History Characters / DarksidersHell

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: It seems that Hell society is a kind of brutal feudal meritocracy, with the stronger demons reigning over numerous weaker ones and Demon Lords frequently going to war with one another to acquire greater resources or manpower.

* YourDaysAreNumbered: Hinted in the promotional comic to the first game. War mentions that the time of Lucifer's reign is almost over, which is why he was delivering the Charred Council's message to Samael and not the former, since the latter is next in line for the throne. However, we don't exactly know why it's ending. [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority But considering Hell's form of government]], it probably won't end well for him.

* MsFanservice: Her design is quite blatantly sexualized, having her [[NavelDeepNeckline dress very open in the front]] and prone to bouncing, she is introduced doing a SexySurfacingShot, often walks in a deliberate slow strut to invoke SexyWalk and she doesn't miss an opportunity to strike poses to better show off her curves. In fact, it's invoked InUniverse that she can near effortlessly seduce whoever she wants.

* {{Gainaxing}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDOUeZhz0yg In her introductory scene]], her breasts noticeably bounce, in a deliberate attempt to make her entrance as sexualized as possible.

* UnholyMatrimony: With Lilith.
* TheVoice: He's never seen outright, but is heard speaking to other characters, usually during moments of great plot importance.
** He's heard at the end of [[spoiler: ''Darksiders II'', chastising Lilith for her failure to revive the Nephilim as his own personal army.]]
** TheStinger of [[spoiler: ''Darksiders III'' has him heard again, musing on Fury's actions throughout the game and his plans for the future; depending on Fury's actions, this may or may not include him berating Lilith for failing to "silence the traitor".]]
** Darksiders Genesis features him in this role twice: [[spoiler: the first time as he berates and then punishes [[DirtyCoward Belial]] for spilling his guts ([[VomitIndiscretionShot in both senses of the word]]) to War and Strife, and then at the very end of the game when [[DemonicPossession possessing]] a primitive human child to speak with the two Horsemen.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: She's responsible for Abaddon becoming the Destroyer, making her this in the first game. She's also helping to facilitate whatever grand scheme Lucifer is plotting]].

** [[spoiler: She visibly cringes backward when Lucifer asks where the Nephilim army she promised is, before [[SubvertedTrope swiftly recomposing herself]] and [[TooKinkyToTorture stating she awaits her punishment with a grin]]. It's then DoubleSubverted as Lucifer states she'll receive no pleasure from her punishment, as her face shifts back to panic and she's heard screaming just before the screen cuts to black.]]

%%* {{Hell}}:

* LightIsNotGood: They are associated with bright flames which contrast them and the Angels against TheCorruption.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: In contrast to [[Literature/TheBible traditional biblical descriptions]] which mention that Hell was made after a rebellion in Heaven led by Lucifer, the demons seem to be their own race as they have existed just as long as angels have. However, as [[spoiler:the first game]] and the novel has made clear, some angels can become demons. It isn't currently known if the opposite can happen.
* TheUnfettered: In contrast to the First Kingdom, they have fewer qualms, even using such methods as {{necromancy}}.

* TranquilFury: Hardly raises his voice [[spoiler:while chastising Lilith about how she failed to convince Death to revive the nephilim]].
** He does the same [[spoiler:with Belial in ''Genesis'' after the latter gives up the means of accessing Eden to the Horsemen. It's followed up by an EvilLaugh.]]

* TheCorrupter: To [[spoiler:Abbadon]], and attempts this to Death.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler: She appears to be one to Lucifer]].

* ManBehindTheMan: To [[spoiler:Abbadon]]

* ThirdPersonPerson: Done to indicate how dumb he is.

* GiantSpider

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The Chosen weren't charged to guard the entrance to the Black Throne, but to prevent Samael from returning to threaten the Destroyer's power]]

* MookMaker: Can spawn smaller Ashworms

* SandWorm

* MsFanservice: Her design is quite blatantly sexualized, having her [[AbsoluteCleavage dress very open in the front]] and prone to {{Gainaxing}}, she is introduced making a SexyWalk and she doesn't miss an opportunity to strike poses to better show off her curves. In fact, it's invoked in-universe that she can near effortlessly seduce whoever she wants.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit has AbsoluteCleavage, shows some leg and hugs her curves. It just oozes sex.

* NiceHat: His top hat. In the third game, he can fly around on it or jump into it and emerge as three clones of himself.

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: She's responsible for Abbadon becoming the Destroyer, making her this in the first game. She's also helping to facilitate whatever grand scheme Lucifer is plotting]].

* InfernalPitchfork: He uses a trident as his WeaponOfChoice. He also likes [[ShapingYourAttacks forming energy attacks in the form of tridents]] to launch at Death, and in ''Genesis'' he's shown using it [[MundaneUtility as a fork]].

* MeaningfulName: His ButtMonkey status makes a lot more sense when you realize "Belial" is a Hebrew adjective that means "worthless."
** His trident's flavour text also references this, noting that it has the words "Thou art good for naught," engraved upon it.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Uses a trident as his WeaponOfChoice. He also likes [[ShapingYourAttacks forming energy attacks in the form of tridents]] to launch at Death. And in ''Genesis'', he's shown using it [[MundaneUtility as a fork.]]

* HighClassGlass

* TimeAbyss: Assuming his dialogue in 'Genesis' can be interpreted truthfully, he's been around for "infinite millenia."
%%* TheUndead

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit has AbsoltueCleavage, shows some leg and hugs her curves. It just oozes sex.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit is has deep cleavage, shows some leg and hugs her curves. It just oozes sex.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit is... not very conservative.

* {{Greed}}: Judging from his boss arena -- which is ''filled'' with gold and other treasures -- this seems to be a prominent trait of his. He even tries to kill War and Strife with some of his goodies. War notes Lucifer must have offered him something much more valuable than mere riches to have gotten him on board with his schemes.

* BlackSpeech: While the middle head speaks regularly, the other two heads don't. It's hard to tell if it's another language or incoherent gibberish.

* PaperTiger: Is a huge three-headed demon who certainly puts on the airs of being a dangerous being, but gets killed by Strife in just three shots.

* ProngsOfPoseidon: Uses a trident as his WeaponOfChoice. He also likes [[ShapingYourAttacks forming energy attacks in the form of tridents]] to launch at Death.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Her main attack.

* YourCheatingHeart: Sleeps with Samael while married to Lucifer. However, it doesn't seem like the Dark Prince has much of a problem with this arrangement. The book suggests that this isn't something new as she's been known to take on many lovers. Interestingly enough, Judaism portrays Lilith as the consort of Samael.

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: How canon the DLC is for ''II'' and ''III'' is ambiguous, but at the very least, Belial's existence is canon.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: In contrast to [[Literature/TheBible traditional biblical descriptions]] which mention that Hell was made after a rebellion in Heaven led by Lucifer, the demons seem to be their own race as they have existed just as long as angels have. However, as the novel has made clear, some angels can become demons. It isn't currently known if the opposite can happen.
