| 4 | Known as the "fiery pits of the Outerworld", the Hall of Demons is very lethal to anyone not following "the Devil's Contract". Whether to humongous beasts to even the smallest fiery beings, they are welcome. [[Pantheon/DreadAndValor Diablo]] is a very respected figure in this House and he often comes here to plan his battles against the angels. That said, the House of Pantheon/DreadAndValor is also connected so be warned of the nightmares around. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Due to a set of '''''[[TrillingRs RRRURRRRRRRRRRRUS]]''''' set forth by [[Pantheon/{{Humanoids}} Scanty and Kneesocks]], any kind of angel found in this House will be taken down immediately. The sole exception to this is [[spoiler:[[Pantheon/MealsNtoZ Stocking Anarchy]]]], though the two demon sisters don't know about this. Even then are the demons wary of [[spoiler:her]], for [[GainaxEnding justified reasons]]. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | [[Pantheon/BloodAndGore Illidan Stormrage]] has been banned from this house after trying to kill most of the demons that reside here. A petition by [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Satan]] was signed as a result, banning the Demon Hunter from entering this Hall until further notice. However, should many demons get out of control, they will send him to exterminate the threat even with the petition. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | [[Pantheon/FearsomeArchetypes Rosemary]] [[Pantheon/ReligiousPractice Woodhouse]] also avoids this house given her own experience. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Despite rumors to the contrary, these demons do not play the fiddle nor do they go down to Georgia to steal souls. |

| 35 | * 2,000 Years ago, in an era known as the Mythical Age, there lived a legendary demon with unmatched and unrivaled power who was feared by every being in the world; from humans to demons to spirits to even the gods, there was none who did not know the name of Anos Voldigoad, the Demon King of Tyranny. However, Anos himself became more than wary of the countless battles and suffering he and every side of every race faced from this ForeverWar, so, with the help of the champion of humanity and his companions, the Demon King preformed an HeroicSacrifice to separate the realms of the four races for 1,000 years so their grudges from the war could die out in that time. However, it takes more than death to fully kill off Anos Voldigoad as through his source magic, he was able to reincarnate into the present day and enroll into Delsgade, the Demon King Academy, where he journeys to retake his throne, making new allies and enemies alike, showing the world that the Demon King of Tyranny has returned. |
| 36 | * Originally, Anos was the High Priest of Saitama for the God of ComicallyInvincibleHero, so the Court of the Gods were already familiar with Anos and his feats. Due to this familiarity, Anos has already been in consideration for other positions in the Pantheon due it being HIGHLY unlikely anything serious would happen to Satiama anytime soon. Soon enough, the Court was able to find a place in the Pantheon for him due to the events of his world allowing Anos to fully reclaim his status in front of the entire world and prevent the genocide of his race and subjects. Having taken back his title and throne as the Demon King of Tyranny, Anos has achieved full ascension into the Pantheon. |
| 37 | * His temple is a perfect replica of his Demon King Castle, Delzogade, which in his world has been turned into the Demon King Academy. |
| 38 | * Anos is already good friends with Saitama, who greeted him when he first ascended into the Pantheon do to being his former High Priest as stated above, and thus Saitama was more than willing to show him around the Pantheon after congratulating him, but Anos declined, wanting to experience this kind of thing himself, but promised to come back to Saitama to show him [[BloodKnight a fight worthy of someone of his caliber]]. |
| 39 | * Despite being recognized as ''the'' Demon King of the Pantheon, many deities are surprised to find Anos as quite the social butterfly who is more man than willing to make friends and support them in whatever endeavor they involve themselves in. It is even more surprising when one finds out about the fact that, in his previous life, Anos killed all of the humans, spirits, and even '''gods''' during his reign. |
| 40 | * Made his first post-ascension friend in Lena Oxton/Tracer when he first introduced himself to the wider known Pantheon with one of his "[[CannotTellAJoke jokes]]". |
| 41 | --> '''Anos:''' Good day my future subjects! Today shall be known as the day that I, Anos Voldigoad, will wipe out all who shall stand in the way of my reign! |
| 42 | --> ''(appearing next to him)'' '''Tracer:''' Oi mate, you hit in the head or something? You do know where you are, right? |
| 43 | --> '''Anos:''' Why of course. Just thought it'd a good way to introduce myself with a good joke. |
| 44 | --> '''Tracer:''' You were joking? ''With that line here?'' |
| 45 | --> '''Anos:''' Well, it worked everytime I said it 2,000 years ago. |
| 46 | --> '''Tracer:''' ...Okay, someone seriously needs to get you a good joke book or else your going to get yourself killed sooner than later. |
| 47 | --> '''Anos:''' Oh please, as if killing me is enough to make me die. |
| 48 | --> '''Tracer:''' Just don't tell that to Shirou mate. |
| 49 | * When he first heard of the Demon King position in the Pantheon has been filled, Sougo Tokiwa immediately assumed it was his evil future self who has ascended into the Pantheon and went to the temple to confront him...only to find a bemused Anos relaxing on his throne. After a moment of clearing up the misunderstanding at hand, Sougo was more than excited to meet a fellow deity who was also "the kindest and greatest Demon King" of his world. On his end, Anos was more than amused and impressed to see Sougo so determined to achieve his dream and decided to stick around Sougo to see how far he'll be able to go as a Demon King. |
| 50 | * Has actually encountered DIO, and due to their clashing egos, a fight broke out between the two. However, when DIO used his signature [[TimeStandsStill ZA WARDUDO]], he quickly discovered that Anos can easily [[NoSell move just fine]] while asking "[[DidYouActuallyBelieve Did you really think that stopping time would stop me from moving?]]" Too shocked to counter or come up with a next move, DIO found himself waking up in his temple one heart rip later, swearing vengeance on Anos Voldigoad. |
| 51 | * As the representative of Demon Rulers, it was inevitable that he would encounter the various demons and hybrids and demon hunters though out the Pantheon: |
| 52 | ** His first meeting with the Sparda brothers went well enough, with Anos fully recognizing their capabilities as demon hunters, but made they it clear to both of them that if they think he's the same as any other demon they've dealt with before then he's be more than happy to prove then wrong at any time they wish. Both Dante and Vergil accepted this blatant challenge, more than willing to test the power of Anos. |
| 53 | ** Anos was very much impressed with the fact that Nero managed to break through the deadly sibling rivalry between his uncle and father before they actually killed each other. Nero, while surprised to find a demon like Anos so relaxed and affable, was more than willing to strike up a good friendship with him. |
| 54 | ** First met Trish when she crashed her motorcycle into his temple to she what's kind of person the Demon King is , with Anos [[ActuallyPrettyFunny finding this action pretty funny]] and decided right there and then she's be more than worth to have around in his life, which Trish finding this reaction equally amusing and thinking the same about Anos, both becoming good friends afterwards. |
| 55 | ** Mundus was furious to discover that someone other than him has been acknowledged as the King of Demons in the Pantheon, refusing to see Anos as nothing but an pretender to the throne. Anos's response to his attitude was simply Mundus is more than welcome to come over to his temple at anytime [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership to see if why he's known as the Demon King of Tyranny]]. |
| 56 | ** Morrigan and Lilith Aensland actually found it ''hilarious'' to learn that despite being a demon, Anos only understands love in [[FamilyOfChoice familial terms]] and has never been in an intimate relationship in either of his lives. They can be seen frequently at his temple trying to teach him the difference loves that exists, as the Aensland sisters find it improper for the Demon King not to know. |
| 57 | ** Anos was utterly unimpressed with the Godhand and their [[YouCantFightFate genuine belief that one's destiny cannot be defied no matter what]], holding the assurance that if doesn't like whatever fate has in store for him, he'll change it. When they laughed at such declaration, Anos reminded them that ''they'' themselves [[WasOnceAMan were human once upon a time]], so they don't get to decide what a naturally born demon like him can or cannot do. |
| 58 | *** Holds a special place of disgust for Femto due to [[MoralEventHorizon knowing exactly what he did to become apart of the Godhand]]. While Anos would normally destroy him for his actions, he knows that a certain some else has more of a right than he does. |
| 59 | ** Anos - while having a friendly rivalry with Lucifer due to them being equal when it comes to being a SmugSuper - feels right at home when hanging around the Seven Mortal Sins, reminding him of the demon kin he had in his previous life. The Sins are very welcoming to Anos and respect his position as the rightful Demon King of the Pantheon, knowing they can count on his help when the times comes [[spoiler: for their version of God tries to wipe out Earth and humanity.]] |
| 60 | ** Both Malebolgia and The Violator are ''disgusted'' that the Demon King Anos (or any other demon for that matter) would be affable and even supportive to humankind while being a mostly benevolent figure and sees Anos's enthronement as nothing but a farce that needs to be desposed of as soon as possible. Given Malebolgia's deceptive nature and Violator's sadistic tendencies, Anos's couldn't give a less of a damn about his opinons on him and is more than ready to sent them back to Hell. '''''Permanently.''''' |
| 61 | ** Anos's made it known that he finds Trigon, the demon lord who seeks to create a worthy demonic heir via [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil sexually violating as many women as he can]] and [[OffingTheOffspring disposing of any offsprings who does give him good results]], nothing less than deplorable. Anos is currently working with his antagonistic and heroic daughter, Raven, to find a way to destroy Trigon permanently. |
| 62 | * Is frequently on the end of Lord Voldemort's annoying and demanding prodding as a result of not being able to die even when killed. The Dark Lord sees this a a true form of immortality yet to be discovered and wishes to capture Anos to test and see how he has managed. |
| 63 | * Emilia cannot properly reconcile the fact that Anos, with so much history of death and blood on his hands, actually wants to have peace with humans despite his crimes against them, being wary of his true intentions for sacrificing his life. Anos honestly just pities the girl for having such limited thinking. |
| 64 | * Anos is seen be the Seven Heavenly Virtues as just as dangerous as Lucifer to humanity due to his past, acknowledging that while his desire for true peace is more than admirable and relatable, [[SociopathicHero his actions leave a lot to be desired]] to get them fully on board with him. |
| 65 | * Anos is one of the few deities in the whole Pantheon who can actually match Gilgamesh in BOTH power and ego. Unfortunately, due Anos's position into the Pantheon, Gilgamesh views him as an direct challenge to his claim on the one true king and thus someone who needs to learn his place beneath him. To his credit, Anos has made it very clear [[BringIt that he isn't afraid of throwing down anywhere at anytime]]. |
| 66 | * Called Fused Zamasu [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu an complete idiot in his face]] after learning what his deal was. Zamasu, after Anos somehow escaped his grasp, swore he would pay for his petty arrogance. |
| 67 | * Akko can be seen hanging around in Anos's temple, learning and taking in his advice on how to approach using magic in new and different ways. Given how he invented most of the magic back in his world, Anos was more than happy to take Akko under his wing, helping and aiding his friend despite her low capacity for the field. |
| 68 | ** Anos was also very impressed to see how progressive Luna Nova Academy when it comes to teaching magic, hoping for the Demon King Academy back at his world can take a few ques from the witches there so his descendants can go expand their minds and view on certain things. |
| 69 | * The Doomslayer, having learned of the Demon King's existence and ascension into the Pantheon, doesn't trust Anos's intentions given his bloody past, as, [[TaughtByExperience given his own history]], someone like that doesn't suddenly gain a conscious without having hidden intentions. Anos, [[NervesOfSteel directly in the face of Doomslayer]], he can rip and tear at him at any time if he feels that Anos is truly a threat, but ''will'' easily respond in kind if things truly reaches that point. |
| 70 | * Anos also gets along quite well with some of the Nippon Ichi demons, especially Valvatorez. He’s especially looking forward to when Valzy returns to his tyrant form so that he can challenge him to a fight, because he knows that the Tyrant would definitely be able to give him one hell of a fight. |
| 71 | * Can also be found in the House of Pantheon/{{Monarchs}}. |
| 72 | * ''"Whether it is providence, fate, or miracle, before my eyes, it simply prostrates and vanishes."'' |

| 88 | * On speaking terms with: [[Pantheon/DreamsAndNightmares Dream]], [[Pantheon/ProphecyAndFate Destiny]] and [[Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem Death]] of the Endless |
| 89 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith YHVH]], [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Melkor]], [[Pantheon/OtherDimensions Amatsu-Mikaboshi]] and [[Pantheon/{{Harbingers}} Fenris]]. He also has a number of one-sided foes, mainly because attacking him would be suicide. |
| 90 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Darkseid]], [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Archangel Michael]] |
| 91 | * Disrespects: The Beast, [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} Satan (Castlevania)]], [[Pantheon/LoveAndAffection Claude Frollo]], The Godhand, [[Pantheon/EyeAppearances Trigon]] |
| 92 | * Wary of: [[Pantheon/DivineRoles Eru Ilúvatar]] |
| 93 | * Annoyed by: [[Pantheon/ReligiousFigures Father Kerras and Father Merrin]], [[HollywoodSatanism Hollywood Satanists]] |
| 94 | * At the dawn of time in the DC Multiverse, [[{{God}} The Presence]] created two Archangels to help craft reality; Micheal Demiurgos, who'd create, and Samael, who's infinite will would shape the cosmos and bring light. Eventually, his desire for independence would result in a war in Heaven, where he was cast down and sent to rule over Hell. Eventually [[ToHellWithThisInfernalJob he decided to quit]], and [[ComicBook/{{Lucifer}} went on a number of quests to be free of his creator]]. Now, he seeks independence in the Pantheon. |
| 95 | * The title of Lightbringer is no mere moniker; he has absolute mastery of light, having crafted the stars themselves. As such, he has a certain kinship with gods related to light, the sun or stars, regardless of alignment. He's possibly one of the most powerful entities in the entire DC Multiverse, with the only known power surpassing him being [[{{God}} the Presence himself]]. One of the few who Death of the Endless has no claim over, though neither holds it against the other. |
| 96 | ** [[Pantheon/AnalysisAndRecords The Admins]] were pretty annoyed to learn that a Lucifer was responsible for the stars, though he doesn't need to bother them. |
| 97 | * Though [[{{Satan}} the Devil]], Lucifer Morningstar does not fit the stereotypes. He's on relatively good terms with his version of Archangel Michael (his brother), he doesn't [[DealWithTheDevil bargain with human souls]] and he's not fond of torturing souls in Hell. He's sick of his name being used as an explanation for all the evil in the world. Also, he doesn't lie or break oaths because of his pride. Still, he retains the Machiavellian attributes of most devils. |
| 98 | * He has made it clear that he [[StopWorshippingMe does not]] want to be worshiped, unlike [[AGodAmI many devils]], not wanting to supplant his creator, but [[IJustWantToBeFree to be free from him]]. He respects Guthix for his desire not to be worshiped. Still, he tolerates the rank of "Overdeity" so long as its just that, a rank. |
| 99 | * He owns a bar in Los Angeles called "Lux", which used to have a gateway to the void outside creation/his own creation. It also serves as his base of operations both then and in the pantheon, where other gods come to visit. The Flying Spaghetti Monster has been a regular customer and sometimes helps out with Lucifer's ventures to fix his tab. Sometimes he gets Moe Syzlack to help out with his bar. |
| 100 | * He's grateful towards Tartarus being a god due to being a method of punishing souls, making sure he doesn't have to do any work with the damned. |
| 101 | * Is a close friend to the other FallenAngel Lucifer, and can relate to his goals. YHVH is concerned about their alliance, since having to deal with one devil was difficult enough to deal with(plus Lucifer Morningstar's) pretty disgusted by His [[GodIsEvil tyranny]]. The Satans, on the other hand? He looks down on the one from Castlevania for being stereotypical, along with the Beast (who considers him a rival for power, being one of the other two Overdeity-level members of the House of Demons). He's neutral on the South Park version, but respects [[AHellOfATime the his idea of Hell]]. |
| 102 | * Trigon insists that ''he'' is [[SatanicArchetype the Devil of the DC Multiverse]], but Lucifer simply sees him as a barbarian. The four-eyed demon's retort was "like you get to talk, [[ExiledFromContinuity you're barely canon!]]" |
| 103 | * Archangel Michael does not like him, as with all versions of Lucifer and Satan. The Lightbringer has pointed out that he's not exactly going to bother him since he's not the same Lucifer and Michael is not the same man as his brother; both regard the other as a pale shadow of their namesake. That being said he's still [[TheSociopath as amoral as one would expect]], so the House of Angels is keeping watch over him. |
| 104 | * Despite his amorality, [[MoralSociopathy he has a code of honor]]. He will always keep his word and, as mentioned, [[VillainsNeverLie he does not lie]], but necessary will use ExactWords in his favor... still more than one can say about a lot of the other devils. |
| 105 | * Melkor's incredibly envious of him. They both seek independence from their God, but Lucifer got the farthest. Lucifer detests him for being, in his own words, "[[TheDevilIsALoser A pathetic man]] who'd [[EvilIsPetty smash everything around him because he never got what he wanted]]". Melkor also tried to force his way outside of creation through him. Lucifer was very displeased to learn that Fenris had become part of the pantheon after their last encounter and is against Amatsu-Mikaboshi for trying [[OmnicidalManiac to destroy all creation]]. |
| 106 | * Is willpower incarnate, [[{{Determinator}} utterly incapable to be broken]] and stubborn as all Hell. The only time in all creation someone managed to change his mind was Destiny when he tried to burn his book. Given this will, Darkseid is studying him in hopes of figuring out how to destroy willpower [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill and enslave everything]], enhancing his Anti-Life Equation. He's yet to make any moves however since even for him it'd be suicide. |
| 107 | * [[Series/Lucifer2016 He has made his debut on the silver screen]], [[AdaptationalHeroism having become far more relaxed]]. [[Creator/TomEllis For some reason]] he resembles [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Robin Hood]]. |

| 124 | * The fabled Dark Titan, Sargeras is a feared entity among the inhabitants of Azeroth by the sheer fact that he is obsessed with reaching the planet. In the past, Sargeras was a benevolent champion of the Titans and a force of the Light, until fighting too many demons broke him down and after learning from a group of Nathrezim about the Void Lords and their corruption of the planets by way of the Old Gods corruption, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation he lost it]].

