. |

| 178 | * HappilyMarried: He is happily married to his wife Venelana. |
| 179 | * HenpeckedHusband: Venelana can strike absolute fear into him when he does something that angers her. |
| 180 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: It is shown that he and his son Sirzechs physically resemble each other while also having more fun-loving personalities in contrast to their strict wives. Both of them also spoiled Rias since she was a child. |
| 181 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Zeoticus has one of these moments when he realizes that he went too far in forcing his beliefs onto Rias such as having an ArrangedMarriage between her and Riser, as shown when he apologizes to the latter's father for nullifying the engagement. |
| 182 | * NiceGuy: He's one of the friendliest devils that you would ever want to meet. |
| 183 | * OnlyOneName: Was only referred to as Lord Gremory until his first name was revealed in Volume 21. |
| 184 | * PermaStubble: His chin has a small red beard. |
| 185 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Zeoticus is willing to listen to his children's suggestions such as Rias advising him not to include too many maids when renovating Issei's house as well as letting her choose Issei as her fiancé. |

| 204 | * HappilyMarried: She and Zeoticus are content to live together as devils. |
| 205 | * HeroicBastard: She's older and more powerful than her half-brother, the current Lord Bael, but as she was born to a mistress instead of a wife she was not in line to inherit leadership of the clan. She's also a lot nicer than her half-brother. |
| 206 | * MeaningfulName: Venelana appears to come from "venerātus", which means "revered" in Latin. She's highly regarded as a powerful fighter and duchess of her family. |
| 207 | * MumLooksLikeASister: Venelana's looks can be easily mistaken for Rias's sister, which Issei initially assumed was the case. Justified, as Devils have long lifespans, and can make themselves look younger than they really are. |
| 208 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Even though she is much older than her daughter (who is 18 at the beginning of the series), Venelana is still quite an attractive lady. |
| 209 | * PurpleIsPowerful: She is the strongest devil in her clan and her eyes are purple. |
| 210 | * RedBaron: She is known to everyone as "Brunette Madame the Extinct." |

| 238 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Has enough demonic power to give even Issei and Kiba a run for their money. Well, at least until they stopped holding back. |
| 239 | * RoyaltySuperPower: Inherited his father and aunt's [[StuffBlowingUp Power of Destruction]]. |
| 240 | * ShoutOutThemeNaming: Millicas' name is derived from the names of two characters from the Gundam TV series, Milliardo Peacecraft of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' and Casval Rem Deikun of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''. |

| 242 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He resembles his father Sirzechs, his grandfather Zeoticus as well as his aunt Rias. |
| 243 | * SomeoneToRememberHimBy: After Sirzechs seals himself to suppress Trihexa, Millicas becomes this to Grayfia. |
| 244 | * WiseBeyondTheirYears: Gave Xenovia a long lecture on how to use her Ex-Durandal's powers (to Kiba's joy to the point of crying ManlyTears) and is even thinking about which members he wants in his peerage. |
| 245 | * TheWisePrince: Justified since his parents are the rulers of Hell. |

| 251 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Saori Seto (Japanese), Creator/KrishnaSmitha (English; 2013-2014) and Creator/MeganShipman (English; 2015-present) |
| 252 | |
| 253 | The head maid, [[ChessMotifs Queen]] and wife of Sirzechs Lucifer, and mother of Millicas Gremory, Grayfia is one of the most powerful characters in Hell. |
| 254 | ---- |
| 255 | * ActionMom: Even after having Millicas, her motherhood hasn't slowed her down whenever she engages in battle with other devils. |
| 256 | * BitchSlap: She often whacks Sirzechs around when he's being immature, and he claimed that he nearly died trying to record her sleeping like he did with Rias. While Grayfia is noted to have Satan-level strength, Sirzechs is a Super Devil who can make top-tier gods wary. |
| 257 | * BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Always the tsukkomi whenever Sirzechs does something outrageous. |
| 258 | * BraidsOfAction: She's a very powerful devil who wears her hair in braids. |
| 259 | * CainAndAbel: She's the older Abel while her younger brother Euclid is the younger Cain. |
| 260 | * CoolBigSis: To Rias, the stern type. |
| 261 | * CoolMask: [[spoiler:Wears a red dragon mask as Bina Lessthan.]] |
| 262 | * TheComicallySerious: Anytime she starts to appear, there will be hilarity. [[OnlySaneMan Must be why Issei defers to her greatly]]. |
| 263 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: In the first three seasons of the anime, she has silver eyes instead of [[RedEyesTakeWarning red.]] |
| 264 | * DefectorFromDecadence: After meeting Sirzechs during the conflict between the Old Satan and Anti-Satan Factions, Grayfia defects from the Old Satan Faction and eventually marries him. |
| 265 | * TheDreaded: She can make Sirzechs' entire peerage ''scared'' just by showing up. One of them happens to be a ''giant that can breathe fire!'' Even Sirzechs himself is afraid of getting on her bad side, despite being much more powerful. |
| 266 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her introductory scene is to suddenly appear at Issei's house to lecture Rias for attempting to break off her engagement to Riser. She also helps pick up Rias's clothes for her. |
| 267 | * FamedInStory: Her romance with Sirzechs became a popular story among other Devils to the point where it was made into a film. |
