As to the allusion he is stronger than Mephistopheles, Gargauth was described in pre-4E sources as the most powerful devil sans Asmodeus (even before achieving true godhood), by Ed Greenwood himself in his first proper appearance (as Gargoth) in Dragon #91 (in the article \'\'Nine Hells revisited\'\'), and even suggested in Dragon #75 (referred as Astaroth, but in context, it\'s obvious it meant Gargauth, especially that the article there - \'\'The Nine Hells\'\', was written also by Ed Greenwood).

With his plan at dragging Toril to Baator to become it\'s tenth layer, the weaker (more about this in a moment) Mephistopheles nearly realized this plan in VideoGame/NeverwinterNights expansion \'\'Hordes of the Underdark\'\' (yes from a video game, but is, or at least was considered canon). With gods, and other factions, Gargauth researches secrets of Imaskar, to basically cast their spell of banishing/blocking all gods residing on the planes from Toril, like Imaskari originally blocked the Sumerian, Babylonian and Egyptian pantheons (as mentioned in the original \'\'Powers & Pantheons\'\' ). Cyric (a greater gods) outright used a tome of magic created by Gargauth, to try to find Kelemvor\'s soul.