For a long time, he wanted to do the same to Azeroth but their inhabitants have been able to prevent most attempts at him reach the planet, in truth he only desires the Titan Soul of the planet and wants to make her belong to him, in a rather twisted and uncharacteristic display of love towards someone. Many of his old gambits from him and his underlings have totally failed, like Illidan's betrayal, the Scourge turning on him and Kil'jaeden and the Champions of Azeroth reviving the Pantheon, who promptly imprisoned him. |
| 126 | * He feels rather uncomfortable to belong to a Pantheon again, even if this pantheon is unrelated to the one in Azeroth (They also go by "The Titans") but Sargeras still intends to carry on his plan of conquering and bringing forth oblivion. Of course, many of the old problems once again arose with the presence of certain people like Illidan, Alleria Windrunner, Turalyon and even the Scourge opposing him, not to mention the Old Gods of Azeroth being present as well, which sent the mad Titan into a fit of rage so destructive the House of Demons was pouring Fel Magic for over a week. |
| 127 | ** Unfortunately, the GUAD didn't waste time and offered him a high spot among them. There were a few problems before he officially joined, like the presence of Deathwing and Ragnaros, servants of the Old Gods and enemies of the Burning Legion, but in the end, he decided to be pragmatic and join forces with them for a common cause. That said, he will go after them the moment the GUAD is no more. |
| 128 | * [[SatanicArchetype He obviously mirrors Satan's role]], although he is more of a universal one and there are also other dangerous entities in his universe that rivals him in terms of power. He quickly made good allies with several demonic entities such as Diablo, Aku, The Inkwell Isles Devil and many incarnations of Satan. They don't share his [[WellIntentionedExtremist rather dubiously well-intentioned]] desire for the destruction of all creation but they don't want to risk being on his bad side. |
| 129 | * The more strange alliance Sargeras made was with none other than Zamasu, the infamous Kai who in a rather humorous twist of events, is actually very similar to the fallen titan in a lot of aspects such as being [[FallenHero former divine entities]] who lost their way after being exposed to the corruption of their universe and promptly deciding to end all creation as a result. Their appearance may be different, but Zamasu might as well be another SatanicArchetype in a divine appearance and many denizens of the pantheon were horrified to learn that he managed to find a very powerful ally. |
| 130 | * Because of the sheer might of the Burning Legion, very few people are willing to challenge it. But there was one who left a big impression in the Dark Titan and that would be The Doom Slayer. He is no stranger to slaughtering demons but when he heard about Sargeras and him challenging any mortal to see if they dared face his wrath, the marine wasted no time in entering his domain and slaughtered a high amount of demons in his path until he came face to face with the Dark Titan himself. He even managed to wound him but couldn't do much to follow up since Sargeras almost destroyed the whole temple they were residing but thankfully he was stopped by a GUAG intervention. This event reminds the deities of Azeroth about the Legend of Broxigar the Red, an orc whose tale was very similar to the events that unfolded there. |
| 131 | * While the world of Azeroth doesn't have angels per se, The Burning Legion has faced opposition by the agents and wielders of the Light, particularly the Naaru and its followers. Even then, he has come to blows with the fellow house of Pantheon/{{Angels}} since Fel Magic can easily corrupt those who are pure beings of light and they won't stand for that. Imperius, being the head of TheArmiesOfHeaven has made his goal to take down Sargeras and finds him no different from how his brother Malthael ended up, possibly worse. What enrages the angel the most is how [[Creator/RickDWasserman similar both Imperius and the Dark Titan sound]]. |
| 132 | * Hates any group of deities who fights for order and preservation and it's not strange that Sargeras became an enemy of YHVH, although in this case, [[BothOrderAndChaosAreDangerous the side of order isn't as good as the one in Azeroth]]. Sargeras aims to destroy the GUAL in time, even thinking that YHVH is even worse than the Titans were. |
| 133 | ** One would think given their similar stories that both Sargeras and Lucifer would get along but that's hardly the case. For once, Lucifer is content with not destroying all creation and prefers to stick with Chaos. The Dark Titan on his part is severely disappointed. |
| 134 | * There is another entity that he seeks to destroy, the fallen Xel'naga Amon. While at first, one would think that given their similar backgrounds as fallen deities and even [[Creator/RickDWasserman similar voices]] would make them allies, Sargeras sees Amon as no different from the minions of the Void Lords and wouldn't hesitate to terminate Amon as well. This left a rather conflicting opinion on the deities of the Kropulu Sector who don't know if Sargeras opposing Amon is a good thing or just leave the two to [[EvilVersusEvil fight each other]]. |
| 135 | * Has received a lot of opposition from other demons who are more aligned towards good, something that Sargeras finds strange but won't hesitate to imprison them like he used to do back when he was the Champion of the Pantheon. Then there were the Demon Hunters, who have been a thorn in his side for a very long time and this time they are more diverse than just the Fel-infused followers of Illidan. He still expects to crush them like the bugs they are. |

| 163 | * Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/SoldierArchetypesAToM The Doom Slayer]] |
| 164 | * Over two millenniums ago, there was a war between the Human World and Underworld. But somebody from the Underworld [[AscendedDemon woke up to justice]], and stood up against this [[TheLegionsOfHell legion]], ''turning them all back and sealing them away [[OneManArmy alone]]''. His name was Sparda, the Legendary Dark Knight. The Demon husband of the Human woman Eva, the Father of the twin sons Vergil and Dante, and grandfather of Nero. The traitor of demonkind and savior of humanity has finally arrived. |
| 165 | * When Sparda first arrived, the first thing he did was make his wife Eva his herald, as the chance to reunite with his beloved once again was too good to pass up. He also decided to bring forth his two disciples, Baul and Modeus, so that his wife would have some extra protection for when he was away. Despite Eva being a potentially powerful and exceptional [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} Umbra Witch]], Sparda isn't willing to take any chances this time. Along with reuniting with his wife, Sparda was glad to see his trusted disciples again, but he wasn't exactly thrilled to hear that they both [[Anime/DevilMayCryTheAnimatedSeries died by his youngest son's hands]], even if they hold little to any ill will towards Dante. |
| 166 | * Speaking of family, it didn't take long for [[NewsTravelsFast word to get far]] about Sparda's ascension. His sons Dante and Vergil were the first to greet him. With his wife Eva alongside him, the family of [[DemonSlaying Demon Slayers]] were finally reunited together at last. The family reunion became even more heartwarming with the introduction of their grandchild Nero and their friends Lady, Trish, Nico Goldstein and Kat. Sparda had a number of reactions when everyone showed up: |
| 167 | ** While he was glad to see his sons again, and all grown up to boot, he was rather upset about a number of things. Dante for seemly being [[PerpetualPoverty incapable of managing his money]], and continuously eating nothing but [[TrademarkFavoriteFood pizza]]. Vergil for his MightMakesRight attitude, and ''especially'' for his actions in [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 Red Grave City]]. He's also upset with both of them for what they did in the [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening Temen-ni-gru]]. But more than that, he's [[SoProudOfYou proud]] to see his sons become fine men and warriors, believing that he made the right choice in passing down his swords, his legacy, and his role for the protection of the race to them. |
| 168 | ** Sparda was completely overjoyed to meet his young grandson Nero, proud to see not only the man he's become, but for finally putting a stop to his twin sons trying to kill one another, saying that Nero was everything he could ever ask for and more as both a grandson and a fellow protector of humans. |
| 169 | ** Sparda had immediately recognized Lady as a descendant of the human priestess who aided him seal away the Underworld so long ago. He also pities Lady for how her [[ArchnemesisDad father, Arkham]], had sacrificed her mother and later [[ManipulativeBastard manipulated]] both her and his sons to obtain his precious sword so that he could [[AGodAmI become a god]]. When he heard that she thought Nero wanted to kill his father and implored him not to do so, he could see both her goodness and how deeply Arkham had affected her, giving her a sincere embrace while also suggesting that Vergil should thank her. Vergil himself was surprisingly quick to agree. |
| 170 | ** His meeting with Trish was an interesting one. While she was worried about how the Legendary Demon would react to her having the same face as his wife, and initially being [[ArtificialHuman created]] by Mundus to [[HoneyTrap manipulate Dante]], Sparda welcomed her with open arms and treats her like the daughter he never had. He even joked that, despite being a full-fledged demon created by his greatest enemy, she causes ''less'' problems than his [[DestructiveSaviour twin]] [[AmbitionIsEvil sons]]. Everyone had a laugh at that, even [[NotSoAboveItAll Vergil]] chuckled a bit. |
| 171 | ** His meeting with Nico and Kat was also a pleasant one. Meeting two humans who are well adept in [[TheBlackSmith Demonsmithing]] and [[AlchemyIsMagic Alchemy]] was something that interested him. He also doesn't complain about Nico's [[NoHeroDiscount prices]] or what ingredients Kat uses for her RitualMagic, so they're cool with him. |
| 172 | * Some who encounter Sparda are initially surprised when first meeting him. Not many expect him to look human, but it shows where the twins get their looks from. He tells them that this is just a disguise and not his [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith true form]]. Those who look at his [[TheShadowKnows shadow]] are quick to realize that he's telling the truth. Something else that surprises others is his personality. Not many were expecting the Legendary Dark Night to be as playful and carefree as his youngest son. Many initially viewed it as Sparda being so powerful that he didn't have a need to take things seriously, at least that was before they saw him in battle. In which Sparda takes a no-nonsense approach, and fights without mercy. |
| 173 | * While it was inevitable, the Dark Knight would once again battle the Prince of Darkness Mundus. While Mundus had been preparing for their rematch, he was surprised to see how furious Sparda was when he arrived. He didn't have to wonder why as Sparda had explained everything to him. Sparda was absolutely '''PISSED''' at how Mundus killed his wife, separated his sons from each other, enslaved his eldest one, indirectly caused said son to become a madman obsessed with power, all leading the twins to try and kill each other in at least ''[[RecurringBoss thirteen fights]]''. When Mundus realized what he had caused, he laughed and [[InsultBackfire declared this to be his greatest achievement ever]]. He only stopped laughing when he noticed that Sparda was with his twin sons and grandson in their [[SuperMode Demonic Forms]]. The beating was both [[CurbStompBattle fast]] and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown painful]] for Mundus, but it was {{worth it}} to rub salt on Sparda's wounds. |
| 174 | * Something that came as a complete surprise to him was to see not one, but ''two'' living Umbra Witches in Pantheon, initially believing that they (besides Eva) had all been wiped out. He later came to understand the situation after a quick explanation. Afterwards, he gave a quick bow of respect to both the bearer of the Left Eye of Darkness and the heiress to the Umbra Throne, and he admitted that seeing a living Umbra Witch in this current day and age was a pleasant surprise. Both Bayonetta and Jeanne asked if he was willing to form a [[DealWithTheDevil contract with them]]. When they did, immediately every demonic and angelical being in Pantheon felt a chill run down their collected spines. Thankfully for them, Sparda declined, saying that his wife is the only one for him. His friendship with Bayonetta would make him allies with Loki, and enemies with Loptr. |
| 175 | ** After meeting the last Umbra Witches, he would later meet the last of the Lumen Sages. This confrontation was a bit tenser. Demons naturally don't get along with angels, and a sage that draws power from Heaven didn't sound like someone Sparda would get along with. Thankfully, Balder is Bayonetta's father, so the demon and sage are on friendly terms. The two spoke for some time and grew to become good friends, both having a strong sense of love for humanity. Now both the Legendary Dark Knight and the Master of the Heavens have joined forces. |
| 176 | * As some point in time when Sparda was looking for a place to relax, he found Rodin's bar, and the two hit it off rather well. Both the AscendedDemon and the FallenAngel found themselves to be very much alike: both are very much hated and feared by their former brethren, both are [[PhysicalGod unimaginably powerful]], and very well versed in demonic craftsmanship. Sparda can sometimes be found near Rodin's either drinking and talking, comparing demonic crafts, or battling against one another. |
| 177 | * Being both a demon and traitor to demonkind, it didn't take long for Sparda to make a large number of enemies. In fact, he didn't even have to enter Pantheon to do it, as a number of demons were already aware of his actions and legend, having sworn to make him pay for his betrayal. So it came as no surprise when the Angels of Paradiso, Demons of Inferno, and both the armies of [[TheLegionsOfHell Sargeras]] and [[TheArmiesOfHeaven Imperius]] all marched towards his temple to claim his life. All that accomplished was to provide Sparda with a large number of Halos and Demonic Souls to exchange at Rodin's bar. |
| 178 | ** Various [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Hell Lords]] like Baal, Dabra, Demise, Diablo, Dis, Dormammu, Mard Geer Tartaros and practically the entire House of Demons, and a number of [[CelestialParagonsAndArchangels Angels]] and Heavenly beings like YHVH/Yaldabaoth, Malthael, Metatron, and Zamasu also hate his guts. That being said, while they themselves despise him, they cannot [[VillainRespect deny his power]]. |
| 179 | * One known demon to have met Sparda before Pantheon was Jedah Dohma. Jedah views Sparda as a traitor for going against their kind and siding with the "[[PunyEarthlings weaker race]]". Sparda, in turn, views Jedah as an absolute madman that needs to be taken down immediately. |
| 180 | ** His meeting with Morrigan and Lilith Aensland was much more positive though. Sparda revealed that he had actually met Morrigan's adoptive father, and believed him to be a true demon worthy of [[NobleDemon nobility]] and [[RespectedByTheRespected respect]]. He was also initially surprised to hear of Morrigan, unaware that Belial Aensland had adopted a succubus daughter. But it only took him one look at both [[PersonOfMassDestruction her]] and [[SoulFragment Lilith]] to understand why Belial took her as his own. He was even more surprised to hear that Belial had passed away, hardly believing that [[PhysicalGod he]] was capable of even dying. Out of respect and honor of the late Makai king, Sparda promised that should they ever need his blade, he will be there. |
| 181 | * While he is both hated and respected by many demons, there are also a number of demons that admire and respect Sparda. He found out that he wasn't the only AscendedDemon in Pantheon. There were also a number of {{Noble Demon}}s and {{Anti Anti Christ}}s here as well. Some like Spawn, Hellboy, Ghost Rider and Rin Okumura proved themselves to be incredibly effective in fighting demons. He was surprised to see that Spawn and Ghost Rider were originally human and that Hellboy and Rin are half-human and half-demon, much like his own twin sons. He took a special interest in Rin and asked if he wanted to be his new disciple, to help further teach Rin in mastering his powers and swordsmanship. Rin has expressed excitement about the idea of learning from the legendary demon. |
| 182 | ** The Demons of Pantheon/NipponIchi were a strange group in Sparda's opinion, but ultimately more enjoyable than the ones he's familiar dealing with, especially when compared to the demons of his world. He told Laharl that had he been the one to rule his Nether Realm, he probably wouldn't have rebelled. Everyone present had a good laugh when he said that, only to stop when it turned out he was serious. Naturally, Laharl was the one to get the last laugh from that. |
| 183 | * Like with other demons, so too were there angels and other heavenly beings that respected and admired Sparda. Some angels like Archangel Michael, Manwë Sulimo, Tyrael, just to name a few. |
| 184 | * After some time in Pantheon, Sparda was confronted by the Seven (Nine) Mortal Sins. Demanding retribution for stealing the names of the Seven Deadly Sins of his world, and using them to banish and seal away demonkind. Initially, Sparda said nothing, but then he got up and gave the Nine demons the most [[CurbStompBattle one-sided beating]] of their lives since their initial ascension. The only reason why he didn't finish them off or worse, turn them into Devil Arms, is because the Seven Heavenly Virtues had intervened and begged him not too. After explaining the whole story, the Mortal Sins apologized for their actions. Sparda simply said to not let it happen again. The Mortal Sins have grown terrified of him ever since. |
| 185 | * With his meeting with the various demons and angels in Pantheon, as well as becoming an enemy of YHVH, it was only a matter of time before Sparda was confronted by Lucifer. As expected, Lucifer offered a chance to join the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfChaos and Sparda declined. The two are still on friendly terms with one another, and can even sometimes be seen in Rodin's bar. At one point Lucifer told Sparda of three individuals that he may enjoy meeting. The first was an unholy vampire that forsook his humanity. The second was a human that had transcended humanity. The third and last was also know as the Dark Knight, but was completely human. He would later set out to meet the three individuals that the Light Bringer had mentioned. |
| 186 | ** Sparda had come to meet Alucard by chance. He found the vampire fight against the Millennium by himself. Curious to know more, Sparda joined the battle against the unholy Nazi vampire army. After eliminating the other vampires, Alucard introduced himself and informed the demon that he had heard of his legend and wished to [[BloodKnight test his might]]. Nobody knows who was victorious in the battle. The two would later be seen drinking and discuss their respective [[HumansAreSpecial love for humanity]]. |
| 187 | ** Sparda found Hakumen in the aftermath of a battle. Although not so much of a battle but a brutal massacre of demons. Much like with Alucard, Hakumen had heard his legend, his power, his skills with the sword and that he wished to learn more of who Sparda truly is. All while raising his sword and positioning himself into a battle stance. Naturally, this led to a duel between the two, but unlike with Alucard, Hakumen stopped the battle midway. Hakumen stated that he learned everything he needed to learn and that the two would meet again. Sparda had later expressed interest in crossing blades with the White Knight once more. |
| 188 | ** Unlike Sparda's previous encounters with Alucard and Hakumen, he didn't find [[Pantheon/{{Superheroism}} Batman]]. Batman found him. Once more, unlike the other two the encounter didn't lead to a [[LetsYouAndHimFight fight or battle]] of some kind. Batman had confronted Sparda with the expressed purpose of having him join, or at least ally with the Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights. He told him that like him, they are warriors of the blade and heroes of justice and that they could use someone like him not only for his power and skill, but he could even help boost morale. Before Sparda could question him, Batman had left in the [[StealthHiBye usual fashion]]. Sparda then began to understand why the Caped Crusader was so well recognized. |
| 189 | * After meeting the three gods that Lucifer told him about, Sparda began to have an interest in not only the Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights, but all the other knights and swordsman in Pantheon. He later made a plan to test their skills and strength before formally introducing himself. By infiltrating a dungeon and eliminating the MiniBoss, he'd pose as said boss while others are in the midst of DungeonCrawling. Many gods were in for a [[WakeUpCallBoss rude awakening]]. After some time, a number of parties and single individuals came together to discussed what they had encountered. They noticed that the demon would sometimes go for the healer, or not at all. When someone wished to fight one on one, the demon complied. It would even replenish the health, stamina and mana of others before they fight, and would never go for the finishing blow. The most interesting thing is that sometimes the fight would stop midway, with the demon leaving and the rest of the dungeon would already be finished for them. After some time Sparda revealed himself to the others, explaining that he wished to see just how strong the warriors of Pantheon really were. He wished to test them and would reward those he deemed to be of great strength. Afterwards, he offered a partnership between him and them. Naturally, they all accepted. |
| 190 | * Something that comes to a surprise to others is Sparda's apparent respect for War and Death the Nephilims, and the Ghost of Sparta, Kratos. Many questioned why he would respect someone who slaughtered an entire Pantheon of deities, and two who had turned against their kind and nearly wiped out their entire race. Sparda had to remind everyone that he too had turned against his kind and that while their campaign was bloody, they were ultimately in the right. The Nephilim threatened to destroy all of creation, and the [[JerkassGods Greek Gods]] looked at humanity as a child with a magnifying glass would to a group of ants. [[CosmicPlaything Kratos]] had [[FreudianExcuse every right]] to hate them for what they did. |
| 191 | ** The only Olympian that Sparda doesn't hate is Hades. He views the God of Death as the {{only sane man}} among the Greek Gods. He also appreciates how Hades doesn't constantly screw with humanity [[ForTheEvulz out of malice or spite]]. It's this precise reason why Sparda hates the ''other'' Hades. This animosity has lead Sparda to form an alliance with Pit and Palutena. |
| 192 | ** He also has mutual respect for the House of Pantheon/{{Heroism}} and Pantheon/LawAndJustice. This also made him enemies with the House of Pantheon/{{Villainy}}. |
| 193 | * Sparda heard about a [[Franchise/{{Doom}} space marine]] whom despite being a mortal human being, [[OneManArmy was also able to defeat the armies of hell by himself]]. He was quite impressed by this individual and wanted to meet him in person. The dark knight was adviced against this idea since the Doomguy hated everything demonic and that would end up with Sparda getting attacked. With that said, for better or worse they have yet to encounter each other. Plus, the Doom Slayer [[Videogame/DoomEternal was very busy and had other more important things to attend instead]]. |