| 268 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Her InVinoVeritas moment with Issei? The one where she mentions her family? It's going to be one of the main highlights of the 14th Volume, specifically her brother. |
| 269 | * GameFace: When a gigantic Issei tells her that he's got a plan but needs her and the entire servants of Sirzechs's help, she puts this face on. |
| 270 | * GoodParents: She loves Millicas dearly even if she is Sirzechs's wife and Queen of his peerage. |
| 271 | * HappilyMarried: She marries Sirzechs after fighting the Old Satan and Anti-Satan Factions. |
| 272 | * HeroicSafeMode: [[spoiler:She has not been well emotionally since Sirzech and the rest of his peerage sealed themselves with Trihexa, leaving her behind. Her reason for helping Issei as his Queen for the Azazel Cup is so that he can reach Maou status, as Sirzech wanted, which becomes her primary focus. She finally breaks down during her fight against Rias.]] |
| 273 | * HouseWife: She's very much the maid of her husband's family. |
| 274 | * InVinoVeritas: In the {{Hot Springs|Episode}} short story, it is revealed her personality switches under the influence of alcohol, primarily she becomes a bit of a [[TheGadfly troublemaker.]] |
| 275 | * LadyOfWar: She's regarded as Satan-level in power, even considered for the title of Leviathan, and she's much more reserved than the current one. |
| 276 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 277 | ** Her last name, Lucifuge, is taken from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifuge_Rofocale Lucifuge Rofocale]], a demon who is Lucifer's right-hand man. Given her family history of serving the original Lucifer and her service to Sirzechs, the current Lucifer, it's only natural. |
| 278 | ** [[spoiler:The first name of her alias in the Azazel cup, "Bina" means "double" in Italian. Referring to her using a double persona.]] |
| 279 | * {{Meido}}: She is the Gremory household's maid and wears the appropriate attire for it (a French maid uniform in this case). |
| 280 | * MysticalWhiteHair: Grayfia sports silver hair. |
| 281 | * NotSoStoic: As soon as she becomes Rias's sister, she'll sternly lecture Rias ''for a very long time.'' Not to mention, she'll release an aura so powerful, ''everyone in the room'' feels like they're going to die. |
| 282 | * OlderAlterEgo: Inverted. [[spoiler:Using her demonic power she turned herself into what she looked like as a teenager and called herself Bina Lessthan to act as Issei's Queen for the Azazel Cup.]] |
| 283 | * OnlySaneWoman: Whenever she joins in the antics of the Four Great Satans. [[NotSoAboveItAll And even then, sometimes she's weird seeing as she suggested to Rias to let Issei touch her breasts to power up.]] |
| 284 | * PaperFanOfDoom: Whips it out whenever Sirzechs says something stupid. |
| 285 | * RedBaron: She is known by everyone as "The Ultimate Queen". |
| 286 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: She has red eyes (except in the first three seasons of the anime) and is one of the most powerful devils in the series and can strike fear in strong devils such as Riser and even her husband, Sirzechs. |
| 287 | * TheRival: To Serafall back in the day for the title of Leviathan. |
| 288 | * ShoutOutThemeNaming: Her given name comes from the Japanese names for [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Glaceon and Leafon]]. |
| 289 | * StatuesqueStunner: She stands at 5'8" according to [[AllThereInTheManual official material]]. |
| 290 | * TheStoic: In head-maid mode. ''Nothing'' phases her even if Sirzechs does something stupid. Even Issei coming back to life as a giant garnered little more reaction than if he'd just returned home. |
| 291 | * [[StraightMan Straight Woman]]: Pretty much the only normal person in the Gremory household (alongside Venelana) and among the Satan Rangers, to which the others set up the punchline. That is if she isn't drunk. |
| 292 | * SwitchingPOV: The light novel only shows us the conversation between Lord Phenex and Lord Gremory after Issei defeats Riser while Sirzechs and Grayfia went away. In the anime, it shows hers and Sirzechs's perspective on the reason why the latter handed out the griffin to Issei and the latter's thoughts on the Welsh Dragon joining the devil group while Grayfia notes that he's happy about it. It probably reminded them of their circumstances back then. |
| 293 | * TheTease: The catch? She has ''[[InVinoVeritas to be drunk]]''. |

| 354 | * HotWings: They have flaming wings in place of bat wings like other devils. |
| 355 | * MeaningfulName: Marquis Phenex in the ''Literature/ArsGoetia'' is described to have the appearance of the immortal bird, Phoenix, and the Phenex Family share the same motif and abilities as the Phoenix. |
| 356 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Phenex shares the same name as one of the seventy-two demons of the Goetia. |
| 357 | * PlayingWithFire: The family can control fire at will. |
| 358 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Inverted. The original uses the Phenex spelling, keeping with the ''Literature/ArsGoetia'' motif of the 72 Pillars. Funimation's adaptation uses the Phoenix spelling, which doesn't help much since both words use the same katakana [[note]](フェニックス ''Fenikkusu'')[[/note]]. |
| 359 | ** Then again according to Website/TheOtherWiki, Phoenix is an alternative spelling for Phenex. |

| 365 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese) and Creator/ChristopherCoreySmith (English) |
| 366 | |
| 367 | Rias' former fiancé and the third son of the House of Phenex. |
| 368 | ---- |
| 369 | * ArcVillain: He is the main antagonist of Volume 2. |
| 370 | * ArchEnemy: He quickly becomes Issei's biggest enemy in Volume 2 when he kisses one of his servants in front of the Occult Research Club and tries to steal Rias away for their ArrangedMarriage planned out by their families. This is later averted as they become friendly rivals. |
