Beleth
The Prince of Imps
Beleth has served Glasya since the death of his previous mistress, the Hag Countess. Before that he served Moloch.
As one of the greatest spymasters in the Nine Hells, Beleth knows intimate details about nearly every other diabolic noble. He trades information with them, promising to hold this information inviolate for at least 100 years. He will rent out the services of his spies in exchange for political favors, added territories, additional minions, and occasionally souls and treasure. Of the other archdukes, Dispater employs his services most frequently. Bel and Levistus employ him on occasion as well. Baalzebul, Belial and Fierna hate him, blaming him for helping to oust their former ally Moloch. Moloch, of course, hates him most of all.
Rumors say that Beleth reports everything he learns to Asmodeus, making the King of Hell an exception to his usual rules and loyalties.
Because his followers are minor spellcasters such as witches and hedge wizards, he has few rivals for them among the hosts of Hell. However, some of the demon lords, such as Graz'zt, do compete with him for such followers.