| 213 | * Respects: [[Pantheon/FearInducers The Bogeyman]], [[Pantheon/TheatricConvention The Beast (Over the Garden Wall)]] |
| 214 | * Disrespects: Satan (South Park) |
| 215 | * Long ago The Beast was sealed into a planet orbiting a black hole by the Disciples of Light, as he claims before the beginning of the universe. Krop Tor remained undisturbed until the 42nd century or so where humanity was attracted to the planet's odd gravitational effects that let it orbit so close to the black hole. The Beast possessed the weak-willed Ood, and later Toby Zed. As breaking his prison would send the planet into the black hole, the Beast hoped to hijack Toby and escape to spread its evil. However the Doctor broke this gravity system to send the Beast's body into the event horizon, and Rose jettisoned the Beast-possessed Toby to join it. |
| 216 | * To those that it possesses, he gives them the ability to breathe in space, breath fire, telekinesis, when he reveals himself the body's eyes go red and glyphs appear on the person's face, these glyphs are untranslatable even by The TARDIS. It claims that even if its body were to be destroyed it will never die AsLongAsThereIsEvil. Much like Chaos actually, who the Beast considers his parallel in the ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' universe...something which horrifies all the Sailor Senshi. An arguably more terrifying ability of The Beast is its almost supernatural ability to know of its victims darkest secrets and futures and then use them to get into their heads and unnerve them. Experts of the Pantheon are unable to decide whether this ability is an extension of its ability to telepathically possess individuals and groups or if it is just extremely well versed in psychology. |
| 217 | * The Doctor was never able to figure out if the Beast [[OutsideGenreFoe was in fact supernatural]], [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane or "merely"]] a SufficientlyAdvancedAlien who talks a good game. Its hosts [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace able to live in a vacuum]] and text so ancient the TARDIS can't translate hint at the former. The Beast's mocking voice is sometimes heard in the House of Pantheon/{{Extraterrestrials}}, who are trying to understand it. [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialBehaviour Amon]] has attempted to reach out to him, but the Beast isn't interested [[OmnicidalManiac in what he offers]]. The Deathless Prince was interested in one member of the Extraterrestrials, [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialBehaviour SCP-682]], but only as a perfect host body. |
| 218 | * To contain the threat of the Beast and the possibility [[HijackingCthulhu he might steal SCP-682's body]], the SCP Foundation made his temple be just like the prison he was imprisoned in. They consider him anomalous and are researching ways of combating his spread of inner darkness and evil, much to his frustration. The Beast plans to get revenge on them by orchestrating a complete and total breakout of their anomalies. There've been some rumors that the Beast may be connected to [[GreaterScopeVillain the Scarlet King]], however the Beast rebukes these claims even if it's to keep up his story of being the ultimate evil. Prolonged stay in containment has led him to seek the Son as an ally of absolute darkness; he feels the two should work to free one another and spread evil across creation. |
| 219 | * The Beast [[ManipulativeBastard exploits the fears and insecurities of the people around him]]. This power has intrigued the most malicious Emotional Entities, who feed on negative emotion. The Beast has found he agrees a lot with Parallax in that sentient beings are fearful little bugs to play with, and he has promised the Fear Entity a powerful position in his army when he wages war against God. Ophidian and Umbrax are just as welcome to exploit the greed and shame of mortal beings for food, all helping aid the Beast in his goals. King Piccolo considers the Beast's goals beneficial to [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil his own]], and the Beast certainly respects what King Piccolo wants and his cunning in how he goes about to achieve it. |
| 220 | * As the Beast exploits the fears of people he considers the Green Lantern Corps a thorn in his side since [[HeroicWillpower they live on rebuffing him and proving]] [[HumansAreSpecial mortals are special]]. They would try to put him into a sciencell, but the Disciples of Light already knew what they were doing so they simply ordered a ban on anyone who might try to enter the star system the Beast is in. The Beast has also shown contempt for the Indigo Tribe and the Phantom Thieves as their heart-changing ways dissuade the darkness in people's hearts. Rather than playing on their insecurities like he usually does, he boasts on how they are not so different [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith Yaldabaoth]]. |
| 221 | * The Beast holds a grudge against The Doctor and Rose Tyler for their parts in foiling its escape, promising to make them suffer for an eternity and was reportedly quite amused at their separation in the mortal coil, it was less amused however by their reunion in the Pantheon. Though few in the Whoniverse know the Beast, should it regain Overdeity status again they shall know to fear it. The Beast is enraged at its demotion by the Court of the Gods as whatever he is, he hasn't demonstrated the reality-shaping capabilities of one. It is somewhat annoying for him that he is classed as a weaker being to Sutekh, who's similar MO and voice has led to the Beast accusing him of copying him. The two regard each other as rivals, though unlike Sutekh the Beast isn't interested (as far as we know) [[OmnicidalManiac in the destruction of everything]]. |
| 222 | * Regards the Hall of Pantheon/SelflessnessAndSacrifice with a lot of derision as his downfall came when the Doctor [[HeroicSacrifice was willing to sacrifice himself and possibly even Rose]] if it meant stopping the Beast for good; fortunately the TARDIS fell into the same chamber as the Beast's jail cell and denied the satisfaction of [[TakingYouWithMe the Doctor and Rose joining him in the event horizon]]. Sadly [[DemonicPossession Toby Zed]] and the Ood on Krop Tor weren't as lucky. The Beast holds a dislike for Gandalf due to being [[OurAngelsAreDifferent a Maiar]] and how he defeated the Balrog, while Gandalf believes he isn't any different from Melkor; just smaller scale. [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne The small scale part only intensified his dislike of Gandalf]]. |
| 223 | * The Beast arrived in the pantheon in the first place because FallenAngel Satan has used his future acolytes to summon The Beast here for his plans to battle Lucifer and The Great Will. Satan also plans to use him to secure The Great Will's throne. Though it'd much prefer being above Satan, he begrudgingly follows his orders as it is thankful to being freed from the black hole. The Beast boasts being the ultimate source of evil in creation, however it's a stretch to say so. And he's far from the only deity in the pantheon to claim to be "the truth behind the myth". Lucifer personally thinks he's completely full of shit, to which the Beast simply balks at his belief that "[[FantasticRacism fearful little monkeys]]" [[HumansAreSpecial are so important]]. |
| 224 | * Is impressed with the ascension of Mard Geer, noting that the young Underworld King is completely right in his beliefs that humanity is even lower than bugs on the totem pole. He's also impressed by the Bogeyman for bringing out the primal fears and terrors of mortal beings, though they don't work together. [[BigRedDevil Being what he is]], the Beast gets a lot of amusement from taunting and scaring those who have faced the Devil and fears the concept, especially Rosemary Woodhouse. Rumor has it that the Beast is looking to possess and unlock the inner Trigon within Raven. Trigon doesn't take kindly with the Beast interfering and regards it as "merely" a very old alien playing the Devil role up. The Beast just told him to BringIt. |
| 225 | * One of the few that knows of Nyarlathotep's actions and watches with great interest, though it is quick to remind him that while he is evil formed from men's hearts, The Beast boasts at being the source of evil in the hearts and minds of all sentient beings sentient beings in the universe. The Crawling Chaos believes the Beast [[DevilComplex is all talk]], though it accepts its claims of being inspiration for many War Gods and Devil figures across the ''Series/DoctorWho'' universe. Others theorize that the Beast is the cast-off strength of Dis, who holds a title the Deathless Prince believes rightfully belongs to him: [[{{Satan}} the Devil himself]]. As he too found himself imprisoned, the Beast is more willing to find a twisted camaraderie with the Emperor of the Kingdom Dolorus than fight over the title. |
| 226 | * As with Dis, the Beast opposes the Love That Moves The Stars, and all who claim to be {{God}}; especially the Love as He finds the evil the Beast represents antithetical to Them. How much of this is to keep up the boast and how much of this is simply them not tolerating an evil like him is unknown. Most of this is animosity from him as they claim [[TheDevilIsALoser he is destined for failure]], however the Beast claims that if they are to call any devil pathetic it is the ex-partner of Saddam Hussein. He can see how some might think the Devil of Inkwell Isle is pathetic, however he sees him as worthy of the title. Others who have declared the Beast their foe are the Hall of Angels, and Ahura Mazda [[ShutUpHannibal who rebuked his claim]] [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil to live forever in the darkness of man]] with "and I will always be the light to cast that darkness away". |
| 227 | * The Khan Makyr was fascinated by the Beast and saw him as fit for being a World Eater. She has promised him more power outside his domain, which the Deathless Prince accepts. He's quite impressed by the demons of the Doom-verse, [[VillainRespect and equally impressed by the Doom Slayer's threat]] in spite of sharing the Khan's view [[FantasticRacism of humans being lowly creatures]]. The Beast hasn't stated how he feels about [[Pantheon/{{Reclusiveness}} Davoth]], however. He also isn't above ribbing the Khan Makyr [[spoiler:for not being an actual angel]]. |
| 228 | * It has shown respect for Melkor as it believes him to be something similar to an older brother wanting to work with him in his schemes. The Beast believes he will help not only in spreading his evil influence across time and space, but bring about an eternal night. This is why he's fond of Nightmare Moon; she wants to help in his endeavor. Chernabog too, who the Beast is able to relate to more as he's a SatanicArchetype in his own prison. However [[FriendlyRivalry he considers the fallen Valar competition since they both regard themselves as the ultimate evil]]. He also considers the five Godhand rivals and boasts that they merely govern human suffering while his darkness is universal. [[WorthyOpponent Not that he isn't impressed by their ability to exploit despair and evil]], mind you. |
| 229 | * Despite [[CompleteMonster possibly surpassing the Beast in evil]], Zamasu hates him and Sirius is hated by the Beast. The latter is his rage at being imprisoned next to, and later thrown ''into'' a black hole. The former considers him to blame for the evil of mortals in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' universe. The Beast mocked him [[SatanicArchetype by saying they were quite alike]], [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist and if he REALLY cared about mortal sin he would try to help them overcome it, not destroy them]]. The Beast then claimed that at the end of the day [[ItsAllAboutMe Zamasu just wants a reality for himself]], which he'd actually respect [[AtLeastIAdmitIt if Zamasu was honest about it]]. The mad Kaioshin had heard these accusations in the pantheon so many times he just left off in a huff rather than give the Beast the satisfaction of being consumed by rage. |
| 230 | * He is not to be mistaken for the Beast of the FreezeFrameBonus, but he is fond of the fellow SatanicArchetype due to how he exploits human weaknesses and fears to achieve his own ends. And while he considers humans as a whole fearful monkeys, [[BigotryException he still respects]] the more malevolent incarnation of UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga. He's [[CompleteMonster exceedingly malevolent]] and [[DevilComplex boasts of being]] [[DemonKingNobunaga the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven]], but [[VideoGame/{{Onimusha}} he can live up to that boast]]. Not surprisingly, the historically accurate Oda wants nothing to do with him. |
| 231 | ** Within the same [[Pantheon/VillainousAppearances Hall]] as the Devil King is the ObviouslyEvil Ah Puch, who the Beast immediately struck a friendship since the Horrific God of Decay is a terrifying force who sees mortals as things to toy with and and makes it that not even death is an escape from him. |
| 232 | * Despite being his ally, Malebolgia thinks he's full of shit claiming to be an actual demon, instead "merely" being a great and powerful alien. Spawn doesn't see the distinction relevant and as the Beast applauds the way Malebolgia spreads evil it gives him all the reason to ''despise'' the Beast. [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes The Violator]] does make a distinction and bemoans the Beast as not being a "real" demon, but that's mainly his opinion and he's otherwise neutral-positive on the Beast's evil. |
| 233 | * ''"I AM THE RAGE, AND THE BILE, AND THE FEROCITY! I AM THE PRINCE, AND THE FALL, AND THE ENEMY! I AM THE SIN, AND THE FEAR, AND THE DARKNESS! I SHALL NEVER DIE, THE THOUGHT OF ME IS FOREVER, IN THE BLEEDING HEARTS OF MEN, IN THEIR VANITY AND OBSESSION AND LUST. NOTHING SHALL EVER DESTROY ME. '''NOTHING!'''"'' |

| 252 | * Complicated Relationship with: [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Alucard]] (from ''Hellsing''), [[Pantheon/MethodsOfKilling Vlad III]], [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Eric Brooks/Blade]] |
| 253 | * As [[PopularityPower the most famous vampire in all history (fictional or otherwise)]] and [[TropeCodifier the one to popularize the archetype of what our definition of a vampire is]], Dracula is treated with awe and reverence by any and all vampires who are not his enemy, and is recognized as a being not to be trifled with by all gods in the Pantheon. |
| 254 | * Is confused by the actions of one [[Pantheon/RegretAndShame Karin Maaka]], who is his polar opposite - a beautiful female [[DaywalkingVampire daywalker]] who injects blood instead of draining it. Has some overlap into the domain of the Borg Queen, leading to some [[OurVampiresAreDifferent confusion]]. |
| 255 | * Eternal enemy of all those who hunt the night, most notably Abraham Van Hellsing, the Belmont clan, Buffy Summers, and the Monster Squad. |
| 256 | * There have been calls from some of his followers to disown the vampires of ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' on the grounds that [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike they're "not actually vampires"]]. He has dismissed these complaints, as he has more important things to do than listen to petty whining. |
| 257 | * Recently spent several months in the hospital after a botched attempt to provoke the Blood Angels into "The Black Rage". Sangunius retaliated by breaking Drac's spine in half. |
| 258 | * Remilia Scarlet introduced him the other 'master' of her servant Sakuya Izayoi, [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]]. Due to his vampiric heritage, Dracula forged a friendship with him and sent one of his minions, [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow Zephyr]], to become Dio's follower as a token of friendship. |
| 259 | ** Of course, after being held prisoner in order to keep Sakuya in the GUAE, Remilia is not in good terms with him. |
| 260 | * Had a brief feud over his position with one [[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi Evangeline A.K. McDowell]] but emerged the victor since Eva found redemption. Given that there is no written rule that vampire lord must be evil it's entirely possible that she just regrouping for the new attack. |
| 261 | ** Eva has since taken a position in the pantheon, and with her influence extending into the houses of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection, Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery, Pantheon/{{Knowledge}}, and the Pantheon/CouncilOfShadows, it's unlikely that she'll bother with this post anymore. |
| 262 | * And now, as if he didn't have ''enough'' to worry about, [[Series/YoungDracula Vlad's]] been hanging out with [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Bobby Hill]]. That boy just ain't right... |
| 263 | * His former position in the mortal world is currently unfilled, because his mortal reincarnation, [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow Soma Cruz]], really won't have any of it. Drac and Soma occasionally get into arguments over this topic. Much of the pantheon have noted that the only thing stopping Soma from changing his mind is the fact that his girlfriend Mina is still alive. |
| 264 | * It is rumored that he is worried about [[VideoGame/{{Suikoden}} Sierra Mikain]] trying to take his position, but she doesn't seem to be interested. |
| 265 | ** Drac may also be worried about [[Pantheon/{{Conduct}} Valvatorez]], given that despite losing much of his power, he's still an immensely powerful vampire. |
| 266 | * Constantly refers humanity to be [[MemeticMutation a miserable little pile of secrets]].[[note]]But enough talk, have at you![[/note]] |
| 267 | * After Abel Nightroad's ascension, he briefly lost his haughty demeanor, concerned the Crusnik's power was actually threatening. Abel tried to exploit it until both realized his powers were exclusively useful against exactly ''one'' breed of vampire (an artificial one, to boot). Long story short, Abel has learned ''not'' to piss off vampire lords. |
| 268 | ** On the other hand, when it comes to Arcueid that's a completely different story. She has no qualms about killing her kin and using their corpses as her secret ingredients in her cooking when cooking for her beloved. Not to mention her power level, which compared to her makes Dracula look like an infant. In short, he avoids Arcuied whenever possible, lest he becomes "Dracula Pot Pie" on her menu. |
| 269 | * His strength seems to vary depending on when he's reincarnated with no rhyme or reason to how it works. |
| 270 | * His battle with [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia Shanoa]] showed that his OneWingedAngel transformations may well ''weaken'' him, as when he decided to start physically fighting in his normal form, he was a much greater threat than usual. |
| 271 | * Despite their antagonism of one another, Dracula's love for his son is only hidden skin deep, and if Alucard were to join him (be it through mind control or of his own will), he would welcome him with open arms. The fact that he knows this is unlikely to happen only serves to increase his hatred and by proxy his power. |
| 272 | * When he was told of Gabriel Belmont's fall which made him become an alternate universe's Dracula, he broke into laughter about the futility of faith. |
| 273 | ** [[spoiler:When word came in that Gabriel had redeemed himself in the eyes of both God and his son, Main!Dracula... went silent, he vanished for nearly a week after that, and when he returned openly declared his hatred for Gabriel Belmont. Many of his allies suspect he tried to mend the rift between him and his Alucard, but it didn't end well.]] |
| 274 | ** Despite his enmity, he's never declared open war against his counterpart because, as much as it infuriates him, he's well aware that Gabriel's power is on a whole other level. |
| 275 | * He went in a period of mourning following the passing of [[Creator/ChristopherLee one of his avatars]]. Once this avatar ascended, Dracula has often paid respectful visits to his temple, while being disappointed that [[Creator/SeanBean the other deity with his title]] has at most only done a Frankenstein work. |
| 276 | * It was speculated that at one point, [[spoiler:he took the name of UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler, as another name when he was known as Mathias Cronqvist]]. What he didn't expect was that the actual Vlad III, who used to be an aspect of him, broke out on his own and claimed his own house with something that Dracula hasn't been doing: [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaling his victim]]. Years of being his aspect still allowed Dracula to implant his legends within Vlad, so he actually didn't mind losing that part. |
| 277 | * Due to [[Creator/BelaLugosi one of his most famous avatars]], Dracula often slips into [[VampireVords a peculiar accent]], and has become friends with Ed Wood, who treats the count with utmost respect and [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe thus is always spared from having his blood sucked]]. |
| 278 | * [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Recently,]] [[Pantheon/EvilActions Ganondorf]] decided to try taking over Castlevania, and broke into Dracula's throne room to confront him. The vampire dismissed the Gerudo's boasts of unrivaled power, and they engaged in full-on battle. The battle did not end well [[spoiler:for Ganondorf, because his Sword of the Sages proved an inferior holy weapon to Dracula's [[IronicName Demonic Megiddo]] and he was stripped of the Triforce of Power, torn in half, and drained of his blood.]] From now on, Ganondorf is thinking twice about attacking Dracula. |
| 279 | * He is also one of the Lords of the Unliving in the House of Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata. |

| 293 | * He created The Demonic Race known as The Genma and he created the Genma to thrive and do as they please. It is further revealed that he also created the human race, afterwards, as mere fodder for the Genma to feast and enslave upon. At the time Fortinbras was the true ruler of his entire world and universe. |
| 294 | * He has a weaker Avatar and this creature had worked a deal with Oda Nobunaga to help him take down Samanosuke Akechi and rule the world only for this form to be destroyed by Samanosuke. He still uses this form from time to time to us a part of his power to deal with weaker foes. |
| 295 | * He also has a form known as The Man in White, a human form that is a man with blond hair, a white suit and a yellow pocket watch. He often uses this form when wanting to speak to other villains directly without the use of his third form. |
| 296 | * His third form is his true form as The White Serpent, which is his largest and [[NintendoHard most powerful form]]. This is what he uses when he decides to use his full strength to defeat his enemies. |
| 297 | * Has plans to use his Genma in collusion with other beings to make Humanity back into their original role as food to the demons. |
| 298 | * Has known to have worked with an Oda Nobunaga in the past and has attempted to ally with the one in the Pantheon. Apparently, Nobunaga grew too powerful and EscapedFromHell, taking the form of [[VideoGame/SengokuBasara his normal sword-shotgun using warlord]]. Fortinbras was [[SoProudOfYou impressed on this one]] and occasionally lent part of his powers for Nobunaga if he felt like summoning a legion from hell. |
| 299 | ** Because his targets were often people of the Sengoku period, many Gods that originated from there hated him and swore to [[EvenEvilHasStandards never let themselves get under his influence]]. Even [[VideoGame/SengokuBasara Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Ishida Mitsunari]] drove him out of their domains, with Fortinbras being unable to comprehend why as last time they succumbed to the Genma influence with no problems. |
| 300 | * Enjoys Satan's company as he agrees with his views on Humanity, he also believes that Humanity is only good as a food source nothing more. He similarly agrees with Mard Geer's view of them being less than bugs, though he does draw the line at killing them off wherever they are, due to the fact the Genma need them to feed. |
| 301 | * Is not fond of Demonic Hybrids due to the interfering actions of one known as Soki. It is one of the reasons he dislikes Dante and Sebastian Michaelis. |
| 302 | * He is bemused by the fact that he [[Creator/ShowHayami sounds like]] Sosuke Aizen. |
| 303 | * He has often appeared before many Demons in this house and other parts of The Pantheon to embrace their true nature and rule over humanity, he is often as willing to destroy those that do not (as he believes) accept their true nature. Other times he just wants others to kneel before "The Almighty God of Light" and proclaim his name. |
| 304 | * Due to the differences between his realm's CreationMyth and other realms that have a Sengoku Period within, Fortinbras came to blows with Amaterasu, who was a protector of humanity and absolutely against his idea of what mankind constitutes. For the most part, Fortinbras refused to acknowledge Amaterasu and every of her kin, and he wanted to make sure that it is his definition of man that is accepted throughout the heart of mankind, that they're just foods for the Genma. Naturally, everyone from Shinto origins are opposing him. Perhaps one day, a godly battle to decide the fate of Japan would occur between the two... |
| 305 | * At the very least, Fortinbras also formed an alliance with [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} the Lord of Terror, Diablo, and the Prime Evils]]. In addition to [[CardCarryingVillain Fortinbras liking the word 'evil' plastered on him]], Diablo also shared his views of mankind: They were their spawns, and they're just tools for whatever they planned, be it foods or assaulting High Heavens... though Fortinbras had no idea about 'heaven', [[DevilButNoGod he was the sole deity of his realm]]. |