| 371 | * ArrangedMarriage: He and Rias became engaged because of an agreement between their families, in an attempt to preserve the bloodline of Pure-Blooded Devils. |
| 372 | * BigBrotherInstinct: It's shown that he deeply loves Ravel to the point that he's willing to have Issei look after her for his sake. |
| 373 | * BlackSheep: Riser is the only member of his family who has an arrogant personality, unlike his well-mannered siblings and parents. Well, [[BreakTheHaughty until the aftermath of his duel with Issei]], at least... |
| 374 | * TheBusCameBack: He's completely absent following his defeat at the hands of Issei until the side-story "The Resurrected Immortal Bird", where Issei brings him back out of his HeroicBSOD. |
| 375 | * BreakTheHaughty: After losing the EngagementChallenge, he comes around to treat the protagonists with more respect. By the time of Issei's "death", he comes around to offer his sincere condolences. |
| 376 | * BrotherSisterIncest: The reason why Ravel was a part of his peerage was that he wanted a "little sister-type" girl in his harem, though he denies having a sister complex. |
| 377 | * CharacterExaggeration: While Riser's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold to begin with, his jackassery in the anime version is significantly exaggerated. |
| 378 | * DisposableFiance: He was Rias' fiancé before Issei defeated him and annulled his marriage to Rias. |
| 379 | * EngagementChallenge: He fights Issei during Rias' engagement party in the finale of Volume 2. |
| 380 | * EvilCounterpart: Starts off as this to Issei, eventually becoming TheRival of sorts, He has everything Issei wants, a Harem and the power to maintain that Harem, but he also shows what would happen if Issei let his power go to his head, being arrogant to the point of recklessness, and while his Peerage and Family do seem to love him, the rest of the Underworld seems to think he is something of an Entitled Brat. |
| 381 | * EvilIsHammy: As is part and parcel for a villain voiced by Creator/TakehitoKoyasu, Riser definitely enjoys chewing the scenery. |
| 382 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Takehito Koyasu gives Riser a smooth baritone, not unlike that of DIO from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. |
| 383 | * FacialHorror: At the end of Volume 2, Issei uses holy water and his Boosted Gear to burn Riser's face. He gets better. |
| 384 | * FatalFlaw: His pride ends up causing his defeat at the hands of Issei at the end of Volume 2. |
| 385 | * FinalBoss: He becomes the final threat Issei and the Occult Research Club take on in the first story arc. |
| 386 | * {{Foil}}: He can be considered one for Issei. One is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent while the other is a BornWinner; Issei wants a harem while Riser already has one, and Issei is deeply respectful of Rias while Riser treats her like a trophy to be won. |
| 387 | * GracefulLoser: He forgives Issei for his actions in canceling his marriage with Rias, but he won't forgive him if he tries to make any unforgivable moves on his sister. |
| 388 | * HeroicBSOD: He sulks in his room after Issei defeats him at his engagement party. |
| 389 | * HowTheMightyHaveFallen: After being defeated by Issei in volume 2, Riser temporarily becomes a broken man. It's even {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Ravel when Issei inquires her about him. |
| 390 | * IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: He promised to burn Issei to a crisp if he harmed Ravel in any way. |
| 391 | * {{Immortality}}: His main strong point is that he can't be killed. As you can imagine that is enough to get through most enemies. |
| 392 | * {{Irony}}: When he's first introduced, he is engaged to Rias and taunts Issei to the point that he beats the latter up in the Rating Game to force Rias to surrender. But he doesn't get the girl thanks to Issei winning his EngagementChallenge. Even better, Riser views Issei as a WorthyOpponent and respects his wishes to have his own harem. |
| 393 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being a jerk to Issei and making unwanted advances towards Rias to the point that she challenges him to a Rating Game, he's one of the good guys who respect Issei as his WorthyOpponent. He also loves his sister Ravel enough to threaten Issei into taking care of her properly. |
| 394 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Riser survives the second volume's events, but not without getting knocked out by Issei during his EngagementChallenge. |
| 395 | * LargeAndInCharge: He's 180 cm/5'11" tall and is the leader of his peerage. |
| 396 | * LaserGuidedKarma: By the end of Volume 2, Riser beats up Issei in the Rating Game and attempts to steal Rias away. Then, Issei soundly defeats Riser at the end of their EngagementChallenge and gets Rias back from him. |
| 397 | * LovableSexManiac: Though the "lovable" part is up for debate, Riser has an all-female peerage and wants to see both Rias's and Akeno's breasts. |
| 398 | * MeaningfulName: Riser is derived from "rise/rising", given his prominence as the leader of his peerage. |
| 399 | * NobleMaleRoguishMale: With Ruval, he is the latter. |
| 400 | * OldFlame: He and Rias were going to be engaged at some point before the story began. Eventually, Rias would become Issei's girlfriend in the aftermath of the latter's EngagementChallenge. |
| 401 | * PetTheDog: Even though he still acts like a jerk towards Rias and still kissed his servants in front of the group to provoke Issei, he actually gave a lot of good advice to Rias and told Issei that if Issei is defeated, it is a blow to Rias. Not to mention, he's the one who gave Rias a handicap and told her that their Rating Game will take place in 10 days and told her that if she wants to do it now, he knows he'll curb-stomp them. |
| 402 | * PlayingWithFire: As with most of the Phenex family, he can burn enemies with fire. |
