Asmodeus, the Prince of Plots

Devil God of Ambition, Guile, and Power

The all-powerful Archdevil Asmodeus is the master of ambition, guile and power; He is a cunning fiend best known for his proactivity in mortal affairs. His words are honeyed and carefully crafted, soothing and corrupting the mortal heart. He is seen as one of the more "sophisticated" of the Betrayer Princes, a true noble amongst the deceitful or violent gods he calls his peers. Asmodeus often grants wishes and enters into pacts with mortals, giving mortals their deepest desires and most desperate needs for a price. His worshippers range from desperate souls to prosperous merchants, and many warlocks are drawn to his power.

Depiction

A twisted image of the Fey blood that once bore him, the Prince of Plots is revealed in many tomes and murals as a handsome humanoid with deep, red skin and long, black hair. Two curling horns rise from his brow, and his lips bear an eternal, knowing grin.

Commandments of the Prince of Plots

• Employ everything and everyone within your grasp to further your ambitions. Show your strength of will and guile in the image of your Prince.
• Cleanse yourself of excuses and doubt. Drink deep and embrace your true natures.
• As you ascend to power, do not pity or show mercy to those you climb over to get there. The weak do not warrant your compassion—compassion itself is a weakness.