| 335 | ** Conrad: [[Pantheon/{{Healers}} The Spring Sprite]] |
| 336 | * Opposes: {{Hope Bringer}}s, those who would ScrewDestiny |
| 337 | * Opposed by: Good-aligned members of the House of Prophecy |
| 338 | * In the world of Berserk, [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Apostles]] run rampant, revelling in their own wants and depravities. Their power comes from [[DealWithTheDevil sacrificing their loved ones]] to the "Archangels"-the Godhand. Comprised of Void, Conrad, Ubik and Slan (and Griffith/Femto), these DemonLordsAndArchdevils mastermind both the Apostles and other cults to spread suffering and corruption [[BecauseDestinySaysSo for fate]], [[ReligionOfEvil for power]] and [[ForTheEvulz for its' own sake]]. And because [[DevilButNoGod there is no angelic counterpart]], they're scarily good at it. Impressed, the House of Demons welcomed them with open arms. Griffith was already a member of the Godhand being the newest addition, though was the first one to ascend to the pantheon because [[MoralEventHorizon of just how spectacularly horrifying his ascension was]]. It also took the World Transformation in order to give the Godhand a presence in the pantheon, as they usually cannot exist in the material plane with a physical form. To no-one's surprise, they are hated by Rosemary Woodhouse. |
| 339 | * A new Godhand is chosen every 216 years, using the Crimson Behelit in a summoning that involves every living Apostle showing up, in an event known as "The Eclipse." Thankfully, this has occurred not that long ago, so the pantheon doesn't have to worry about it for a while. |
| 340 | * The biggest thorn in their collective side has been Guts. In spite of being [[BadassNormal a normal human]]([[DeadlyUpgrade at first]]), he routinely [[ScrewDestiny kicks destiny to the curb]] and slaughters their Apostles. Guts was '''absolutely livid''' upon learning that Griffith's demonic cohorts ascended to the pantheon, and is working with other gods to take them down as gorily as he can think. Considering his own godhood means [[AllergicToEvil the effects of the Brand of Sacrifice]] cannot kill him (and the agonizing pain it gives him [[TheDeterminator sure as hell won't deter the Black Swordsman]]) has made them far more concerned than before with him. Slan is still attracted in Guts ''because'' [[InLoveWithYourCarnage of the devastation he's wrought to them]], but solely on a sexual level. Despite being a GorgeousGorgon, all good-aligned members of the House of Lust consider her despicable seeing how she just wants to molest him, [[FanDisservice even in the form of troll guts]], [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil which revolts them]] ([[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale double standards]] be damned). |
| 341 | * Though nigh-omnipotent in their own world, the Trope Pantheon is not the CrapsackWorld of Midland. Because of its more hopeful and idealized nature, the Godhand are forced to be more cautious. They are working as [[CoDragons the main enforcers]] of Diabolus Ex Machina, so that [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism the pantheon would become more cynical]]. Terumi is helping them, knowing a DarkerAndEdgier pantheon means he's going to score more victories. They are heavily concerned with the Nephalem due to [[ScrewDestiny being able to defy fate]] when [[TheBadGuyWins it favors evil]], and stop [[InvincibleVillain seemingly unstoppable demon lords]] like [[Pantheon/DreadAndValor Diablo]]. The main mission statement of the Godhand at the moment is to crush the House of Hope, because the very concept that HopeSproutsEternal is anathema to them. |
| 342 | * Each of them have their own specialty in the fields of corruption, manipulation and general evil, which the House of Villains considers this an enormous help to their cause: |
| 343 | ** Void is ThePhilosopher of the group, who's main field is studying/manipulating fate and causality. He has proven a great help to the likes of the Weird Sisters for making fate a cruel mistress, and Dimentio really likes [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil what he's selling]]. |
| 344 | ** Conrad often spends his time in the background, as the more quiet and subdued member of the Godhand. He has a penchant for [[PlagueMaster spreading plagues through rats]], which led him interested in Typhus. His hope is to make Typhus an Apostle/Daemon hybrid, so he can eliminate the threat the Spring Sprite poses to them. |
| 345 | ** Ubik serves as the MindRape expert and source of information for the Godhand. He is impressed by Johan Liebert's MoreThanMindControl kills. Having experienced [[DealWithTheDevil devil deals before]], Faust wants nothing to do with him. Ubik has tried to invade the realm of Ysera for a yet unseen goal. |
| 346 | ** Slan is [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only female Godhand]], and a master of lust, rape, utter debauchery as well as cruelty and selfishness. This sadomasochistic temptress helps to promote sexual depravity and rape, putting her at odds with the kindhearted Kyu and Luka (especially Luka, who she tried to molest violently), and the concerned Mordin Solus. She gets along with fellow kinky demon [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Akasha]] and other sex demons with a cruel streak. |
| 347 | * They get along amazingly with [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions the Chaos Gods]] due to their strikingly similar M.O (except for [[Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare Khorne]], who doesn't appreciate [[VillainsWantMercy their Apostles begging for their lives]]). Ubik and [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} Tzeentch]] are friends due to their manipulation of people's minds, Slan can appreciate Slaanesh's excesses and Conrad admires Nurgle's plagues. Nyarlathotep finds them to be a wonderful development, believing it to be definitive proof to Philemon on how evil dominates the hearts of man. The Beast has a low opinion on them. As powerful they may be, they preside over ''human'' evil. He inspires evil on a universal level, and considers their domain an InsignificantLittleBluePlanet. |
| 348 | * Though [[BigBadDuumvirate equal in rank and power]], Void typically serves as TheLeader, [[TheOlderImmortal being their senior Godhand]]. It is believed that he used to be a "holy man" imprisoned by Emperor Gaiseric, who brought down his empire in the first sacrifice. |
| 349 | * Though not members of the House of Prophecy, the Godhand nonetheless have a place in it due to their knowledge and manipulate of fate. As you'd expect, they are loathed by all good-aligned members of that House, as they only wish to abuse the system of fate. Akagi and Eldrad in particular, prove bothersome due to their habit of fighting fate. Akagi and Eldrad can be seen mainly battling Void. Whispers suggest that they seek to overthrow [[Pantheon/{{Prophecy}} Destiny himself]], but considering how impossible that'd be these are probably just that; whispers. The Godhand know their power has limits, after all. |
| 350 | * As [[WasOnceAMan they themselves were transformed into the Godhand]], most believe [[GreaterScopeVillain there is some power behind them]]; someone had to start the ball rolling after all. The result of what they've found out? [[spoiler:They serve the Idea of Evil. [[TheHeartless Born out of humanity's desire for suffering]], this ungodly god born of man. Ironically, [[GodIsEvil this technically makes the Godhand ANGELS]], something the House of Angels abhors.]] Archangel Michael takes special offense at them and [[HopeCrusher their mission]], and shortly after their ascension [[CurbStompBattle showed them their place]]. The Godhand have sworn to clip his wings for this. |
| 351 | * As [[SatanicArchetype the greatest demon of them all]], Melkor has tried to exert authority over them. Though the Godhand likes Melkor enough, they feel more kinship with the Bittercold, since [[spoiler:like the Idea of Evil it is an entity born to spread misery]]. Because of what they serve and are, The Emperor of Mankind considers them near the top of his hit-list in terms of entities to eliminate. |
| 352 | * Along with Michael, they DESPISE Kratos due in no small part to him defying fate routinely and killing of the gods. However, they revile him primarily because he carries the power of Hope inside him which is the complete antithesis to their idealogy of causality and despair. One attempt on his life was met with Kratos giving them a Reason You Suck and an assurance that their fate will be the same as the Sisters he killed, by Gut's had. With that they swore vengeance, but Kratos is hardly concerned. |

| 370 | * Ascended after his death by the hands of the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Shepherds]] and wound up here. |
| 371 | * No one quite knows exactly what Grima is or where he came from, but some speculate he is the last of the Earth Dragons and wants to avenge Dragonkind's decline by killing mankind. Either his way plans are bad for the majority of the Pantheon. |
| 372 | * Now no longer having the Robin of the future to possess, Grima is reduced to using Validar as a vessel in a more ineffective fashion. |
| 373 | * Hates Cosmos with a passion, due to her reminding him too much of his mortal enemy, the Divine Dragon, Naga. |
| 374 | * Grima's true human form is unknown, the reason he doesn't use one is unknown. |
| 375 | * Has [[{{Expy}} a lot in common]] with [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Loptyr]] including relying on a human SoulJar, and being Naga's ArchEnemy, leaving many to [[EpilepticTrees speculate on their relation]]. |
| 376 | * He finds Melkor to be an interesting conversational partner, and they often speak of many subjects. Melkor is potentially the only one who knows just what Grima plans to do. |
| 377 | * Finds Hades' working with souls an interesting subject, and the two work together to create even more powerful Underworld warriors and Risen. |
| 378 | * He finds Omega and Metal Sonic to be extremely interesting Gods and has apparently taken both as potential allies. Supposedly, he intends to use them in the grand scheme of his plans, especially in the KillAllHumans part. |
| 379 | * Is considered the EvilCounterpart to Bahamut, and he plans to destroy him and Shinryu, due to Shinryu believing him to be a usurper to the rivalry between the Dragon Gods. |
| 380 | ** It is said when the end of Pantheon arrives, the forces of Bahamut and Grima will battle each other, the skies will become clouded with darkness, torn asunder by fire and lightning, and the three dragons will face each other for the dominance of all dragonkind, living and dead. |
| 381 | * Grima [[spoiler:can only truly die by his own power]]. A weapon made from an opposing dragon or a true god, like Falchion, the Master Sword, or Excalibur, [[spoiler:can only seal him]]. Anything less than that will only hurt him. |
| 382 | ** To prove it, he dared '''[[VideoGame/AsurasWrath ASURA]]''' to hit him with his strongest attack. Asura obliged, engaging him in battle with his Destructor form. Despite being reduced to a pile of bones and torn flesh, Grima ''STILL'' survived, though he needed Hades' help in putting himself back together. |
| 383 | ** [[spoiler:Being able to be killed by his own power also had the downside of allowing [[SoulJar Robin]] to kill him via HeroicSacrifice, though since both are now in the Pantheon and Robin no longer has any of Grima's influence on him/her, it remains to be seen whether this loophole still holds. Grima certainly isn't willing to risk it twice.]] |
| 384 | * Contrary to popular belief, he and Marth have never met, thus he scoffed at Marth's ascension. He holds a similar opinion of [[TheDragonslayer Dovahkiin]], saying that he was but a barbarian that doesn't understand what a true dragon can do. On the subject of getting his soul eaten: |
| 385 | --> "I fear no mortal save one. If he dares to, I will simply [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth destroy him from the inside out]]." |
| 386 | ** On the other hand, his reaction to Robin's ascension was [[OhCrap considerably less dismissive]]. Helps that he ''is'' said mortal. |
| 387 | ** On the ''other'' other hand, he was rather pissed to learn that Robin got invited to [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros the fourth Smash tournament]], bringing Lucina and Chrom along with him/her, and not him. |
| 388 | ** With Lucina's ascension, he now just thinks that the universe is out to make him as angry as possible. |
| 389 | ** It turns out Grima ''has'' met [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Alm and Celica]] in the past, back when Grima was merely the size of a "normal" dragonlike Duma. Ultimately, Alm's Falchion proved just as effective at putting Grima to sleep as Archanea's eventually would, delaying Grima's ascension for some time. This has made Grima wary of the Valentian heroes, should either or both of them ascend to the Pantheon]]. |
| 390 | ** [[spoiler:[[Pantheon/{{Personalities}} They Have]] ''and as Lesser Gods no less''. What was now firmly thought is now full-blown belief. The Universe is out to get him]]. |
| 391 | * Was deeply angered upon learning that Alexstrasza had ascended and joined forces with Bahamut, due to the fact she reminds him far too much of Naga as well, particularly her status as a HopeBringer. Her launching a direct attack upon him was enough to, while not kill him, [[ItsPersonal make him even angrier]]. |
| 392 | --> '''Grima''': "[[FirePurifies Purifying flame]]?" Your power is nothing to one who has cheated death itself. I am the one true dragon god, immortal, the greatest of all. I will crush you, show you just how pathetic your 'hope' is, and make you see all you ever hope to achieve was worthless! |
| 393 | ** [[spoiler:To this end, he intends to join in The Pantheonic Rebellion, forming an alliance with Satan to crush them once and for all. He intends to bring both Omega and Metal Sonic into this as well]]. |
| 394 | * Has formed an alliance with [[TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy Nagash the Undying]], God of the Undead, due to their similar portfolios. Such an alliance has many of the Pantheon on alert, given their aptitude for Necromancy and sheer power. Grima has even expressed some thought at allowing Nagash to serve as the general of his Risen armies, in exchange for his goodwill and loyalty. |
| 395 | * Is one of only a few dragon deities (along with Deathwing) that Acnologia respects, partially because the latter can't kill the former by conventional means, and partly for their shared opinions on non-dragons. |
| 396 | * Has an eerie fascination with [[Pantheon/{{Zombies}} The Flood]] and seeks to make contact with its [[HiveQueen Gravemind]] for some reason. |
| 397 | ** Has similarly taken an interest in the mutagen substance known as Phazon for its [[MutagenicGoo mutating]] and [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity strengthening]] abilities, and has begun to communicate with its voice, Dark Samus, alongside the Gravemind. The three of them have apparently been considering a full-out alliance, to the horror of most of the Pantheon. |
| 398 | ** Acts unusually friendly with Deathwing and considers him one of his closest friends. Apparently, Grima believes they have a lot in common; this furthers speculation on his true origin. |
| 399 | *** Has been working on his barrel rolls with the Destroyer, having been intrigued by the concept, ever since the two reminisced about how they were originally slain in a bar. |
| 400 | * Is positively paranoid about Divine Dragons infiltrating the Pantheon to get him. Grima believes Shinryu and Reshiram are secretly Divine Dragons sent to assassinate him due to his paranoia, the former's title, and [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking the latter's fluffyness]]. |
| 401 | * [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer]] is amused by Grima's persistence of YouCantFightFate, mentioning that every small change in an event can have a big impact just as much as an earth-shaking one, and that his plans being disrupted or outright foiled proves how little he understands, especially since destiny is something only those who follow Law believe in so fiercely. Grima denies his statement, and refuses to accept that fate can be changed. [[spoiler:And he has no problems ''personally'' getting involved to ensure that]]. |

| 417 | * The Powerpuff Girls have faced many an evil in their time, however, one stands above the rest in sheer menace. "HIM" is a being [[MadeOfEvil of pure evil]], [[TheDreaded so horrifying that]] his very name strikes fear in the hearts of men. [[ForTheEvulz For evil's sake]], he constantly causes chaos within Townsville and challenges the very will and hopes of its heroes. Upon learning that many people from his universe had ascended, HIM decided to see what all the fuss was and confront them. |
| 418 | * Speculated to have a connection to [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Slaanesh]], but no concrete connection has been made. He also used to be a follower of the Beast before desiring a position in the pantheon. |
| 419 | * He may essentially be [[SatanicArchetype the devil of Cartoon Network]], but he's honestly [[LaughablyEvil kind of silly]]. [[FlamingDevil He comes off as a gay stereotype]][[note]]though we don't know if he actually ''is'' gay[[/note]], likes playing with his rubber ducky in the bathtub and comes off as demonic Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Arguably the campiest demon in the Pantheon even compared to Ghirahim, he plays the CampGay devil to the StraightGay Satan from the South Park universe. |
| 420 | * [[VillainousFriendship He is good friends with Mojo Jojo]], in spite of him being much less evil and of a [[LawfulEvil lawful bent]]. [[PlatonicCoParenting The two even have kids]] ([[HoYay No, not like that]]) in the form of [[EvilKnockoff the Rowdyruff Boys]]. Of course, they've gotten into matches with what's the better means of being evil, but they keep staying friends. |
| 421 | * Considered to be the Western counterpart to Aku. The two are rivals with whom is the superior evil being in the Cartoon Network multiverse, with their competitions raising from [[LaughablyEvil who can sell the most crappy pancakes]] to [[KnightOfCerebus who can create the worst dystopia]]. It's for the best that they haven't tried to team up, or combined they may be an even bigger threat to the gods of Cartoon Network than [[Pantheon/{{Toxicity}} the Lich]]. |
| 422 | * Conquest and death are not enough for HIM. His greatest joy is to [[DespairEventHorizon destroy the hope and will]] in heroes, gaining power from negative feelings, a skill he's good at it due to being a RealityWarper who [[HatePlague can turn love into hate]], however [[EvilCannotComprehendGood he never understands the strength of]] HeroicWillpower. The inner strength of people like Finn the Human and Hal Jordan are a challenge and bane for him. He has Perfectio and the Dementors to help out with spreading despair. |
| 423 | * He would like nothing better than ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil, and as such he's friendly with Dimentio and Yuuki Terumi. HIM approves of Terumi's trolling but thinks he should mix it up like he does by sometimes [[PokeThePoodle poking the poodle]]. Keeps the heroes on their toes and the tanks of ParanoiaFuel full, according to himself. Naturally, he's the enemy to all who champion hope. |
| 424 | * While a veritable GodOfEvil, he is amazingly not the blackest heart in his universe. That honor would belong to [[{{Jerkass}} Dick Hardly]], whose exploitation of Professor Utonium and the girls along with [[KnightOfCerebus the lack of HIM's humorous elements]] makes him [[CompleteMonster the evilest being in all of the Powerpuff Girls universes]]. HIM has not remarked about how he feels about him, but would probably be annoyed that a mere human managed to be worse than the Devil himself. |
| 425 | * Though he is truly evil, HIM doesn't do evil all the time. [[VillainsOutShopping Sometimes he just wants to jazz or bathe]], and [[AffablyEvil is civil when not on the clock]]. He doesn't take kindly to people framing him when he's not up to evil, as the Gangreen Gang [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown can attest.]] |
| 426 | * His ideal world is [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans a hellish, dry wasteland]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrObWOgsGhc full of broken, zombie-like people]]; just in case [[BewareTheSillyOnes anyone ever underestimated him]]. This timeline came from the Powerpuff Girls [[BadFuture leaving for fifty years]]. He decided to mock Future Trunks in a similar vein to the girls, pointing out how his messing with the timelines [[NiceJobBreakingItHero resulted in numerous new threats, the most relevant being Goku Black]]. Future Trunks, having already heard this, went Super Saiyan 2 and [[ShutUpHannibal punched HIM in the face]]. |
| 427 | * Interestingly, HIM is one of the only people from his world to know of an [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016 alternate universe]] where everyone acts [[TheOtherDarrin and in some cases, even sounds]] different. It has been pointed out, though, that HIM was one of the few people of his world to stay almost exactly the same. Some have therefore speculated that this HIM and the one from the other universe are actually one and the same, with HIM simply travelling to another world to screw with that world's PPG. While HIM won't outright admit to such claims, he does confess that it sounds like something he'd do. |
| 428 | ** Of course, HIM knowing of this world means that he's one of many who is forced to not tell the girls about it. HIM is actually okay with keeping shut because that just means he can mess with the girls by making inside jokes to that universe. ...And also HIM [[BodySnatcher taking over the body of that world's fourth Powerpuff Girl]] is something that would make the Girls attempt (and possibly succeed) to destroy HIM a thousand times over if they found out about it. |
| 429 | * HIM also runs a diner on the side when he's not plotting his schemes called the "Otto-Time Diner". Those in the Pantheon who believe they are up to the challenge may take on HIM's riddles to receive a meal at the diner for free. |