| 403 | * PrideBeforeAFall: He starts off as an arrogant jerk who is Rias' fiancé. Said arrogance ends up being his undoing by the end of Volume 2, and he begins to respect Issei and his allies after his defeat. |
| 404 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: He's the leader of his own peerage and a badass fighter to boot. |
| 405 | * ShipperOnDeck: Ships Ravel and Issei, even jokingly referring to Issei as Ravel's future husband, much to her annoyance. |
| 406 | * ShoutOutThemeNaming: He is named after the 00 Raiser from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]''. |
| 407 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: His first name is often translated as either "Raiser" or "Riser", and his last name can be both "Phenex" and "Phoenix". |
| 408 | * ThirdPersonPerson: He speaks in this manner in Funimation's dub of the first season. |
| 409 | * TookALevelInKindness: He softens up a lot after his defeat in the EngagementChallenge at the end of Volume 2. He even offers his condolences to the Occult Research Club when Issei "died" at the beginning of Volume 12. |
| 410 | * ToThePain: In the anime, he loudly gloats that he can mortally wound Issei during a Rating Game to bypass the safeguards and get away scot-free. He seems to have only said it to twist Rias's arm into surrendering. When he has a chance to outright kill Issei during their fight, he announces he'll just put Issei in a coma. |
| 411 | * TrainingFromHell: He gets subjected to this by Issei and Tannin in the same mountains that Issei trained at. |
| 412 | * TraumaButton: Whenever he sees Issei or any dragon, Riser freezes in shock. Given how he was defeated by Issei back in volume 2, this is understandable. |
| 413 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: He makes the mistake of underestimating how strong Issei is when they first meet. By the end of volume 2, Issei uses his Boosted Gear to avoid Riser's attacks, burn his face and punch him in the stomach to knock him out. |
| 414 | * UnstoppableRage: Riser loses it when Issei uses holy water to burn his face towards the end of Volume 2, unfortunately for him, it is pointless as Issei still defeats him regardless. |
| 415 | * WorthyOpponent: He views Issei as this when he is finally healed from his dragon trauma. |
| 416 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: After Issei defeats him in volume 2, Riser suffers from dracophobia (fear of dragons), at least until Issei snaps him out of it in his side-story. |

| 550 | ---- |
| 551 | * AbusiveParent: He [[IHaveNoSon rejected Sairaorg as his son]] after it turned out that Sairaorg was born without any demonic power and the Bael clan's power; the Power of Destruction. He also forced Magdaran to go through TrainingFromHell to make him stronger to compete with Lord Bael's half-sister's children; Sirzechs and Rias Gremory, who are stated to be very talented with the Power of Destruction. |
| 552 | * DrivenByEnvy: A lot of his motivations are to ensure the continuation of the noble pure-blood devil society and he is shown to be envious and jealous of the protagonists' achievements. |
| 553 | * FantasyForbiddingFather: He disapproved of Magdaran's interest in botany as he felt that it was shameful for the Great King clan, which symbolizes "destruction", to be linked with flowers. |
| 554 | * HateSink: Despite never making an official appearance, his negative actions towards his wife and two sons mark him as a loathsome individual. According to Magdaran, he would even discard him and his mother if he could protect his own pride, as he is shown to be a bit weak-willed and often going to ask for directions from the previous Bael heads. |
| 555 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Despite his pride and status, it is revealed that he is very indecisive in terms of his leadership of the Bael clan and often goes to ask the older Bael generations like Zekram Bael for advice on how to deal with matters. |
| 556 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He is noted to be very self-centered as he doesn't consider anyone's opinion other than his own. It is shown that he is very distant from even his own family, preferring to focus on his duties as the Bael clan head. |

| 584 | The son of Lord Bael and Misla Bael, Sairaorg is the heir to the clan. Exiled from his home after he was unable to inherit his family's Power of Destruction, Sairaorg trained himself to the point that he can fight off anybody as one of the strongest devils. His wish is to become one of the Four Lords of Hell. |
| 585 | ---- |
| 586 | * AnimalMotifs: Sairaorg is associated with [[KingOfBeasts lions]]: he has a lion's head forged on his battle armor, as well as a mane-like headdress. Not to mention he inherited his Lion Taming talents from his mother. |
| 587 | * BadassNormal: All he has is just pure physical power and nothing else seeing as he doesn't have the Power of Destruction. And yet he's kicked ''everybody's ass''. |
| 588 | * BadassTeacher: Gets a chance to be a special guest lecturer at the Auros Academy. Also, it is heavily implied that he trained Airi, Asia's daughter to be a formidable BarefistedMonk. |
| 589 | * BashBrothers: He and Issei become this whenever they fight together. |
| 590 | * TheBeastmaster: He inherited the special ability exclusive only to the Vapula clan from his mother's side to tame Lions. It's because of this trait he was able to gain control of the Longinus sacred gear "Regulus Nemea". |
| 591 | * BlackSheep: Because Sairaorg was unable to inherit his family's abilities, he was banished from his home. |
| 592 | * CastFromLifespan: To use Breakdown the Beast against Bedeze Abaddon, he sacrificed some of his life showed by him spitting up some blood. |

| 599 | * TheExile: He was exiled from his family since he was unable to inherit his family's Power of Destruction. |
| 600 | * FullNameBasis: To everybody except for Rias. |
| 601 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Tells the Gremory group to never give up on believing that Issei will come {{back from the dead}} seeing as he hasn't had sex with Rias yet. Without the hitting part of course [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower because of the obvious]]. |
| 602 | * GodzillaThreshold: He was originally opposed to using his Balance Breaker in matches, as he stated that he would only use it in the defense of the Underworld. Issei manages to convince him to use it during their match. After that, he is shown to have a habit of using it, due to fighting increasingly more powerful opponents during Rating Games, such as Cao Cao and Shooting Star. |
| 603 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Instead of inheriting the Bael Family's Power of Destruction, he inherited the Vapula Family's lion-taming ability. It doesn't sound like a good trade-off, but being able to tame lions allowed him to tame something potentially even more powerful than the Power of Destruction, a Longinus-class Sacred Gear. |
| 604 | * {{Hunk}}: A prominent example, being a tall, muscular, and very good-looking character. |
| 605 | * HotBloodedSideburns: Perhaps unsurprisingly due to his personality, this devil's got sideburns that wouldn't be out of place in a 70s SuperRobotGenre anime. |
| 606 | * TheJuggernaut: Sairaorg can use his Regulus Nemea's version of Juggernaut Drive, which is referred to as "Breakdown the Beast", which also increases his power at the cost of his lifespan. |
| 607 | * LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Requests from Sirzechs to lift the rules that restrict the Gremory team so that they can fight at full power. |
| 608 | * LightningBruiser: Noted by both Issei and Kiba to be fast, strong, and durable. Considering how strong Issei is and how fast Kiba is we can take their word for it. |
| 609 | * MagneticHero: According to Sirzechs. |
| 610 | * MegatonPunch: Enough to knock out ''anybody''. |
| 611 | * MommasBoy: His mother was noted to be very caring towards Sairaorg, encouraging him to grow strong and prove himself to those that looked down on him. He is relieved that she not only recovers from her coma but also gives him a SoProudOfYou. |
| 612 | * MuggleBornOfMages: Well, the equivalent for devils, but he still counts. |
| 613 | * NiceGuy: Despite being pitted against Issei in their duel, he's very polite and friendly, even going so far as to give him advice on handling his feelings for Rias. |
| 614 | * NoSell: He can stop Issei in his Trianna Welsh Dragonic Rook form. Not so much when Issei's at Cardinal Crimson Queen. |
| 615 | * PoweredArmor: What his Balance Breaker manifests as. |
| 616 | * PowerLimiter: Limits himself to just be able to have a good fight with his opponents. [[MegatonPunch Doesn't matter anyway]]. |
| 617 | * RedBaron: Imperial Purpure (Kanji reads as Purple Gold Lion King). |
| 618 | * SelfMadeMan: Lost his position in the Bael line of succession due to being born without special powers, and what did he do? Gain everyone's respect the hard way by undergoing intensive training. |
| 619 | * ShipperOnDeck: Much like Sirzechs, he ships Issei/Rias, to the point of even saying that Issei would flat-out refuse to die if he didn't first have sex with her. |
| 620 | * SoProudOfYou: When his mom finally wakes up from a coma, she says she's proud of him, causing him to shed a {{single tear}}. |
| 621 | * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Though Sairaorg was mocked for inheriting the Vapula family's power to tame lions, rather than the flashier demonic abilities like the Power of Destruction, these taming abilities let him befriend the Nemean Lion and obtain a very powerful Sacred Gear devils aren't supposed to be able to use. |
| 622 | * TrainingFromHell: Subjected himself to one so he can become stronger. |
| 623 | * TheUnfavorite: Lord Bael sees Sairaorg as his least favorite son, due to the latter not inheriting the Bael Family's demonic abilities. |
| 624 | * WorthyOpponent: |
| 625 | ** Sees Issei as this seeing as he's wanting to fight one of the Two Heavenly Dragons. |
| 626 | ** He comes to view Cao Cao as one during their match against each other. |
| 627 | ** He also considers Shooting Star as one due to his resolve and similar circumstances. |

| 634 | ---- |
| 635 | * AbusiveDad: Hoo boy he got it '''large''' as the source of his early {{Angst}} (though this has rectified by the time he makes his appearance). To wit: He was born with his clan's Power of Destruction, but he does not have exceptional talent like Rias and Sirzechs, so his father subjected him to TrainingFromHell (literally and figuratively). His family never got along well, and his mother was only in it because she was proud of being married to the head of Bael. Only when Sairaorg talked to him he started to feel a bit better. When it was revealed that his and Sairaorg's father is a jerk who [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares about their reputation]], making it completely justified. |
| 636 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: How Magdaran felt about his half-brother Sairaorg, due to Sairaorg being much stronger than him. |
| 637 | * CainAndAbel: InvertedTrope, with Magdaran originally being the younger Cain to Sairaorg's older Abel, as Magdaran tried to sabotage his brother at various times in politics as revenge for having the position of the Bael heir taken from him. This trope is later averted after the two brothers reconcile. |
| 638 | * NatureHero: Magdaran's interest in botany, where he is very knowledgeable and is capable of cultivating rare plants like rare species of apples and ''actually revived'' an extinct species of flower. |
| 639 | * ParentalFavoritism: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Magdaran was initially favored by his and Sairaorg's father, he later lost respect for Magdaran after he was defeated by Sairaorg during their fight for the position of the Bael heir. |