| 445 | * Opposes/Opposed By: '''The Hall of Pantheon/{{Angels}}''' |
| 446 | * Disregards: [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Dis]] |
| 447 | * You die and go to {{Hell}} because you've committed one too many [[MoralEventHorizon morally reprehensible actions]] in your life. So what's to be expected is to be damned for eternity. Instead, for a select amount, they're instead taken to the Demon Lord, Malebolgia, ruler of the 8th Circle of Hell who gives out [[DealWithTheDevil promises of giving you your life back]]. It actually works... until you realize Malebolgia has turned you into a demon known as a Hellspawn and the Demon Lord wants to make you a herald of the Apocalypse so that he could launch a grand assault on {{Heaven}} and take it over for all eternity. |
| 448 | * Malebolgia was killed by Spawn at one point and returned to do battle against him again. Sooner or later, he'd have figured out that manipulating him was futile and that being opposed by the AntiHero was an eternal occurrence. Well, if that's the case, Malebolgia will do his best to torment Spawn and his loved ones with any means necessary. This is also the reason he joined the Pantheon; he once demanded and forced Ghirahim to give up his position of DemonLordsAndArchdevils after showcasing his powers. However, knowing that he may be useful to him in the future, Malebolgia left Ghirahim to be anointed with SissyVillain. Being fellow diabolical demons has its benefits after all. |
| 449 | * His Pantheonic arrival was marked by loud, bombastic laughing from many parts of the Pantheon, especially the Houses of Pantheon/{{Villainy}} and Pantheon/{{Otherness}}. He made a grand announcement that he is one of the most powerful Demon Lords and that any and all demons should come to revere him. Of course, he was surprised to see some demons see him with utter disgust and contempt, though most villainous ones were comfortable at least acknowledging his influence and power. |
| 450 | * While he possesses incredible power, being able to take on a group of powerful angels and win effortlessly and his influence is undoubtedly recognized, Malebolgia's special talent relies on his deceit and manipulation towards his minions and pawns. He is very clever when it comes to granting the wishes of someone, only to cruelly screw them over in the next life, something that he had done to Al Simmons and would gladly do it again. He is very obsessed with starting a War on Heaven and wants to drag the Hall of Pantheon/{{Angels}} with it, hoping to destroy it and allow the Hall of Demons to pillage and rule over what's left of it. Unsurprisingly, he opposed by every angel in the Pantheon. |
| 451 | ** Excluding angels, most humans don't like Malebolgia all too much either. Father Kerras and Father Merrin see him in outright disgust as Malebolgia revels in sadistically mocking those he is meant to punish as well as being similar to Pazuzu in that regard. He's also seen with scorn by Zafina who sees him as even worse than Azazel, a demon that once possessed Zafina and forced her into harming innocents. Malebolgia seeks to torment them in his own spare time, but for now, he has bigger issues to tend to. |
| 452 | * He does take great precaution towards the Doomslayer, given his infamous reputation for [[TheDreaded inspiring fear towards his enemies]], [[HorrifyingTheHorror especially demons]]. Given that even the Violator is not very confident in taking him on, Malebolgia is quick to strike new partnerships in an attempt to combat the Doomslayer. He's aware of the fact that he'll come for him one day, and he's not ready to die with his goals not realized. |
| 453 | * Upon arriving in the Pantheon, the Violator immediately sought to strike a partnership with him again, eager to finally get an old face to collaborate against Spawn. Malebolgia has since heaped high praises to his lieutenant for [[spoiler:killing Wanda Blake and receiving a significant power boost from it]]. They've since made up several headquarters around their domains, plotting out different methods to take on Spawn, now that he's on a warpath for what Violator had done to him. |
| 454 | * He is not unlike a lot of deities in the Pantheon who rely on tricks and false promises to get what they want. Case in point; [[Pantheon/FieldsOfMagic Quan Chi]], a demon from the Netherrealm who was infamous for backstabbing several of his allies and for instigating the destruction of the Shirai Ryu and sullying the reputation of the Lin Kuei. Malebolgia himself became a sour reminder for Scorpion, who finds the Demon Lord to be very similar to Quan Chi in their habit of deceiving and ruining others for their amusement and swears to eliminate him once and for all, even forming an alliance of convenience with Spawn for that matter. |
| 455 | * Prideful as he is, he doesn't have much of a high opinion about Melkor. The Dark Lord himself, however, thinks that given how he relies more on lying and trying to deceive others, Malebolgia really has no position to compare himself. Malebolgia, however, shot back at Melkor for shrewdly stating that whenever he has to fight against someone who actually poses a threat, [[DirtyCoward he chickens out]] unless he has to prove his superiority towards his followers. This actually prompted Melkor to suddenly attack him, with Malebolgia quickly making a getaway. |
| 456 | ** That said, he is a member of the Pantheon/GUAEMastermind due to his incredible power and influence. Oh sure, him and Melkor still have some beef, but given they have similar opponents, for the time being, they're going to have to work together in this case. He does, however, have plans to backstab Melkor once the forces of Good are wiped out. Then again, so is most of the GUAE. |
| 457 | * Intrinsically, he is opposed to YHVH. He personally finds it rather amusing that he's similar to the [[GodIsEvil God of his Universe]], who's also no better than YHVH. On the other hand, he's rather conflicted about Lucifer. He expresses some respect towards his power and leadership, though he finds his encouragement towards humans to be rather annoying and rather out-of-touch for [[SatanicArchetype someone like him]]. On the other hand, YHVH sees Malebolgia as another one of Melkor's lackeys and Lucifer just sees him with seething disgust. |
| 458 | * His deceptive mind had him clashing against the working ethics of the Incubators at one point. Them, especially Kyubey stated that at the very least, [[ExactWords they do mean what they say]] and try to stop the universe from ending. Malebolgia instead retorted that they're [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist instead doing it for self-sustainance]] and them tricking {{Magical Girl}}s is not far away from what Malebolgia does to damned souls. |
| 459 | ** Naturally, this led to him being opposed by the Puella Magi, though Homura Akemi personally has out on him the most. She hates Malebolgia for simply reminding her of Kyubey and how his actions of trickery led to the other Puella Magi taking in so much despair. Malebolgia himself found the suffering of the girls funny on his part, which prompted Homura to [[TalkToTheFist blast him back to Hell]]. Still, just because he lost to Homura doesn't mean Malebolgia is siding with the Incubators, given that the Violator already has his feud against the girls. |
| 460 | * He gets along splendidly with Molag Bal, considering the fact that both of them get a knack out of tormenting souls [[ForTheEvulz for the hell of it]] and committing condemnation without any sort of fairness. Malebolgia also seems to like Coldharbour for somewhat reminding him of his hell. |
| 461 | ** This, of course, bought him into enmity to the Daedric Princes, particularly Meridia and Jyggalag for reasons more than just Malebolgia and Molag Bal are allies. Meridia sees him with open content due to the depravities he casually commits and sees his way of restricting individuals as Hellspawns as some form of {{Necromancy}}. Jyggalag being an enforcer of Law opposes Malebolgia for representing the [[ChaosIsEvil malicious side of Chaos]] and that Malebolgia's skills in tricks and manipulation may be an obstacle to Jyggalag's mind as each seeks to conquer the Pantheon with the use of their intellect. |
| 462 | * Is impressed to see there are [[Pantheon/{{Dimensions}} two different versions of Hell]]. The one based on Literature/TheDivineComedy was one of immediate comfort for him, given that Malebolgia rules over the 8th Circle (representing malice and fraud) and was further amused that's it's name, Malebolge, [[MeaningfulName was the inspiration for his own name]]. [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark The other Hell]], on the other hand, had Malebolgia confused. He found it weird imagining Hell being a [[AHellOfATime fun and enjoyable place]] (or at least for those who aren't demons), but still, demons enjoy it as well. He doesn't have much to comment on, given that Malebolgia already has an iteration of Hell that he can easily dwell under. |
| 463 | ** And no, Dis isn't the ideal {{Satan}} for him. The Satan he knew terrified him to no end, Dis, on the hand, was reduced to a sobbing, pathetic and eternally confined shell of his former self, remaining in the lowest pits to suffer for personally defying and insulting God. Still, he does have some respect for other iterations of {{Satan}}, given that they're actually competent and respects Damien Thorn for actively trying to oppose his destiny of losing. |
| 464 | * [[VideoGame/MortalKombat11 At one point, he was imprisoned in the Netherrealm]] alongside Kronika by Spawn. Seeking vengeance, Malebolgia decided to strike an alliance with the Mistress of Time. All things considered, being with Kronika had Malebolgia very interested in her Hourglass, and he wants that badly. For now, however, he's working with Kronika in fighting against Spawn and Kombatants who are vehemently opposed to the Mistress of Time. Once that's been settled, Malebolgia will swipe the Hourglass from Kronika and use it to assure Hell the ultimate victory against Heaven. |

| 511 | * The Seven Mortal Sins are the Demon Lords who rule over Hell. When the Archangel Lucifer was cast down from Heaven and fell into Hell, the Sins fought against her and sealed away her powers. However, Lucifer, with the aid of a demon named Leviathan and a human girl named Maria Totsuka, managed to defeat the Sins one by one and eventually allied with five of them against their former leader, Belial, [[spoiler:who was revealed to be a fallen angel formerly named Satanael and had been secretly working with Heaven to enact God's plan to purge both Hell and Earth]]. After the Sins [[spoiler:defeated the Archangel Michael]], Lucifer and Leviathan officially became the Demon Lords of Pride and Envy respectively, while Belial and Astaroth, the Demon Lord of Melancholy and the only remaining Sin who had remained loyal to her, accepted to be exiled to Earth. |
| 512 | * Related to the Seven Mortal Sins: |
| 513 | ** Fresh off her victory over the other Sins and subsequent ascension to leader, Lucifer's ego was as big as it had ever been. As far as she was concerned, it would be a trifling matter for her to overthrow the pretenders in the Grand United Alliance Of Chaos and install the Sins as the rightful leaders. She marched the other six members right up to the gates of the Labyrinth of Amala and challenged the Great Darkness and the other Lords, and this resulted in the most [[CurbStompBattle devastating beatdown the Sins had ever received]]: the Lords of Chaos decisively crushed the Sins, and Lucifer herself couldn't put so much as a scratch on her counterpart while she and Leviathan got beaten to an inch of their lives. She ultimately made the agonizing decision to accept the Great Darkness's mercy, she and the other Sins joining the Morningstar Battalion [[JoinOrDie in exchange for their survival:]] even so, Lucifer vowed right to the Great Darkness's face that she would never stop getting stronger, and that one day she would surpass him and rectify this humiliation. To this, the Great Darkness [[PsychoticSmirk smirked]], answering that he was looking forward to it. |
| 514 | ** The Sins get along quite well with Chloe von Einzbern and Irene Adler. Asmodeus in particular approves of Chloe's obsession with french kissing girls and her [[LovableSexManiac surprisingly extensive knowledge about sex]] despite her young age. She was especially ecstatic to learn about how, in the Nasuverse, bodily fluids can replenish and transfer mana and the best way of doing it is through sex. Irene Adler has also gained their respect due to her cunning and intellect, which allowed to her to occasionally outsmart Sherlock Holmes himself. However, Leviathan has occasionally lashed out at Irene, specifically her ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' incarnation, due to perceiving her as a rival for Lucifer's affection, although Irene is largely just amused by her outbursts and the other Sins having to restrain her. |
| 515 | ** The Sins are on bad terms with Azmodan, the Lord of Sin who is basically the amalgamation of the SevenDeadlySins. Pleased by their roles and looks, the Lesser Evil of Sin gave them an offer to serve him in exchange for access to his temple, in which they could further increase their power from sins done by Pantheon members and mortals alike. However, all of them rejected his offer to serve as his replacement heralds and were outright disgusted at the notion of calling him their "master", which has resulted in them being enemies with him from then on. |
| 516 | ** The Sins are also enemies with Father and his Homunculi, viewing him as being no different from the God they oppose and the Homunculi as near-mindless servants with a strong resemblance to the Seven Heavenly Virtues from their own universe. However, they managed to gain an ally in Greed the Avaricious after learning of how [[spoiler:he had defected from Father and simply wishes to have friends]]. |
| 517 | ** All of the Sins (especially Satan) strongly dislike the Satan who serves YHVH. Being opposed to the God of their own universe, the Sins regard the idea of working directly for YHVH by judging nad punishing humans on his behalf as well as serving as his scapegoat by facilitating a proxy war under YHVH's complete control. The Sins typically try to appeal to his Zayin persona, who shows a much kinder side to humanity than the uncaring force of Judgement he normally embodies. Unfortunately, their encounters with Satan typically result in them having to fight him rather than convincing him to join their side. |
| 518 | ** Among their enemies in the Pantheon, the Seven Mortal Sins have a strong enmity with the Phantom Thieves of Heart. The Thieves, after all, specialize in brute-force removing the corruption that the Seven spread, and have a nasty habit of leaving the victims of these Changes of Heart to wallow in their guilt and despair afterwards. Despite the [[JerkassVictim nature]] of the Thieves' usual clientele, even those like Lucifer [[EveryoneHasStandards think their actions are rather cruel]]. Among the Thieves, there is particular bad blood between Asmodeus and Ann Takamaki, particularly after the demon lord accurately pointed out Ann's use of lust to manipulate people for her own ends. Asmodeus has her faults, sure, but at least her lust is honest. Ann tends to blow her off as a 'deranged, predatory nymphomaniac'. Mammon and Haru have a rivalry as well, but theirs is far more subdued, both due to the [[{{Ojou}} natures]] [[AntiVillain of those involved]]. Haru feels for Mammon's plight, but she can't sit idly by while Mammon swindles others. Mammon likewise understands Haru's point of view, but she can't simply give up on trying to provide for her children, so she won't admit defeat so easily. |
| 519 | ** The Sins are also opposed by honorable and benevolent humans like Shazam, who captured the Deadly Sins of his world inside the Rock of Eternity, Link, who embodies the virtue of Courage and Samurai Jack, who conquered his inner darkness and achieved spiritual balance. Although the Sins don't really dislike any of them, they have on occasion clashed with them as they get in the way of the Sins' work. |
| 520 | ** Manwë has attempted to get the Sins to turn to the side of righteousness, partially out of guilt for failing to prevent Melkor's fall from grace. However, the Sins have all declined any offers of redemption due to their bad experiences with the God of their world. |
| 521 | ** The Sins were once confronted by Riku Asakura/Ultraman Geed, who is the son of Ultraman Belial, his universe's resident {{Satan}}. Having heard that their group included someone named Belial, he sought them out in order to see if they were a dangerous threat. Fortunately, he quickly realized that, although not exactly heroic, the Sins are relatively benign and even friendly. Upon hearing his story, the Sins came to respect him for defying his father and choosing to do what's right. |
| 522 | ** All of the Sins were rather disgusted upon learning of Dis. Lucifer and Satan in particular were disturbed by the information that they might be aspects of Dis that had spawned off of him. According to the mutterings of [[Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} Hermaeus Mora]] translated by Doctor [[Pantheon/{{Language}} Louise Banks]], Lucifer represents his competitive spirit and desire to beat others at their own game, while Satan represents his righteous fury and desire to fight strong opponents. Neither of them is comfortable thinking about it and the Sins as a whole prefer to avoid Dis as much as possible. |
| 523 | ** When Laharl learned of the ascension of nine {{noble demon}}s, he sought out the Mortal Sins in order to defeat them and firmly establish himself as the undisputed future Overlord. However, his immense fear of large breasts resulted in him fleeing (he insists on calling it a [[InsistentTerminology "tactical withdrawal"]]) from them almost immediately. The Sins, for their part, regard him as rather cute and Beelzebub, the only member of the group that he's willing to directly interact with, is on friendly terms with him. |
| 524 | ** Their (friendly) rivalry with the Seven Heavenly Virtues continues in the Pantheon, with the Angels trying (and usually failing) to train a Messiah to save humanity from the Sins. Belphegor was thrilled to see Sandalphon, the Demon Lord and Angel entering a spirited brainstorming session like old times. Oddly, Lucifer seemed a little misty-eyed after their initial confrontation: when pressed, she shrugged. |
| 525 | -->''"Those were the Virtues I knew. Bumbling, incompetent bootlickers for God, sure, but at least they put their money where their mouths are and actually do give a damn about humanity like they claim."'' |
| 526 | * Despite Leviathan's claims to the contrary, she is not Lucifer's closest companion. That would be the Sins' High Priestess/Herald Maria Totsuka. Formerly an ordinary human, Maria had her heart removed by Lucifer and made functionally immortal, forced to serve Lucifer in her campaign to take over the Sins. As any damage to her is instantly undone, threatening Maria to try to get to the Sins is a foolish prospect, especially since Lucifer will [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge tear through anyone and anything to destroy the one who did so.]] |
| 527 | * Exclusive to Lucifer: |
| 528 | ** Despite having lost horribly to him, Lucifer has actually struck up a genuine friendship with her rival/employer, not least due to their views on humanity: while Lucifer doesn't ''quite'' believe that HumansAreSpecial like the Great Darkness does, she's still ultimately fond of them, [[HumansAreFlawed despite their flaws]]. In fact, the reason she fell was due to defying God, who had declared humanity beyond saving and decided to wipe them out: Lady Lucifer was the only one who had protested. The Great Darkness meanwhile has a great amount of respect for his newfound rival. Not only will she keep him on his toes and stop him from getting complacent, as far as he's concerned, she is Chaos at its absolute best: bold, intelligent, talented and individualistic, with fathomless ambition, a thirst to prove herself and a strong dislike for corrupt authority. If the impossible were to happen and she were to surpass him, he would be secure in the knowledge the GUAC would be in good hands. Of course, he has no intention of losing to her... |
| 529 | ** When Lucifer heard about another group called the Seven Deadly Sins and, specifically, about Escanor, the Lion's Sin of Pride, she sought him out in order to test his strength for herself. However, she was rather confused when she encountered him and found him to be a scrawny bartender rather than a mighty warrior. However, after he explained the nature of his power to her, she chose to wait until morning to properly challenge him. At sunrise, Lucifer was amazed and excited when she witnessed his transformation and change in demeanor. The fight itself was rather evenly matched, the two matching each other blow-for-blow: unfortunately this was to Lucifer's detriment as she was unable to defeat him before [[HourOfPower noon]], at which point Escanor ended it with a single blow. Regardless, Lucifer remains on good terms with him and is determined to one day defeat him at his full strength. |
| 530 | ** Until the time Naoki Kashima accepts his destiny and becomes Grand General of the Morningstar Battalion, the position is filled by Lucifer. It's not what she had been aiming for, and she has no intention of staying in her designated position, but for the moment, it's acceptable. |
| 531 | * Exclusive to Leviathan: |
| 532 | ** Lady Lucifer's self-proclaimed sidekick and lover Leviathan is the Sin of Envy, and is usually content to just follow Lady Lucifer around like a lovesick puppy. She pushes hardest for Lucifer to take her revenge on her 'employer', despite Lucifer telling her time and again that the Sins aren't nearly ready for another go at the Lords. |
| 533 | ** To Lucifer's annoyance and the Great Darkness's bemusement, Leviathan has taken it upon herself to accost him at every opportunity: whether it's because of the pummeling she and her beloved Lucifer had endured at his hands or the [[GreenEyedMonster friendship the two have forged]] is unknown. One way or another, Levi ''really'' doesn't like him, and more than once Lucifer has had to drag her away by the ear, firmly telling her to ''[[BullyingADragon quit picking on the physical incarnation of Chaos, please]]''. Not helping the situation is the time Lucifer tried to remind Leviathan [[IncompatibleOrientation she has no interest in men]]...not noticing the [[{{Troll}} grinning Great Darkness taking the form of Louisa Ferre behind her back.]] Lucifer had to physically restrain the furious, [[{{Angrish}} blabbering]] Levi. |
| 534 | ** Upon hearing of Lucifer's encounter with Escanor, Leviathan decided to track down her own counterpart in order to see what she was like. When she discovered that Diane, the Serpent's Sin of Envy, is a [[CuteGiant cute]] [[GiantWoman giant girl]], Leviathan was convinced that she would become her rival for Lucifer's affection and attacked her. After a brief fight, Diane made it clear that she was already [[OfficialCouple committed relationship]] with King and has no interest in women anyway. The two subsequently struck up a friendship and Leviathan, as an apology, cooked Diane a meal. Although Diane was hesitant to eat it due to how hideous it looked, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that it actually tasted quite delicious and even suggested that Leviathan should consider working at the Boar Hat for at least a short time, to which Leviathan replied that she wouldn't mind coming over at least. |
| 535 | ** Initially, Levi found a somewhat comfortable position as Lucifer's NumberTwo running the Morningstar Battalion when Lucifer was unavailable. [[GeneralFailure After one too many embarrassing screwups]], however, she was shunted off to the Yandere Squad in hopes of limiting the damage she can cause. She earned her way back into the Battalion when she used the demonic sea life she reigns over to [[BigDamnHeroes turn the tables in the GUAC's favor]] during an incredibly lopsided battle against the GUAL's Templar Order: realizing Levi's niche, the Great Darkness bestowed on her the title of Fleet Admiral, and gave her command over the aquatic operations of the GUAC; [[NotSoHarmlessVillain she has shown remarkable success in her new role.]] |
| 536 | ** Leviathan likewise hates King Piccolo; he had taken her place as Lucifer's second-in-command after her aforementioned removal from the Battalion, and despite Lucifer's constant assurances that she and Piccolo [[TeethClenchedTeamwork don't like each other all that much]], Levi remains jealous of the Namekian. |
| 537 | * Exclusive to Satan |
| 538 | ** The fiery-tempered Satan, Mortal Sin of Wrath, is perhaps the most dedicated to the GUAC's cause after the Sins' absorption into it. All it had taken was the Great Darkness describing the sins of YHVH, and Satan was foaming at the mouth for a shot at Him. She serves now as a trainer for the Morningstar Battalion, and a [[DrillSergeantNasty ruthless, unforgiving one]] at that. Even the likes of the Demi-Fiend is out of breath by the end of her regiments. She enjoys sparring with her counterpart in the Lords, Senator Steven Armstrong: she may not really care one way or another about his philosophy lectures, but [[BloodKnight DAMN, he can throw a punch.]] |
| 539 | ** When Satan learned about another group called the Seven Deadly Sins who are led by a Demon named Meliodas, the Dragon's Sin of Wrath, she immediately sought him out and, despite her initial confusion at his child-like appearance, challenged him to a fight. The battle quickly escalated and the two ended up damaging several temples until it was finally put to a halt by the arrival of both the Mortal Sins and the Deadly Sins. Ultimately, Satan and Meliodas developed a respect for one another, as they both came to see each other as {{worthy opponent}}s and Meliodas has remarked that, similar to him, she's pretty [[NobleDemon noble]] and [[SatanIsGood kind]]. The frequently engage in rematches, although measures are taken to ensure that their fights stay contained. |
| 540 | ** In her off-time Satan enjoys volunteering at the House of Beasts, caring for the cute animals [[HiddenDepths she has a weakness for]]. It was there she had met Fluttershy, and despite the pegasus initially being nervous around the HotBlooded demon lord, they quickly bonded over their mutual likes. |
| 541 | ** Satan is friends with Atrocitus and she can often be seen discussing with him about how to properly use their anger against their enemies. Atrocitus regards her as an ideal candidate for becoming a Red Lantern, although Satan herself is reluctant to accept his offer due to not wanting to be dependent on a power that is not her own. |
| 542 | * Exclusive to Asmodeus: |
| 543 | ** Impish and seductive, the Mortal Sin of Lust Asmodeus is actually less inclined to simply indulge herself than one would think. She spends very little time in the House of Lust, instead working her charms on those of other Houses and luring them to carnal impulses. She sees little point, after all, in 'preaching to the choir'. Between managing sex shops and brothels with the help of Mammon, pole-dancing for multiple establishments, starring in erotic videos, moonlighting as a sex therapist and being a freelance prostitute, many are quite surprised by the demon lord's ''insane'' work ethic, despite the dubious nature of said work: Asmodeus's grasp of 'consent' can be... tenuous at times. |
| 544 | ** Asmodeus quickly became '[[FriendsWithBenefits friends]]' with Kyu Sugardust, and with said friendship came both a rivalry with Princess Cadance and a hand in the situation on the [[Manga/ParallelParadise parallel world]] the two are quarreling over. The demon lord of Lust was properly horrified by the idea of so many people [[SkewedPriorities dying as virgins]] and has thrown her full support behind Kyu's approach to the problem. Despite her admiration for her new 'senpai', Kyu still can't help but be unnerved at times at how cutthroat she can be: Asmodeus has suggested sabotaging the efforts to kill the God of Deep Jealousy, citing the need to break the curse as a motivating factor for the girls to mate. |
| 545 | ** Conversely, Asmodeus dislikes the Dazzlings, as they are diametrically opposed to each other: while the Dazzlings invoke hatred and spite through their music, Asmodeus spreads lust and almost considers herself a LoveGoddess. |
| 546 | ** Alipheese Fateburn XVI, Asmodeus's corresponding Lord, is honestly kind of weirded out by her: while she had secured a handy victory during their fight by constricting the demon lord in her crushing coils, [[TooKinkyToTorture Asmodeus didn't seem to mind all that much]]. |
| 547 | ** Out of curiosity, Asmodeus sought out her counterpart in the Seven Deadly Sins, Gowther, the Goat's Sin of Lust, in order to see what he was like. She was quickly smitten with his effeminate appearance and tried to seduce him. However, Gowther declined her offer due to [[spoiler:his past trauma over losing Nadja]]. Unfortunately, Asmodeus was instead [[ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou turned on by his rejection]] and tried to force herself onto him, which escalated into a brief battle. Forunately, the arrival of Lucifer quickly broke up the fight, and she scolded Asmodeus for once again trying to force herself upon an unwilling person. Surprisingly, Gowther was quite forgiving over the whole incident and even remains on friendly terms with her, although he repeatedly has to fend off her advances whenever they come across one another. |
| 548 | ** Asmodeus doesn't particularly like either the archdevil and other demon who share her name. Being an enemy of the GUAC, the Prince of Darkness quickly came to regard her as an enemy, although she already disliked him anyway due to [[HeManWomanHater his misogyny]]. She similarly came to dislike Asmodeus, one of the Princes of Hell, rather quickly, as she doesn not approve of his {{sadis|t}}m and {{smug|snake}}ness. |
| 549 | ** Asmodeus puts her wiles to work as Lucifer's spymaster, coaxing sensitive information out of weak-willed members of the other Alliances: her ability to tell what is and is not the truth with a sniff certainly comes in handy. The information she's gathered has been the catalysts for many disastrous defeats for the other Alliances. |
| 550 | * Exclusive to Mammon: |
| 551 | ** As shrewd and cutthroat as she is maternal and genial, Mammon lends her financial aid to the Morningstar Battalion, helping them stretch their already [[OffscreenVillainDarkMatter near-bottomless funds]] even further. When not doing so, she brews all manner of potions and poisons for the troops to use. Mammon also struck up a friendship with the Leader of the 3rd Street Saints; as their sinful counterpart (Greed), Mammon was quite impressed by their ability to transform opponents into money via their Bling-based powers, a devastating and economical ability. She's given them hints on how best to invest their income to further fill their coffers...advice that comes at a modest fee, of course. |
| 552 | ** Despite her penchant for greed, Mammon is one of the more sympathetic sins: a mother stuck with a massive tab after her husband died/vanished, she needed some way to care for her myriad children. The vast amount of the money she's garnered through her cutthroat methods go to them. Despite the Sins' herald Maria Totsuka having given her a lecture on caring for her children herself, old habits die hard, and she still finds herself preying on the more gullible members of the Pantheon from time to time. |
| 553 | ** Mammon is only on reasonably good terms with Ban, the Fox's Sin of Greed. He was quite sympathetic to her circumstances and was happy to learn of how she genuinely cares for her children. However, the two did end up having a brief scuffle after Ban accidentally damaged (and intentionally stole) some her property. When Mammon caught up to him, Ban boasted that he'd endure any damage she could do to him: unfortunately, 'damage' wasn't what Mammon had in mind for him. Instead, she crammed a potion down his throat and '[[BrainwashedAndCrazy hired]]' him to help look after her children. It took Meliodas [[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim pummeling Ban]] to snap him out of the effects of Mammon's hypnosis. |
| 554 | ** Mammon frequently works together with the Corpus, an organization that worships the very concept of profit. Through them, she has engaged in various money-making activities such as secretly being behind all of the extremely popular mass-marketing/merchandising (softcore porn pictures, statues/figurines, etc.) to the rabid fanbases of all nine of the Mortal Sins, including herself. However, they've also critisized her for occasionally losing by, for example, using only the best-quality materials for her merchandise, putting them financially in the red, so to speak, due to the losses from their manufacture and sale. |
| 555 | * Exclusive to Beelzebub |
| 556 | ** The House of Food had a collective OhCrap moment when it became known that another incarnation of Beelzebub had ascended into the Pantheon, Sure enough, the tiny demon lord showed up soon afterwards and proceeded to devour her way through enough food to feed a small army single-handedly... before throwing up and having to be carted away to the House of Health, so that she could be treated for a nasty case of indigestion. They learned from her that despite having a monstrous appetite and ability to pack away several times her own weight in food, an insatiable hunger doesn't translate to a truly bottomless belly. The very definition of gluttony, after all, is eating ''to excess''. This was, as she described, her curse: she can eat and eat until her stomach hurts and she can't move or have another bite, and ''[[HorrorHunger she never stops being hungry]]''. |
| 557 | ** Offered medicine to help mitigate her cravings, however, Beelzebub was rather leery: it would likely negatively affect her standing among the Sins, and not having her appetite after spending eons with it would be... weird. |
| 558 | ** Poor Beelzebub is incredibly scared of her counterpart in the Lords of Chaos: her first encounter with the huge, hideous fly had quickly devolved into her running away in tears from him as he chased her around raining lightning bolts down around her. Lucifer, surprised that the [[NervesOfSteel usually-stoic]] Beelzebub had such a reaction, questioned her after the fact and learned the little demon's embarrassing secret. Pteronarcophobia: [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes she is absolutely, positively terrified of]] [[{{Irony}} flies.]] Overall, Beelzebub and the Lord of Chaos who shares her name have surprisingly little in common: whereas the Prince of Lies is characterized by his UndyingLoyalty to the Great Darkness, Beelzebub is more concerned with eating well. Honestly, she considers the huge fly more gross than anything. |
| 559 | ** Beelzebub gets along very well with Merlin, the Boar's Sin of Gluttony. After explaining that the sin refers to her hunger for knowledge rather than food, Merlin expressed an interest in learning more about Beelzebub's capability to awaken the full potential power of her fellow demons. As a result, the two occasionally spend time together, talking about the differences in how their shared sin has defined them and, unsurprisingly, grabbing something to eat. |
| 560 | ** When not cooking for the GUAC's forces (or eating them out of house and home), Beelzebub makes use of her innate and unique ability to awaken the sleeping potential of demons that the Great Darkness deigns to reward. For their service in [[Fanfic/PantheonRagnarok the Ragnarok incident]], for example, the Dazzlings were rewarded with the ability to transform into their true Siren forms whenever they pleased and a massive boost to the the potency of their songs. |
| 561 | * Exclusive to Belphegor: |
| 562 | ** Belphegor is... well, [[LazyBum Belphegor]]. The Sin of Sloth usually can't even be arsed to get fully dressed, let alone get involved in the GUAC's war. She wasn't even part of the initial strike against the Lords, having lost interest in the middle of Lucifer's RousingSpeech and wandered off before all hell had broken loose. When a furious, thoroughly-bruised Lucifer confronted her for her desertion, Belphegor shrugged, pointing out that unlike the other Sins, she hadn't ended up getting beaten up. Another win for Sloth, and she didn't even have to do anything! |
| 563 | ** Despite the benefits afforded to the Sins under the employ of the GUAC, such as cleaning services for her room, Belphegor's abode still remains an [[TrashOfTheTitans appalling trash heap]] of candy wrappers, dirty clothes, empty bags of potato chips and discarded cartons of Chinese food. When an exasperated Mammon pointed out that all that was needed was a quick phone call to the GUAC's janitors, Belphegor whined that the phone was too far away: indeed, it was on her nightstand, juuuuust out of reach of her tail. |
| 564 | ** Ultimately, the GUAC demanded ''some'' form of input from the Sin of Sloth, and in order to make them stop pestering her Belphegor created a comprehensive VR training program for the Morningstar Battalion, an act that took her all of ''forty-five minutes''. The Great Darkness was suitably astonished, and has dedicated a considerable amount of time trying to find a way to properly motivate Belphegor. |
| 565 | ** Belphegor takes her laziness very seriously: about the only time she'll willingly put in effort for anything is to make herself even more comfortable, and she will go to frankly incredible lengths for it. At point, she planted herself down by a river in the House of Beasts and refused to budge until she had caught a fish she thought would go well with her sake. It comes as no surprise that she found a kindred spirit in Robbie Rotten. |
| 566 | ** The closest Lord Belphegor has to a counterpart in the GUAC is Homura Akemi, and even then Homura represents Melancholy, not Sloth. Honestly, the two are barely aware of each other's existence: they didn't even fight during Lucifer's ill-fated coup due to, as mentioned above, Belphegor not even being there. |
| 567 | ** Belphegor is similarly disinterested in King, the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth. However, she has shown an interest in at least learning how he manages to levitate himself and his weapons, as it would allow her to fight without having to physically engage in combat. Although she was disappointed upon learning that King can't teach her his powers, the two remain on friendly terms. |
| 568 | ** When not in her room, Belphegor generally spends her time in the House of Gaming, trying to gather followers for her game world. Surprisingly, she's managed to befriend both the human and AI versions of Chiaki Nanami, both of whom share her love for video games. Although Belphegor remains rather apathetic to both of them, she doesn't mind hanging out with either of them as they don't force any work upon her. |
| 569 | * Exclusive to Belial and Astaroth: |
| 570 | ** Despite being deified alongside the other seven, the two former members of the Sins Belial and Astaroth spend by far less time in the Pantheon than their fellow demon lords. That's not to say they're totally out of the loop: Belial couldn't help but smirk when she heard of Lucifer's failure. Astaroth meanwhile spends much of her time practicing guitar and working toward her next album: despite the melancholy nature of her songs, she has no shortage of fans, among them Koneko Toujou. |
| 571 | ** Belial was surprised to discover that there are others in the pantheon with the same name as her. She gets along quite well with Belial and Nebiros, both of whom are similarly demon lords and were looking for more "friends" for their adopted daughter Alice. Although rather creeped out by Alice herself, Belial strongly respects both demon lords for their genuine love of Alice and their desire to protect her. On the other hand, Belial strongly dislikes the Lord of Lies, as he not only reminds her of her own manipulative behavior in the past, but also because she feels that he's besmirching her name and giving her a bad reputation. |
| 572 | ** Astaroth was rather disturbed to discover that she had gained an AbhorrentAdmirer in Lord Raptor, who had become infatuated with her because of her music and declared her to be yet another one of his "suitors". Fortunately, despite her [[ShrinkingViolet incredible insecurity]], she managed to fight him off with her scythe. Although she remains one of his targets, Belial and the other Sins have assured Astaroth that they'll protect her in case Raptor ever tries something again. |
| 573 | ** Despite not being part of the GUAC like the official sins, Astaroth has a counterpart Lord in Homura Akemi. The two are very alike in terms of motivation and attitude, though the Languid Diva was absolutely stunned to learn that Homura had betrayed the one who had shown her kindness [[MotiveMisidentification for the sake of power]]: she'd never even dream of betraying Belial, and from what she heard Madoka was an absolute saint compared to the Demon Lord of Vanity. Upon hearing the full story from The Great Darkness, however... |
| 574 | -->'''Astaroth:''' [[GratuitousRap I thought that your motivations were all totally lame, but now I know better, yo, your life's a total shame! I'm the Demon Lord of Melancholy, but your life was just crap! I feel so freakin' bad for you I can]] [[SarcasmFailure ...yeah, I can barely rap.]] ''Damn,'' girl... |