| 640 | * PrincelingRivalry: After Sairaorg defeated Magdaran in the duel to decide the next Bael heir, Magdaran would later try to sabotage his brother in politics at various times as revenge for having the seat of the next heir taken from him. However, after seeing his brother fight for him, he became remorseful for trying to sabotage him. |
| 641 | * SiblingYinYang: Magdaran is noted to be calmer and more thoughtful compared to Sairaorg, who has a preference to rush in head first to solve problems. Sairaorg himself notes that Magdaran would make a better clan head than him. |
| 642 | * TrophyChild: Magdaran was conceived to replace Sairaorg as the heir of the Bael clan. |
| 643 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Magdaran originally tried very hard to earn his father's respect and even took to hating Sairaorg, Rias, and Sirzechs due to his influence. He later gives up on it due to seeing that his father doesn't care much for him and his mother. |

| 774 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diodara_meeting_issei_and_asia.jpg]] |
| 775 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MakotoFurukawa (Japanese) and Creator/AaronDismuke (English) |
| 776 | |
| 777 | An associate of the Khaos Brigade. Wanting to have Asia Argento as part of his harem, he harms himself and has her heal him, which results in Asia's exile. He was brought in by Shalba Beelzebub to kidnap and marry Asia and launch an assault on the Underworld. Failing a few attempts and being defeated by Issei Hyoudou, he was killed by Shalba. |
| 778 | ----- |
| 779 | * AmbitionIsEvil: His ambition is to kidnap Asia and have her join his harem. |
| 780 | * AxCrazy: Despite not cracking until his VillainousBreakdown, his obvious pleasure at raping and torturing Asia is a sign that he has ''not'' got a right mind. |
| 781 | * BaitTheDog: When he first appears, he's an affable devil. Then it's revealed that he's a murderer and a rapist. After that, he tries to kidnap and rape Asia. |
| 782 | * BerserkButton: He despises the idea of someone that's much stronger than him. |
| 783 | * BigBadDuumvirate: He and Shalba work together as the main antagonists of volume 6. Well, until [[YouHaveFailedMe Shalba kills him for his failures]] at least. |
| 784 | * BigBadWannabe: Though he teams up with Shalba Beelzebub, Diodora directly overestimates how much clout he has -- the only reason he wasn't dealt with earlier is it could have provoked the Old Satan Faction and triggered a civil war. When they break to join the Khaos Brigade, that protection disappears, and he promptly fucks up by [[BullyingADragon targeting the new Red Dragon Emperor]]. He then finds out [[YouHaveFailedMe exactly how disposable he is]] when Shalba arrives and kills him. |
| 785 | * BreakTheHaughty: He's very confident of himself, to put it mildly, and thinks of Issei and the others as beneath him, but Issei proceeds to reveal this as nothing more than delusions of grandeur as he bounces him across the vast hallways like a stress ball. |
| 786 | * ChekhovsGunman: He appears briefly during Volume 5, only to reappear at the end of the volume and set himself up as the main antagonist of Volume 6. He is also mentioned as a part of Asia's backstory as far back as the first volume. |
| 787 | * ClassicVillain: He represents Lust and Pride. |
| 788 | * CrisisOfFaith: Diodora actually ''gets off'' on causing these in his marks; finding a devout, well-respected holy woman like a nun and slowly breaking their spirits until they ultimately give in to despair. |
| 789 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: He mocks Issei about his BlueBlood nature. Granted, Diodora truly didn't realize that he was mocking someone almost three times stronger than him, but it still counts. |
| 790 | * DirtyCoward: When the club tries to rescue Asia, he threatens to use her as a [[HumanShield shield]], before teleporting away snickering. |
| 791 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Despite being one-half of Volume 6's BigBadDuumvirate, it's not until the end of this volume that there's another member of the duumvirate for the Occult Research Club to take down: Shalba Beelzebub. |
| 792 | * DoNotTauntCthulhu: After taunting and demeaning Issei by threatening to rape Asia and gloating about his supposedly BlueBlood nature, Issei one-shots him. |
| 793 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He may be hard to see among the crowd, but he made a brief cameo in chapter 21 of the manga during Rias and Riser's engagement party. |
| 794 | * EngineeredHeroics: He had Asia excommunicated by the church and waited for Raynare to kill her, only for him to kill the fallen angel and revive Asia, thus appearing to be her "savior." The last part of his plan fails when Raynare is defeated by Issei and Asia is revived by Rias. |
| 795 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Diodora's arrogance and relentless self-centeredness blind him to the idea that Issei will defeat him and cause his plan to kidnap and ultimately rape Asia to fail. |
| 796 | * EvilCounterpart: Like Issei, Diodora wanted to form a harem. However, unlike him, Diodora was willing to do anything to accomplish his goals, including outright murder. Not only that, Issei acts like an unapologetic pervert but deeply loves and cares about the women in his life, while Diodora acts nice but is a horrific sleazebag who sees his girls as nothing more than sex slaves. |
| 797 | * EvilGloating: When the group confronts him, he continuously taunts Issei about having kidnapped Asia, eventually crossing [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil one too many lines]] and causing Issei to reach his RageBreakingPoint by threatening to rape Asia. |
| 798 | * EvilPlan: He had planned to make Asia a part of his harem from the very beginning. It fails miserably. |
| 799 | * EyesAlwaysShut: As part of his smug, polite facade, he keeps his eyes shut. He opens them when he gets aggravated, like when Issei tries to pull him away from Asia. |