| 595 | * Lesser Evil, Lord of Sin, Azmodan is basically the amalgamation of the SevenDeadlySins: Greed, Pride, Sloth, Lust, Wrath, Envy and Gluttony. Placed in his minions and his most trusted [[CoDragons Sin Lords]], these sins is what comprises Azmodan's power and at the same time [[spoiler:caused his downfall, especially against Diablo]]. Worse, [[spoiler:his pride costed him his plans and himself]], though this could be because [[FridgeBrilliance he is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins]]. |
| 596 | ** After his death at the hands of the Nephalems, he was shortly ported back into Court of the Gods, where he was judged for his sinful ways. There, they placed him as the herald of the SevenDeadlySins. |
| 597 | * As one of the brightest generals of Hell, he is highly regarded as a good tactician, [[InformedAbility although no one sees him doing such]]. This has given a trust issue with most tacticians around the Pantheon, as he also has the tendency to spill out the plans. |
| 598 | * His anger immediately unfolded when he heard of the Nephalem's presence, sending unending minions and fireballs at the House of Pantheon/{{Prophecy}}. After the battle, Azmodan was forced to retreat back into his temple, seeing that there are surprisingly more powerful deities than what he can deal with. |
| 599 | ** His infuriation however reached peak levels when he saw '''Diablo's''' presence as well. While this will help settle their rivalry once and for all, he noticed that he already has a large amount of allies to help him when he decides to fight the Lord of Sin. With this discovery, he decided to leave him be, only when the time comes. |
| 600 | ** He has stated that it feels like a reunion in here, after seeing familiar faces of many kind, especially his sworn enemies. |
| 601 | --> '''Azmodan''': So many faces, so little time. My plans shall fall into their own fates. |
| 602 | ** For him however, he loves to gloat around Tyrael [[spoiler:[[FallenAngel for sacrificing his anglehood to save humanity.]]]] Since this is the Pantheon however, the Angel can switch to being mortal and angel at will, given thanks to Cosmos. That doesn't stop The Lord of Sin to mock his actions. |
| 603 | --> '''Azmodan''': How does it feel like losing your position, for such worthless rewards. Such shame for you. |
| 604 | ** [[VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm After being warped into the Nexus]], he has finally seen other worthy enemies or worldly rivals. Somehow, he cannot really understand Murky's [[TheUnintelligible language]] but, he might have a hint on what he is. |
| 605 | --> '''Azmodan''': You sound like a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Fallen One]]. |
| 606 | ** The same thing can be said with Artanis since the latter thinks he is a zerg. |
| 607 | --> '''Azmodan''': Zerg? You fail to amuse me. |
| 608 | ** He thinks that Uther's plight to the light is worthless on his crusade. After all, he did extinguish him in the many battles of the Nexus just to prove it. |
| 609 | --> '''Azmodan''': Consider your Light...extinguished. |
| 610 | ** Worse, when he met the Nephalem Johanna, she kept on insisting that if they are fighting together, [[NeverLiveItDown never reveal your plans.]] To add even further salt to the wound, almost every villain has reminded him to never overdo himself due to his GeneralFailure tendencies. He's pretty much annoyed with her (and by extension, every villains') comments. |
| 611 | * Has been training the Koopalings in the art of embracing the Seven Sins. While they "failed" most of Azmodan's tests, he is somewhat amused with their shenanigans and has shown that the Koopalings have a sin that they have mastered, Greed. |
| 612 | ** At the same time, he has become allies with the ascended Homunculi Pride, Lust and Father. All who are representations of their respective sins. They often go to Azmodan's temple, further increasing their power from sins done from Pantheon members and mortals alike. This has gotten Azmodan's attention and is considering to place them as his remaining heralds as replacements. |
| 613 | *** He considers Lust's looks veeeery distracting as he either contests which is better, Cydaea or Lust. Though the both of them are okay with Azmodan as their "master". |
| 614 | ** He became very disappointed with Greed [[spoiler:after the latter's HeroicSacrifice in order to reach a godly level]]. Because of this, he considers him a travesty to all sinners in the world. |
| 615 | ** There was also a time when Meliodas was going to be considered a herald for Wrath, until he saw his true [[ChaoticGood side]]. To this day, he is still pissed for the former's motivation of good rather than evil (despite being a representation of wrath). |
| 616 | * Is being considered for recruitment into the Burning Legion, commanded by none other than Lord Jaraxxus. He has politely accepted such offer and is willing to send reinforcements from Hell just to assist, though this could be a cover up to usurp Sargeras. |
| 617 | ** Illidan however saw this and has warned the GUAG of his plans, forcing Azmodan to "cover up" his plan. It didn't work to say the least. |
| 618 | * Shazam has dreaded his existence as his [[SevenDeadlySins title]] is a grave sign of his former fight against the Embodiment of Sin itself. Azmodan however, has other plans for the hero. |
| 619 | * The rage he has against the Nephalems have extended to almost every single Nephilim in existence. So far, he has encountered three other nephilim inside Pantheon proper: Akeno Himejima, who met him in person and lost to him in a horrible way, Death, who proved him to be a great adversary, and Sicily, who can not only go toe to toe against him, but defeat him thanks to her magical-defense stats. He's not proud about the results, despite winning once. |
| 620 | ** This did however gave him the ire of Issei Hyodo and the rest of the Occult Reearch Club very quick after the incident with Akeno. Azmodan has been warned him several times to not mess with the Lord of Sin, or else. |
| 621 | --> '''Azmodan''': You dare test the Lord of Hell, boy. Because I think you have no idea what you are up against. |
| 622 | ** SPEAKING about the Nephilim, [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/heroesofthestorm/images/4/4b/AzmodanBase_Pissed07.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20150612195940 he has warned them to never touch a baby Nephilim, as it can lead to deathly results]]. |
| 623 | * Warning to all who wish to fight him: Never fight him in Melee combat, as his powerful strikes can leave you vulnerable and his tanky health adds up the difficulty. On the other hand, [[WeaksauceWeakness ranged attacks can make him look like a joke]]. |
| 624 | * The Mane Six are watching the Lord of Sin due to being the opposite reflections of Sin and Evil. This annoys Azmodan to a great degree, since he cannot corrupt them in anyway, unless he starts contacting aid from the Old Gods that is. |
| 625 | ** Alphonse Elric was even more shocked to hear an evil representation of him, due to containing [[SevenHeavenlyVirtues all the 7 Great Virtues]]. Azmodan is ''not'' amused at the slightest. With that said, he's going to make his first strike on Alphonse in his to-do list. |
| 626 | * He has been contacted once by Orc Warlock Gul'dan as a part of his ritual of binding demons. During the ritual, it didn't go so well for the Orc [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/heroesofthestorm/images/b/b2/AzmodanAGGreen.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150123045053 due to Azmodan taking over his body]]. However, after that incident, Gul'dan has commented that the power inside Azmodan was worth the price. |
| 627 | ** After his "visit", he was met with the Old Gods, who somehow read his mind and got interested with his motivations. Y'shaarj also made a deal that the demon couldn't resist, defeat Diablo with his help. The Lord of Sin reluctantly agreed, [[{{Pride}} without thinking twice]]. His allies have been warning him of his actions, as it could lead to an even more embarrassing defeat. |
| 628 | * The Chaos Gods have decided to recruit Azmodan as a Primach for their plans (some say that Tzeentch planned this). Slaneesh especially has been interested with his "sinful" actions. To say that Azmodan was quite pleased is a complete {{Understatement}}. |
| 629 | ** Khorne on the other hand has some interesting motives for Azmodan, though he is not going to give it away that easily. Tzeentch has revealed that the Chaos God of War is planning to use him as the next [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Angron]]. Time will tell if he will accept the offer. |
| 630 | * Much like every demon in the Pantheon, Terrorblade has placed him on his kill list. However, the only confusion that both him and Terrorblade share is [[Creator/DavidSobolov their voices.]] It almost becomes hilarious when they even attempt to use {{Large Ham}}s against each other, someting that irritates both of them so easily. |
| 631 | * While his plans during the Diablo-verse were albeit stupid for most villains, the biggest mistake Azmodan committed was that he was a Great Evil by ''default'' after Belial's death and [[{{Irony}}would have been the true Lord of Hell if he stayed]], which was his objective all along. There, many villains also noticed how he fell: Greed. |
| 632 | * Azmodan's attacks consist of [[{{Fireballs}} a large long-range behemoth firball called]] ''[[RedBaron Globe of Annihilation]]'', a [[EnergyWeapon laser-like beam that deals heavy longing damage]] on a certain range, [[MookLieutenant summoning of Demonic Lieutenants]], and [[MookMaker a wave of minions on the target's corners]]. All these attacks, and [[JackOfAllStats Azmodan can ruin your day, in any way]]. |
| 633 | ** Speaking of Globe of Annihilation, there has been rumors that [[MemeticMutation he learned this through basketball]]. Hell, there are instances where his shots [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXRGqiOdC5k looks like he]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuC21C2JtBM is making]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htTftOkTiWw a three-point shot]]. This has gotten interest with the House of Pantheon/{{Sports}}. |
| 634 | ** Sans however saw him not a threat, but rather rivals, thanks to their habit of dunking their opponents, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vIARjtWLbA&t=0m53s especially Sans]]. Rumors have also spread that they are making a Pantheon basketball team just for fun. |
| 635 | ** This got to the point that Azmodan actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSe3LWySKTM wears a basketball uniform while battling in the Nexus]], with a demon team of his own included. |
| 636 | --> '''Azmodan''': Boom shakalaka... |
| 637 | * Also has a spot on the Great Triad at the House of Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith. |
| 638 | * ''"[[CatchPhrase You thought]] [[IShallTauntYou you were so clever...]]"''. |

| 656 | * Weirded out by: [[Pantheon/TheatricProduction Ren Hoek]] |
| 657 | * Next to [[{{Satan}} the Devil himself]], Beelzebub is the most well-known demon. The demonized form of a Philistine god worshiped in Ekron, often referred to as Baal Zabul in his true form, he is seen as a demon associated with flies. Usually seen either as one of the devil's alias, [[TheDragon his right hand man]] or the demon who rules over the sin of [[VillainousGlutton gluttony]]. Whatever the form, this Beelzebub serves as TheDragon to the bringer of chaos, Lucifer. |
| 658 | * Ascended soon after the creation of the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfChaos by urging of his master. Out of all of the Forces of Chaos, he is the closest Lucifer can call a 'right-hand fly'; Beelzebub is fiercely loyal to the Morning Star. Though his true loyalties lie with Lucifer, Beelzebub is willing to work with those who either A) defeat him in combat and thus prove they deserve to command him, or B) show a sufficient dedication to the ways of Chaos. As such, he fought alongside Dracula himself on a whim on one occasion. |
| 659 | * Was one of the demons present for the creation of the Demi-Fiend; he will be the first one to praise Naoki's power, as he witnessed it firsthand during their match together. Beelzebub later tried to convince [[Pantheon/{{Sinners}} Set]] to join the cause of chaos, pointing out they are both demonized deities. Set turned it down, saying that while he relates to his fate he isn't interested in the factions of law and chaos. Yes he's a chaotic deity, but not consummately so. |
| 660 | * Not the only Beelzebub, however he states to be the original. Here are some interactions with other Lords of the Flies. |
| 661 | ** Not technically Beelzebub, but heavily based on him is Beelzemon. Already an ally of Lucifer, he is pleasantly surprised to learn that Beelzemon is willing to work with him. He found they share gluttony, but for the biker it's not hunger for food but hunger for ''power'', something he is fine with. |
| 662 | ** [[TokenMiniMoe A cuter female Beelzebub]] is the TokenGoodTeammate of the Seven Mortal Sins, driven by HorrorHunger and lacks the excess of the fly. Gets along less with him, but he's fond of the girl in his own way. There's another cute female Beelzebub that he's fond of as well |
| 663 | ** [[Pantheon/FamilyDynamics Baby Beel]] shows promise for Beelzebub, however this is a family name of the Sin Lords of Gluttony. This might mean he is a descendant, but the Lord of the Flies is silent on his ultimate ambition for the child. |
| 664 | ** Not explicit, but in addition to being a SatanicArchetype Betelguese takes many traits of the Lord of the Flies; similar name, is filthy and associated with bugs. Beelzebub likes his style. |
| 665 | * People assumed Stratos of the Sumeragi Swordsmen was [[AngelUnaware him in human form]], based on gluttony when it comes to his team's SevenDeadlySins due to being experimented upon by Sumeragi. This comes with a strong fly motif, his powers and personality: Stratos can transform into swarms of fly-like particles that can break down any and all matter, and as a guy with a truly insatiable hunger he uses it to devour anything in sight of him. He was even called the "Lord of the Flies". Though they aren't one in the same, the sheer amount of similarities led the true Lord of the Flies to be instantly fond of the guy and Stratos is one of his favorites in the pantheon. |
| 666 | * Most dissapointed by the lack of fly deities in the House of Insects. He really doesn't like the Radiance, partly for reminding him of YHVH but also because of the spanner in the works her plagues would cause due to their impact on insect life. And she would welcome subjugating one of Lucifer's top generals to her own cause. He was pleasantly surprised elsewhere to learn the bug fascination of Agitha and the power over bugs by Shino Aburame, however they aren't interested in whatever he might try to sell. |
| 667 | * Misty has refused to go anywhere near the Beast House ever since Beelzebub's ascension, by virtue of him being a fly the size of a tank with a penchant for [[ElementalRockPaperScissors electric spells]] and [[{{Squick}} rapid maggot infestation]]. Beelzebub stays out of the House of Pantheon/FireAndHeat upon Rangaros' ascension, due to his desire to burn INSECTS! |
| 668 | * Has an interest in the House of Food, due to his role as a demon of gluttony. [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Pac-Man]] would rather be left alone, but [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Midora, Gluttony and the Deviljho]] are alright with him showing up. [[Pantheon/FleshEaters Pennywise]] is amused by the fear Beelzebub could bring and his demonic nature, but otherwise ignores what Lucifer's faction is doing because he's content being a sadistic ChildEater ForTheEvulz. |
| 669 | * A god of filth as much as gluttony, Beelzebub is a good friend of Papa Nurgle. He sides with the forces of chaos, though Nurgle isn't ideologically interested in the fly's cause. Lucifer is trying to get his right hand fly to stop seeing the Chaos God as the fact he represents stagnation and decay makes him diametrically opposed to Lucifer's vision of a dynamic changing world. |
| 670 | * Welcome in the Hall of Pantheon/{{Diseases}}. Obviously not liked in the rest of the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases, given his power over plagues. [[Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases Anton Arcane]] often associates with flies, so he'd like to get Beelzebub's favor. However [[BodyHorror his]] [[MakeThemRot in]][[TakeOverTheWorld terests]] don't give him any favor from the Lord of the Flies. |
| 671 | * Despite the lack of affiliation to Chaos with some of the other SMT protagonists, he is willing to serve them… under certain circumstances. One of these requirements include assuming they are strong enough to be worthy of summoning him, capable of summoning his human form and various devils for fusions, and submitting to the "devilish" nature of a single individual. |
| 672 | ** Both Makoto and Kotone know of the shady businessman by the name of Tanaka. |
| 673 | ** Yu knows of a lustful nurse in a part-time job at the Inaba Municipal Hospital. |
| 674 | ** With Ren, who is more chaotic than the former three, Beelzebub is much more pleased about serving him. Still, he required making a pact with an "devilish" individual, in the Thief's case a paparazzi. |
| 675 | ** Also known to fight alongside Flynn and Tadano, but will only do so after he's been bested in battle first. [[{{Superboss}} That's not an easy task.]] |
| 676 | * Though Beelzebub's traditional appearance is that of a giant fly, he has shown a series of other forms; |
| 677 | ** There's Baal Zebul, a blue humanoid who sometimes becomes even more grotesque as [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight a gigantic, hideous rotting corpse riddled with maggots]]. This form is how he was first introduced to Dracula, as he believes [[RageAgainstTheHeavens his opposition to God]] and connection to [[EldritchAbomination Chaos]] makes him a valuable asset to the GUAC. |
| 678 | ** Then there's Beelzebu, a FallenAngel like the Goetia(who also fit the "demonized gods" role). Though [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill his goals are already antithetical]] to the GUAC, Malthael is a figure of fear in this state as he could coaxed him into a full angel against his will by the power of Order. Beelzebu consumes demon souls for power, which will help Malthael bring law and order to the world. In turn Pazuzu fears this form for consuming his soul for power. |
| 679 | ** On one occasion he was a woman in dominatrix gear, and likes watching people try to figure that one out. In this form, she wishes to merge the demon and human world into one, and gives magical powers to men she fancies on a whim, or manipulate Lucifer's kin without his knowledge. The "sexy fly dominatrix" is only a form he shows in the pantheon within the House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection. |
| 680 | ** Probably his strangest incarnation is [[Manga/YouAreBeingSummonedAzazel a white penguin with fly wings wearing a tuxedo]]. Nobody gets that one. ''[[MindScrew Absolutely nobody]]''. But his true form is in fact Baal, a high-ranking Caananite deity. |
| 681 | * Being a big-ass fly, even if he is a demon, Beelzebub comes off a delectable treat for any spider deity. As such, he stays the hell away from the House of Pantheon/{{Arthropods}}. He is straight up terrified of [[Pantheon/DreadAndValor Ungoliant]]. [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Melkor]] didn't know how to feel about this; amusement at one of Lucifer's top dogs cowed by a former ally, or rather not wanting to get involved given Ungoliant was the only force of evil he feared and tried to eat him. |
| 682 | * No one has dared ask him if he has a devil put aside for [[Pantheon/{{Musicality}} Freddie Mercury]]. Or how he responds to Ren, under SpaceMadness, threatening to lick a fly. That was too weird even for Beelzebub, and he initially thought that Ren Hoek was some sort of malformed mosquito. |

| 700 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes Len]] |
| 701 | * Even as a baby Morrigan was perplexing powerful for a succubus. Belial, the ruler of the demon realm Makai, adopted the child and split her soul into three parts to ensure she would not destroy herself and devastate his kingdom while she was still too immature to control such power. Morrigan was to immediately be elevated to the rank of greater goddess or overdeity after Belial's death but one of his rivals obtained the last third of Morrigan's soul and created Lilith, whose existence has postponed Morrigan's completion. Lilith instinctively sought out Morrigan and is destined to be reabsorbed into her. Rumor has it this has already happened in the mortal world, [[CapcomSequelStagnation though continual sightings of Lilith make this suspect]]. |
| 702 | * Despite their official station being here, both enjoy making visits to the House of Love, where they are... most welcome. |
| 703 | * Being succubi, some of their followers have fraternized with [[Pantheon/BossFightsNToZ Naoki Kashima]] and his followers. [[ChasteHero All of them maintain dejectedly that nothing happened]]. |
| 704 | * Thanks to [[VideoGame/CrossEdge an accident involving a transporter]] and a crack about [[ACupAngst breast size]], Morrigan has made an enemy of Etna, who in turn is much less violently angry at her "sister", Lilith. |
| 705 | * It may come as a shock to some that, in spite of her glamorous appearance, Morrigan is [[TheHighQueen actually]] {{royal|sWhoActuallyDoSomething}}ty. Not that you'd know that, [[RebelliousPrincess with her constant shirking of responsibility]] to crash in the Human World to [[UpperClassTwit party]], [[DreamStealer feed on dreams]], [[BloodKnight sate her craving for a good fight]], and all that jazz. Regardless, [[PrettyPrincessPowerhouse she'd still probably kick your ass]], but seeing as she and Lilith would treat you to a good time afterward, ''[[GreatWayToGo totally]]'' WorthIt. |
| 706 | * If you happen to be one of the few sane (or strange) souls who is NotDistractedByTheSexy, then you had better be packing some ''serious'' HeroicWillpower if you're (un)fortunate to meet either of these two babes in the dark of the night; the body of a succubus is a LivingAphrodisiac. |
| 707 | * Though she is mostly calm and collected, Morrigan has two things that can actually make her go through a bad case of demonic rage: [[VideoGame/CrossEdge Whenever somebody calls her old]] or whenever a man (or woman) prefers Lilith over her. |
| 708 | * To this day, neither Lilith or Morrigan has been able to seduce Adell, despite using all of their succubi skills in order to do so. This has not slowed down any of their constant attempts to do so. |
| 709 | * Despite hitting on most of the Gods and Goddess in the Pantheon, Morrigan has a list of deities she adores more than others. Some of these people include Tony Stark, [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} James Howlett]], [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]], [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante Sparda]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]], [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Etna]], and Sebastian Michaelis. ''Especially'' Sebastian. |
| 710 | ** On the another hand, Morrigan has a serious business with Demitri, while she's fascinated with his charming body, they tend to clash frequently, the only exception being an unusual alliance if Jedah's name is spoken in front of them. |
| 711 | * Morrigan once tried to discover Crona's sex by herself. The result didn't end well for her. |
| 712 | * [[VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom Teamed up with a lot of the other gods of the pantheon to stop the merging of the different worlds]]. [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone And did it again, though Lilith was notably absent for some reason]]. Oh and while Morrigan was at it, she tried hitting on a high school student, advised a kid on how to grow up, and tried hitting on [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Sanger Zonvolt]] though he has refused her advances. |
| 713 | * Morrigan and Lilith have both been advised to be careful when near anyone allied with the God Emperor of Mankind. Those gods have a tendency to mistake them for allies of Slaanesh. This is the only reason why none of them have attempted to seduce Sanguinius yet. |
| 714 | ** Ironically, they don't seem to be too fond of Slaanesh either, mostly because he/she/it keeps trying to convince them to be turned into Keepers of Secrets and the fact that he/she/it is a bit too extreme for their tastes. |
| 715 | * Quit the GUAG in favor of the GUAC. Cosmos is disappointed by this, but understands that ultimately, they are demons; of course they would throw their lot in with Lucifer. Nonetheless, the two succubi remain civil with the GUAG, even if their paths cross sometimes. |
| 716 | * Were not happy to hear that Jedah Dohma had ascended into the Pantheon. |
| 717 | * After witnessing Akuma's infamous [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Shun Goku Satsu]], Morrigan and Lilith decided to make their own variant of the move which they call [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120723180150/marvelvscapcom/images/f/fc/Eternal_Slumber.gif "Eternal Slumber"]], an ability that has made many enemies go OutWithABang. Though to make the fun last longer, the sisters made the move not as deadly as the original by having it only drain part of the opponent's soul instead of outright destroying it like Akuma does. The Raging Demon himself seems rather indifferent about this. |
| 718 | * The two of them were visited by [[Pantheon/PersonsOfDesire Bayonetta]], who wanted to [[DealWithTheDevil make a contract]] with them. While they refused, not wanting to be tied down, the three of them started spending a lot of time together as a result. |

This has lead to something that he has become a master of: {{Jump Scare}}s and {{Screamer Prank}}s. [[EvilIsPetty He does this when bored and has nothing to do]], because hey, [[{{Troll}} even a demon lord needs something to kill time]]. |
| 738 | * Invented the ExorcistHead, which has never been properly mastered by anyone else aside from owls and other species of birds, mainly because most creatures have these things called a spine, and birds have more flexible necks than mammals. Even then, they can't spin their heads 360 degrees like he can. |
| 739 | * Pazuzu ended up having a rematch with Father Kerras and Merrin when the demon heard about their ascension. The battle ended up lasting for days with various attempt by the demon to possess the priests and the people around while the two desperately trying to stop it. It only came to a halt when the All-Mighty caught wind of this and forcefully stop Pazuzu. |
| 740 | * In a stunning move, he lent his strength to a [[VideoGame/DevilSurvivor young man named Kaido]], following his orders without question rather than possessing him. He revealed his true form in the process, which was nothing like what people expected: an extremely...''not-frightening'' winged humanoid with a lion's head. When questioned about these bizarre actions, Pazuzu stated that the man's strength of will had caught his interest. It was so unlike him people still have no idea what to think. |
| 741 | ** As for the not-frightening part, he quickly remedied that by {{Neck Lift}}ing the first idiot to call him so to his face, and proceeded to casually incinerate him with a [[SlasherSmile cheerful grin]]. Problem solved! |
| 742 | * Is disappointed in [[Pantheon/{{Musicality}} The Gorillaz]] for leaving his statue behind at Kong Studios. Murdoc seems to be the only member that misses it. |
| 743 | * [[SchmuckBait Don't say his name three times in a row, it doesn't turn out well]]. Actually, saying his name ''[[SpeakOfTheDevil at all]]'' is enough to invite his unfriendly attention. Especially since he's [[VillainTeleportation able to teleport wherever he wants (he can even take his temple with him)]], it makes Pazuzu answering to someone catching his attention a surprisingly easy prospect. |
| 744 | * Needless to say, Pazuzu was ''not'' happy when [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Shib-Niggurath]] ascended, as the Outer God reminds him ''far'' too much of his eternal ArchEnemy, Lamashtu. He has been building up allies to oppose her, with Gul'dan being a large amount of help. |
| 745 | ** He's also fully aware of Gul'dan's [[TheStarscream nature]] and has taken precautions against any (obviously eventual) betrayal from Gul'dan. |
| 746 | ** And on a similar note, he has grown an immense ire towards Sr Pelo as well, not only for somehow having the ability to [[NightmareRetardant make his screamer pranks incredibly laughable]], but also because he keeps calling him Ooga Booga wile introducing himself to the demon by running him over with a cop car. |
| 747 | * He has learned to not use the phrase he used against Kerras more often: '''"YOUR MOTHER SUCKS COCKS IN HELL!!"''' It was admittedly funny, [[{{Narm}} but he was supposed to be frightening, not funny!]] Not to mention he thought he had some throat problems that he ended up sounding like a scrawny goblin, not [[EvilSoundsDeep deep enough.]] |