| 800 | * FatalFlaw: Diodora's {{pride}} and {{lust}}. He can't control his urges to rape and murder nuns, and couldn't stand being underestimated by Issei, and that's precisely how he lost in volume 6. |
| 801 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 802 | ** To Rias. Both are the relatives of a Devil King (with Diodora being related to Ajuka Beelzebub and Rias being Sirzechs Lucifer's younger sister, respectively), both are the future heads of their families and both have a connection to Asia. But where Rias is kind, mature, and serene, Diodora is cruel, childish, and psychotic. Rias cherishes Asia as a surrogate sister, while Diodora views her only as his property. Rias is greatly respected in the underworld, while Diodora is widely hated, to the point that the only reason he wasn't killed sooner was that killing him could have started a civil war. |
| 803 | ** To Issei. Issei is concerned with the suffering of others and generally shows great empathy, Diodora gets off on torturing and mind-breaking his victims. Issei has self-esteem issues, and Diodora is so prideful that he cannot stand the idea of someone stronger than him. Issei may appear as a simple pervert on the surface but has a noble heart underneath, Diodora puts on the facade of a kind and polite individual despite being a disgusting rapist. Issei is very brave and sacrifices his well-being for others, Diodora was perfectly fine with using Asia as a human shield to escape. Issei genuinely loves and cherishes his harem, Diodora brainwashed them to do his bidding and uses them like toys. Issei is willing to go above and beyond to protect Asia and make sure her own desires are respected, Diodora will do anything to kill her if he cannot have her for himself. |
| 804 | * ForTheEvulz: He’s pretty much a scumbag for the sake of being a scumbag. He even drags the rest of the Occult Research Club into his business with Asia just to have more victims. This kills him in the end when he gets curb-stomped by an enraged Issei and is dispatched by Shalba as a result. |
| 805 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He may have been calm and polite in the Young Devils' Gathering, but it was only because he had to do it to cover his true motives, not to mention that he was clearly shown to drop his polite demeanor whenever not in their presence. |
| 806 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: It gradually becomes obvious - and eventually gets said point-blank by Issei - that the only reason the rest of the Devils put up with his transparent smarm is that offing him could cause a civil war. |
| 807 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Of Volume 1. He's the one who caused Asia's exile from the church. |
| 808 | * HateAtFirstSight: Issei hates his guts the second they meet, particularly due to him horning in on Asia right in front of him. |
| 809 | * HatedByAll: Due to his status as a sadistic HopeCrusher who often branded nuns as heretics, everyone despises Diodora. |
| 810 | * HopeCrusher: And delights in every second of it. He explicitly plans to kill the group in front of Asia just so he can see her lose all hope. Unfortunately for him, Issei prevents this from happening and subjects Diodora to this by beating him down easily and freeing Asia from her binds. |
| 811 | -->'''Diodora:''' I never get tired of it! My favorite is when a woman of faith and conviction gives in to despair! |
| 812 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Similar to the Old Satan Faction, he prides himself as a high-class devil and considers Issei a "filthy dragon", despite the source of his overconfidence being his consumption of a snake from the Ouroboros Dragon Ophis. |
| 813 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Once Diodora is defeated by Issei, Shalba uses his light spear to stab him in the gut. |
| 814 | * {{Irony}}: He tries branding Asia as a heretic and waiting for Raynare to kill her to revive her as a devil. Not only does Issei rescue Asia and has her revived as a devil, but he kills Raynare in the process. |
| 815 | * {{Jerkass}}: To put it very mildly, Diodora Astaroth is an absolute ''piece of shit.'' |
| 816 | * {{Lust}}: His FatalFlaw. He can't control the urges of raping and murdering nuns. |
| 817 | * TheManBehindTheMan: He is behind the events of Volume 1 and Asia's banishment from the church. |
| 818 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: He's impaled by Shalba's light spear and disappears into light. |
| 819 | * ObviouslyEvil: He wears dark robes and has a sinister personality. |
| 820 | * {{Pride}}: His FatalFlaw. He can't accept being underestimated by a more powerful devil, which is exactly what leads to his demise. |
| 821 | * PsychopathicManchild: He reflects a childish glee when drooling about how he would rape Asia, and when he's being tossed around like a rag doll, he screams and throws a temper tantrum. |
| 822 | * RedRightHand: Diodora sports an X-shaped scar on his chest. It was self-inflicted as part of his gambit to get Asia. |
| 823 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: His threat to rape Asia establishes him as one of the most despicable, irredeemably evil villains in the series, and causes Issei to [[UnstoppableRage explode in a fit of anger]], reaching Balance Breaker. Nobody even cares what happens to him after this; Rias and Ddraig even advise Issei to go all-guns-blazing on him. |
| 824 | -->'''Diodora:''' ''[whilst [[EvilGloating gloating]]]'' I'll be honest, the thought of raping Asia as she calls out your name is absolutely delicious! |
| 825 | * TheReveal: Two. Firstly, he was the devil whom Asia healed while she was still affiliated with the church, and secondly, he had been planning to kidnap Asia all along. |
| 826 | * {{Sadist}}: He's a vicious piece of work, who gets off on making women suffer and being his {{sex slave}}s. |