| 768 | * Opposes: Both the Deus AND Diabolos Ex Machina, [[Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare Ares]], [[Pantheon/FightingStyles Balrog]], [[Pantheon/FamilialPerspective Jagi]] |
| 769 | * The Beast Swordsman. Zodd the Immortal. God of the Battlefield. This mighty [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Apostle]] [[TheDreaded has struck fear in the hearts of knights and mercenaries]] for three hundred years, but despite his demonic nature [[WasOnceAMan he used to be human]]. Through a DealWithTheDevil, Nosferatu Zodd would become a great and powerful Apostle. He is perhaps the strongest Apostle asides from the Godhand, and has fought his way to become the God of [[DemonOfHumanOrigin Human-Based Demons]]. Guts and the Skull Knight have been sharpening their sword in preparation for Zodd's ascension. |
| 770 | * Though the Apostles are often categorized with [[MoralEventHorizon a gleeful abandonment of morality]] and [[ForTheEvulz complete sadism]], Zodd and his fellow Neo Band of the Hawk [[NobleDemon are a honorable side to their kin]]. He isn't needlessly cruel, and tries not to hurt non-combatants unless necessary. Though it should be noted he's still completely loyal to Griffith [[MoralEventHorizon despite what he did]], which is why he's LawfulEvil and not LawfulNeutral or ChaoticNeutral. There's also [[FridgeHorror the fact that]] [[VillainyDiscretionShot he must've sacrificed someone he cared about to become an Apostle]]. |
| 771 | * Most assume that he defaults on his weaker, "base" form as means of giving his foes a fighting chance. As it turns out, he actually [[WebVideo/BerserkAbridged uses it as a disguise, like "hiding in plain sight".]] Guts pointed out this was dumb, and Zodd is trying to learn how to disguise himself as a butterfly. |
| 772 | * As he resembles a bull in his humanoid form, Tauros was interested in meeting Zodd. He likes the Pokémon, due to the fighting spirit it shares with the Apostle. |
| 773 | * Loving thrill of battle, he seeks out challenge in both the world of Midland and the Pantheon, usually by scouting people in the House of Combat and War. He was happy to learn that both Guts and the Skull Knight had ascended. |
| 774 | * This has caused the Doom Slayer and Alexander Anderson to butt heads with him in their demon slaying endeavors. |
| 775 | * Got [[CurbStompBattle one-punched]] by Saitama. He considers this a wake-up to greatly improve his fighting prowess. |
| 776 | * His BloodKnight tendencies make him one of the few Apostles who've earned Khorne's favor. The Chaos God is disdainful to most Apostles as they [[VillainsWantMercy beg for their lives at the end]], however Zodd ''revels'' in the fight against those that prove a challenge, admiring humans who manage to challenge him. He's tried to make him a Daemon Prince, but the Godhand have intervened; this is ''their'' demon knight, after all. |
| 777 | * ''Really'' good friends with [[Pantheon/{{Shape}} Alucard]] out of mutual interests, and enjoying the fight against [[BadassNormal badass humans]]. He'll also have a good time fighting with [[Pantheon/CombatOther Boros]], as both seek the ultimate WorthyOpponent. |
| 778 | * He believed that Ares, a god of war, would be a great warrior. Much to his disappointment, Ares proved to be a DirtyCoward more in the line of the savage Apostles like the Snake Baron or Wyald. He's glad at least that the pantheon's official god of war, [[Pantheon/{{Sinners}} Kratos]], was a true badass. |
| 779 | * Has managed to get along with Chiron of all gods. The centaur reminds him of his comrade Locus, and like him [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch is a disciplined member of a hedonistic and cruel race]]. Chiron isn't going to help out given [[DarkMessiah who he serves]], but Zodd is invited to his temple. |
| 780 | * He likes going on hunting trips with Scarface and the other Predators. |
| 781 | * He is no fan of the Deus Ex Machina; he's sick of her coming in and [[WebVideo/BerserkAbridged slicing the Hell out of demons]], with [[DealWithTheDevil the Eclipse]] finally [[TheBadGuysWin giving the villains a win]]. That being said, he disapproves of Diabolous as well; he considers him as much "cheating" as Deus, and that both good and evil should have a fair chance at winning. |
| 782 | * Disapproving of Balrog's dirty fighting, and is wondering why the House of Combat let him in. He's also disappointed in the actions of Jagi, who reminds him of the more shameful Apostles he has to work with. |
| 783 | * Though he spends most of his time in the House of Combat, there are two fighters that drive him ''nuts''; [[Pantheon/FightingStyles Wobbuffet and Shuckle]]. Wobbuffet's [[CounterAttack fighting style]], combined with [[YouWillNotEvadeMe his Shadow Tag ability]], is ungodly frustrating. The sheer StoneWall that is Shuckle comes off as just plain frustrating for Zodd to break through. Outside the House of Combat, Zodd dislikes Future Trunks due to [[NoNonsenseNemesis not "playing ball" in fights]], especially since he comes from a race of [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy proud warriors]]. |
| 784 | * [[WebVideo/BerserkAbridged Oddly enough, he can break the fourth wall and converse with the writer]], sometimes [[RageAgainstTheAuthor butting heads against him]]. Right now, he's annoyed that Kentaro Miura [[ScheduleSlip hasn't updated in ages]]. |
| 785 | * Would like to remind [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Superman]] that he has no connection to General Zod. This won't make Superman go any easier on him should they ever fight. Hell, he wouldn't even want that. |

| 810 | * On poor terms with: [[Pantheon/ReligiousPractice Rosemary Woodhouse]] |
| 811 | * The Lord of Darkness and ruler of Hell, Satan is a headstrong rebel who got kicked out of Heaven. However by the present day [[TheDevilIsALoser he's kind of a bitch]]. Granted the idea the Devil is a wuss [[OlderThanTheyThink has been around long before TV]], but instead of it being StupidEvil or under the philosophy that EvilWillFail South Park's Satan is characterized by a bad love life and not all that intimidating [[SatanIsGood since he's kind of a softie]]. [[NobleDemon Still nominally evil, but someone you can pal around with]]. [[AHellOfATime He even has a luau]]. He's tried to come off as tougher [[NotSoHarmlessVillain and can sometimes kick ass]], but falls short of the iconic BigBad status the Devil is known for. |
| 812 | * Tragically he died "[[CurbStompBattle fighting]]" [=ManBearPig=], [[RedemptionEqualsDeath which led to him going to Heaven]]. The current status of his Hell is unknown, but it means he's spending most of his time in the Trope Pantheon. [[RunningGag I mean where else was he supposed to go; Detroit?]] He's come to oppose Hexxus because of this as MBP is an allegory for global warming and Hexxus is pollution incarnate, but not hard enough to sign up with [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} Captain Planet]]. He also opposes those belonging to the Abrahamic faith like Alexander Anderson, but only for the sake of appearances; the Hall of Demons was considering revoking his {{Satan}} card unless he tries to be more like the Devil. |
| 813 | * Because [[SatanIsGood he's not that evil]] and [[TheDevilIsALoser not that impressive]], he has earned the ire of many a demon and other version of {{Satan}}. His response was simply "yeah I'm the Lord of Darkness, [[PunchClockVillain but that doesn't mean I have to be a dick about it]]". [[EasyRoadToHell Since only Mormons in his universe go to Heaven]], he doesn't think it's fair to make Hell a place of torment outside of [[PayEvilUntoEvil the actually vile]]... though even then he'll let them be happy during Christmas or occasionally go to one of his parties. That said, there's enough of a variation of demons, [[{{Satan}} Devils]] [[SatanicArchetype and the like]] in the pantheon have a wide range of opinions on him. |
| 814 | ** Both the Lucifer who rebels against [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith YHVH]] and the Lucifer who's the son of [[Pantheon/{{Prophets}} the Presence]] have critiqued him for not being all that pro-active, but it's more friendly ribbing than anything. They think the Prince of Darkness is a really fun guy to hang out with and since all non-Mormons go to Hell in his 'verse, some of the greatest poets and bartenders are there to be introduced to the fallen angels. Surprisingly for such a ControlFreak YHVH has yet to comment on the South Park's version of Satan, mainly because [[EveryoneHasStandards He finds the setting too silly for His concern]]. |
| 815 | ** The Beast looks down greatly on him. As a [[SatanIsGood soft]], [[TheDevilIsALoser unintimidating]] devil, he sees Satan as a embarrassment to demons everywhere. On a more petty level, he's frustrated that Satan's the more well-known [[BigRedDevil horned demon]]. Satan's comeback? Simply pointing out that while the Beast is more badass, ''he'' isn't the one chained up. He's also on speaking terms with the Hall of Pantheon/{{Angels}} following his re-ascension to Heaven after death, and already tepid interest in actually fighting them. |
| 816 | ** Melkor was outright disgusted by Satan as he feels he ''should'' be evil and exploit the large population in Hell. The Prince of Darkness simply responded he doesn't give a damn and told him that if he isn't [[VillainsOutShopping going to enjoy any downtime]], he's not welcome and slammed the door. [[DoNotTauntCthulhu All this did was confirm him as an enemy to the Fallen Valar]]. Rather than outright attack him, he messed with Satan by sending him to Dis' domain. Witnessing the immense power and horror of the Emperor of the Kingdom Dolorous, the frozen bodies of the damned and the blood and viscera oozing from the devil's mouths after chewing arch-sinners sickened Satan and he's sworn never to visit the Inferno again. |
| 817 | ** Despite being genuinely evil, HIM gets along the Lord of Darkness [[VillainousFriendship as he tends to get along with other villains]]. After all, [[VillainsOutShopping even he knows the importance of downtime]]. Satan initially apologized for [[Pantheon/LimbsAndJoints the Powerpuff Girls]] whenever they broke into their crib, but Him convinced him to stand up for himself some more and Satan made ''them'' apologize for interrupting their time [[WhatTheHellHero when they weren't even doing anything evil]]. [[Pantheon/VillainousAppearances Aku]] used to show up often, [[EvilIsPetty but he couldn't resist being a dick even on off time]] so he's only allowed to show up when he can be guaranteed to behave [[MemeticMutation like an extra thick pizza]] for the night. |
| 818 | ** Is outright friends with Satancihia, though he privately admits [[EveryoneHasStandards she's worse at being the Devil than he is]] and he has advised her to PokeThePoodle harder... [[KickTheDog but not too hard]]. Satan Jacob is another close friend of his, and is a bit more dignified in the whole "TheDevilIsALoser" aspect. The Lord of Darkness doesn't seem to get how he can be happy working at [=MgRonalds=] though. The Lord of Darkness is also popular with both the VideoGame/{{Helltaker}} cast and Creator/NipponIchi demons as their light-hearted evil [[AntiVillain fits his personality]]. |
| 819 | * Technically speaking he's an AscendedDemon after his sacrifice and going to Heaven; an irony that [[{{Satan}} he]] is well aware of. Tom Lucitor had mad respect for him. He's technically predisposed to evil instead of choosing it and despite his nature he managed to make a HeelFaceTurn. Despite his past of a CrazyJealousGuy the Lord of Darkness is pleased to learn he grew beyond his jealousy [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy to let his beloved be happy]], and after Satan's own relationship issues he applauds Tom's growth. |
| 820 | * Despite the First of the Fallen being his high priest, whenever he and [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes John Constantine]] interact it's mostly cordial. After all, it's not like Satan's a loser [[{{Understatement}} due to lack of manners]]. The Prince of Darkness tends to look down on beings like [[Pantheon/EvilActions the Ebon Dragon]] for proving TheDevilIsALoser because they focus on [[StupidEvil being as evil as possible instead of remembering that]] EvilVirtues exist for a reason. [[Pantheon/{{Quirks}} J.R.R Tolkien]] has argued [[EvilWillFail that's kind of the point]], but the Prince of Darkness doesn't agree. He won't argue however since he enjoys Tolkien's books. He totally agrees on the common argument that the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' version of Lucifer is a whiny SpoiledBrat, and he considers that kind of sinner especially frustrating. [[CantTakeCriticism Three guesses for how Lucifer felt about that]]. [[spoiler:Given what [[AbusiveParents his dad]] [[GodIsEvil is actually like]], [[TurnOutLikeHisFather it's clear why]], [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse but Lucifer's too much of a jerk for Satan to feel sorry for him]].]] |
| 821 | * [[NotSoHarmlessVillain He can be surprisingly devious when need be]]. One time he swindled people out of their money in a bet of whether he or Jesus would win in a wrestling contest; [[MusclesAreMeaningful it looked like he would obviously win]], but he then took a dive and guess who was the one person who betted on Jesus? His army also nearly took over Heaven which [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} his Castlevania counterpart]] considers proof of some hidden potential, but it's worth noting [[EasyRoadToHell he had a massive number advantage]]. Unlike most versions of {{Satan}} [[GodKartingWithBeelzebub he's on good terms with his]] {{God}} too, and he will sometimes ask both The Love That Moves The Stars and the God who Bob knows for relationship advice. [[PunchClockVillain Of course, it's done privately since his job is that of a tempter and force of evil]]. |
| 822 | * Despite helping Heaven win against him with his mad PSP skills, Kenny and Satan were on good terms even before his fight with [=ManBearPig=]; he did help him in his relationship issues. Right now the Prince of Darkness is content with defeating the forces of Heaven in video games rather than an actual war, or with more fun fights like drinking contests. Imperius refuses to accept this and the fact Satan went to Heaven after he died, as he believes he's still up to no good and blames him for sending Saddam Hussein to Heaven. Satan has tried to explain [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment that was meant to punish him]], but Imperius is not listening. Jibril initially played game, but Satan kicked her out for using [[FantasticSlur fantastic slurs]] because of her FantasticRacism and ruining a gaming session, though it's not like she liked his kind anyway. |
| 823 | * Satan's biggest flaw is relationship issues. He was initially attracted to Saddam Hussein [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys for his assertive personality]], only for him to be a total asshole. After they broke up there was a rebound with a NiceGuy called Chris, but he was ''too'' nice and [[ExtremeDoormat an extreme pushover]]. After getting relationship advise from {{God}} and critique about [[VillainDecay how he became a whiny bitch]], he's keeping to a more casual and balanced love life. Despite being gay though, he apparently has [[TheAntiChrist a son called Damien]], [[AntiAntiChrist but he's not that interested in being all that evil either]]. He initially thought Damien Thorn was his son all grown up, but [[CompleteMonster he proved way too nasty]] to be the same kid. Damien Thorn in turn is ''utterly'' '''disgusted''' by the South Park version of his father being [[SatanIsGood a fundamentally good person]], [[PunchClockVillain albeit with a job of evil]]. |
| 824 | * [[BerserkButton Don't be an abusive partner in Satan's presence]]. And don't act like you're entitled to anyone, which is why he likes to mock Hal Stewart. It's why he and Alto Clef sympathize with each other; while [[LooseCanon it's only]] [[MultipleChoicePast one possible origin story]], [[spoiler:SCP-4231 proposes]] that Dr Clef suffered from a horribly abusive partner and [[ShootTheDog he was forced to kill her to protect their daughter]]. Dr Clef himself may also be Satan, even in just the symbolic "[[RageAgainstTheHeavens warring against God]]" and he's definitively known for not being some tight-ass scientist so he thinks the Prince of Darkness is a ton of fun. [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} The SCP Foundation]] doesn't mind this fraternizing, just as long as it doesn't threaten TheMasquerade. |
| 825 | ** He was amused to learn that the SCP Foundation has a teenage version [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2662 of what amounts to]] [[Pantheon/OthernessAbominations Cthulhu]] in their custody. He's asked that if SCP-2662 ever ascends, he'd like to introduce himself and play video games together. |
| 826 | * Often visits the House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection for advice on how to improve his love life for if he ever finds the one, and to give his respect [[HappilyMarried to all the genuine couples and sweethearts out there]]. Frollo could be heard screaming at the top of his lungs at the Devil himself coming, only for Satan to condemn him for giving love ''and'' evil a bad name [[BewareTheNiceOnes before lighting him on fire]]. Afterwards Satan swore he'd never touch the Hall of Pantheon/TaintedLove due to his past experiences. [[MoralityPet He's later proven protective of certain couples]] due to respecting their love while being sad it's been persecuted, like Nabi and Doki. |
| 827 | * Any homophobe who thinks they can use [[StraightGay him]] as their justification for [[DepravedHomosexual why homosexuality is bad]] will get a severe talking to, mocking, or him using his demonic powers to teach them a lesson; what happens all depends on how much of a {{Jerkass}} they were. He's kinder to Juzo since a lot of his issues with homosexuality [[ArmouredClosetGay are self-hating]], and has tried to talk him into loving himself as he really doesn't want him to fall prey to guys like Saddam Hussein as he did. On the flip side he has little respect for Bambi "Buck" Hughes as he is a straightforward DepravedHomosexual and [[TheBogan crude Australian]] who's "[[SerialRapist bedroom]] [[ILoveTheDead activities]]" are highly morbid even for someone who runs Hell. |
| 828 | * Don't mess with Christmas either. As mentioned, even people like Hitler get a day off for the holidays. He doesn't like how Winterbolt tried to cancel it in taking over the North Pole, or Robot Santa Claus [[BadSanta for making it a time of fear]], [[GoKartingWithBowser though if he behaves during July he can show up for an Independence Day holiday]]. The latter defended himself by saying he's only punishing naughty kids and is generous to nice boys and girls... [[KnightTemplar there just aren't many of them]]. And SCP-4666 [[HorrifyingTheHorror outright scares the Prince of Darkness]]. The OG Santa Claus appreciates Satan's NobleDemon traits and how he keeps Christmas as a good day in hell. While being the Lord of Darkness [[SlaveToPR means Santa has to give him coal]], he gives him the best-burning coal to make sure Hell never freezes over and has listed him on the "[[AntiVillain Naughty In Name Only]] list". |
| 829 | * Doesn't want to be reminded of the time he started acting like a SpoiledBrat during his Halloween Party and complaining about Diddy already doing what he was planning to do, since he alienated his friends by acting like ItsAllAboutMe; it's why he can't stand Princess Morbucks. He isn't fond of anything about the Freemium market or the Master of Chaldea for being one of the biggest examples of it; he's a purveyor of temptation and vice, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but Freemium is too exploitative for his tastes]]. For this reason alone, he gets along very well with Game, who has expressed more vocal contempt for Free-2-Plays, and those who stand for them, and have even worked together to try and enlighten the uninformed about the psychological dangers of these kinds of games. He doesn't care much of Slaanesh either as s/he takes addiction to pure insanity; corruption needs nuance in it. Still a fan of certain video games, though; he loves ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'' and he's asked deities from that 'verse for an autograph. |
| 830 | * After the disaster that was outsourcing [[SerialKiller the Three Murderers]] to deliver him a cake, he's instead made the much more fun option of letting Pinkie Pie make the desserts for his Halloween parties in exchange for a VIP pass; lord knows the Prince of Darkness appreciates [[FunPersonified the pep she brings]]. For the spooky part, he's outsourced to Jack Skellington. He isn't inviting Ammit because her ability [[CessationOfExistence to kill what's already dead]] freaks him out, even if she keeps promising she's not going to attack the party-goers. If he stood a snowball's chance in Hell of fighting Beerus he'd be on the ban list, but even then he'd be willing to play ball unless [[NastyParty someone tries to attack everyone there]]; then they're getting [[DeaderThanDead the Hakai]]. |
| 831 | ** Absolutely terrified of the idea that Lord English might break in the party to cause double death [[ForTheEvulz just]] [[OmnicidalManiac because]]. [[EvilIsPetty He's petty enough to do it]], but is too busy causing destruction elsewhere. |
| 832 | * Good friends with Grim, as they [[TheDevilIsALoser unintimidating]] [[DeathIsALoser celestial beings]] but when push come to shove they can be badass. One day the two ended up meeting Homer Simpson while shopping for donuts, and out of a lark decided to follow Homer's idea of pranking Ned Flanders. Given "how much of a square he is" (Homer's words) Flanders actually treated Satan with the same fear and disgust most save for devils like Melkor. All three, but especially Homer fell on the floor laughing and Satan was happy that he got to feel like a real Lord of Darkness for once. Afterwards he thanked Homer and told him when he dies he gets 10% off any Duff Beer; it may not seem like much, but when measured over an eternal afterlife... |
| 833 | * [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E5TreehouseOfHorrorIV If one scenario is to be believed]], Flanders ''is'' the Devil[[note]]it's always the one you least suspect[[/note]]. Of course it was just a story [[Pantheon/JokesAndPranks Bart]] made up for Halloween, but Satan likes to pretend otherwise [[{{Troll}} to mess with Flanders]]. This has gotten him attention from Father Karras, Father Merrin and the nuns and sisters of St.Katherine's Parish, and not the attention he wanted. They know [[SatanIsGood he's not that bad a guy]] but [[AntiVillain he's still somewhat villainous]] and [[{{Satan}} his job]] [[VillainByDefault doesn't help him]]. It's more pestering than anything and the worst that's happened to them is being banned from Satan's parties. The Flying Spaghetti Monster decided to vouch that they don't have to worry about the Dark Lord, and while it didn't go anywhere he did make delicious spaghetti for the demon to enjoy. |
| 834 | * Most of his enemies are worse than him, though along with Flanders this certainly isn't the case with Archangel Michael. They're nominally [[EnemyMine in a ceasefire]] after Satan's death and return to Heaven, but given their history and [[ReformedButNotTamed he's still associating himself with the demonic]]. Eventually they set out in an agreement that while they will oppose each other [[SlaveToPR for the sake of their reputations]], [[GoKartingWithBowser they can still go to parties]] and play ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'' together. Michael agreed, and found that he really enjoys playing with the demon. This all disgusted and revolted Malebolgia for going against what a version of {{Satan}} ''should'' be like, and he already hated the South Park incarnation for similar reasons. Michael and Satan just proceeded to flip him off and continue playing. |
| 835 | * Satan's current goal is to collect enough people from the Hall of Pantheon/{{Demons}} to make a gaming squad that'll let him dominate any divinity who wants to challenge him in a video game. Currently he has Anos Voldigoad, [[VillainsOutShopping HIM]] and the Seven Mortal Sins participating. Outside he's invited Beerus, [[Pantheon/{{Sinners}} Set]] and Yato to his gaming pad. Him and Yato get along well as he represents [[LoserDeity the other side of the celestial loser coin]] and he's up for Satan's fun personality. The Prince of Darkness has given him tips about the biology of addiction, [[HiddenDepths as he's quite knowledgeable of the subject]]. [[TheCorrupter Given what he's supposed to be]], he has to be. |
| 836 | * Wishes Rosemary Woodhouse wasn't afraid of her, as he's not the kind of demon she should be afraid of. It hasn't gotten anywhere, but she knows enough about him to not throw a crucifix at his face. He's tried to get her to lighten up by having a contest with another friendly demon, Bendy, over who does the better [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J88BhKrVIpo hula]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INHhsR3t5pM luaus]]. She still isn't convinced, as Bendy has a dangerous side when too much...ink is applied. |