| 827 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: A {{deconstructed|Trope}} example. As Issei himself realizes, the only reason Diodora gets away with his deeds is because he's both the heir of the well-respected Astaroth clan and related to Ajuka Beelzebub, one of the [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Four Great Satans]], and killing him would risk provoking the Old Satan Faction and triggering a civil war. Once he joins the [[ChaosIsEvil Khaos Brigade]] and participates in a plot to kill a lot of high-ranking people, he loses that protection, and nobody gives a shit when Issei beats him senseless and Shalba [[YouHaveFailedMe offs him]]. The Astaroth clan's reputation is [[HeroWithBadPublicity destroyed]] because of Diodora's actions, with Ajuka himself being briefly MistakenForTerrorist. |
| 828 | * ShadowArchetype: |
| 829 | ** To Issei -- he represents what Issei could have become if he was devoid of any true love for his harem. |
| 830 | ** To Riser -- Both are the arrogant heirs to their important powerful clans and both are highly perverted and haughty. Riser was merely a jerk while Diodora is genuinely evil. Riser wised up after his beating by Issei and became the man he should be as the heir to an important clan, while Diodora died as bad as he started and dragged his family name into the mud with him. |
| 831 | * {{Slimeball}}: Diodora is a cold-hearted, manipulative individual who appears with a faux veneer of kindness at first but is purely motivated by his depraved personal gain. He also has no problem in showing off his status to others he considers below himself. |
| 832 | * SmallNameBigEgo: He's a devil who talks down to people ([[FromBadToWorse AND Issei, who had none of it]]) and is smug enough to kidnap Asia to rape her. He pays for this trope with his life when Issei gives him a CurbStompBattle and Shalba kills him for his failures. |
| 833 | * SmugSnake: It takes a special kind of smugness to take the moment you had a nun heal you so that she can get excommunicated from the Church and have a Fallen Angel kill her so that you can revive her and paint yourself as the hero. So smug that his explanations about what he did to Asia give a good enough reason to beat the crap out of him. |
| 834 | * TheSociopath: His hobby is forcibly turning nuns into {{sex slave}}s for nothing more than dominance and fun before murdering them, he has utterly no empathy for the victims of his actions and cares only about indulging himself and inflicting pain as much as he can. |
| 835 | * StupidEvil: After he kidnaps Asia, he leads the Occult Research Club into a battle with him. Not only that, but Diodora taunts the club about raping and eventually ''murdering'' Asia, which makes it that much easier for Issei to give him a CurbStompBattle. |
| 836 | * TakingYouWithMe: He had a backup plan that accounted for his defeat - a Longinus seal that would devour Asia to ensure that she could never return to Issei and the Occult Research Club. Worse yet, it would force her to use reversed healing on the field and observing room to take down the leaders of each faction. Luckily, he didn't account for Dress Break. |
| 837 | * TaremeEyes: His eyes are drawn in a distinctly droopy fashion. Combined with the above EyesAlwaysShut, it gives him a meek expression unbefitting of his true colors. |
| 838 | * TooDumbToLive: In addition to severely underestimating Issei, he continues to taunt Issei by claiming to kill him before breaking Asia, then proceeds to get thrashed by Issei and begs Shalba for help upon his arrival, only to be slaughtered like an insect. |
| 839 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: His toying with Issei when he believes they can't fight back comes back to haunt him big time when Issei gives him a CurbStompBattle and causes him to break down. |
| 840 | * TheUnfettered: He's willing to do ''anything'' to kill Asia if he can't have her for himself. |
| 841 | * VillainousBreakdown: He goes into insane hysterics when Issei beats the tar out of him with ease. |
| 842 | * VillainTeamUp: He allies with Shalba Beelzebub and the Khaos Brigade to launch an invasion of the Underworld in volume 6. |
| 843 | * WouldHitAGirl: Had no problems with raping and murdering nuns ForTheEvulz. He also kidnaps Asia so that he can murder her. |
| 844 | * YouHaveFailedMe: He makes a failed attempt on Asia Argento's life, resulting in his death at Shalba's hands. |

| 852 | ---- |

| 880 | * BullyingADragon: He attempts to get into Sairaorg's face and taunts him about being the "talentless son of the Bael Clan". [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom It doesn't end well for him]]. |
| 881 | * {{Delinquent}}: He's basically this, being rude to his peers and insulting Sairaorg, despite the latter coming from a higher-ranked clan than him. |
| 882 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: He isn't liked among the other young devil heirs due to his rude and abrasive personality. Sairaorg even states that everyone knows him as [[BlackSheep the family's problem child]]. |
| 883 | * HeroicBSOD: Losing to Sairaorg in a Rating Game caused him to lose the will to fight. So much so that he's replaced by Iryuka as the next head of the Glasya-Labolas clan. |
| 884 | * HumiliationConga: He first gets PunchedAcrossTheRoom when he tries to act tough right in front of Sairaorg's face. He later losses his Rating Game against Sairaorg and his servants in a CurbstompBattle, with him being defeated by Sairaorg after the latter managed to NoSell all of his attacks. And due to being traumatized by his loss to Sairaorg, he gets removed and replaced as the heir of the Glasya-Labolas clan. |
| 885 | * InadequateInheritor: It's mentioned many times that compared to Falbium, Zephrydor is sorely lacking in all regards to being the head of the Glasya-Labolas family. This leads to his {{delinquent}} behavior as a way of masking his InferioritySuperiorityComplex. |
