Levistus - Archduke of Stygia
Levistus is the Archdevil of Pride and the Archduke of Stygia, the fifth layer of the Nine Hells. He is a self-centred and megalomaniacal Devil who is despised by most of the key players in the Nine Hells.
Levistus’ arrogance is legendary, he believes himself superior to all over Devils, often publicly claiming it. He was obsessed with his appearance and even his combat skills, he was notorious for challenging his enemies to one-on-one duels to the death, forced to cheat when things didn’t go his way. This arrogance also means that Levistus doesn’t practise much restraint and is very easy to goad, this has resulted in many close assassination attempts that Levistus never seems to learn from.
While Levistus is charming and relatively clever, evidenced by his position as Archduke, he lacks any political tact. He is openly treacherous and acts without consideration for others which inevitably makes him a lot of enemies.
Levistus is currently imprisoned in a glacier of ice as a punishment for his arrogance. In his trapped state Levistus can only telepathically communicate with his minions and servants, ruling Stygia by word and forced loyalty. Levistus has organised massive efforts to dig him out of the ice that has been going on for centuries, oblivious to those waiting patiently for his escape, planning to finally end the annoyance of Levistus for good.
Apperance
Levistus is a masculine presenting humanoid, a short and lithe figure with pale blue skin, mid-length white hair, black eyes, pointed horns, bat-like wings and a pointed tail. He would commonly be dressed in ostentatious regal clothing and finery. He would also carry a shining rapier. Currently Levistus is trapped at the centre of a vast glacier of ice, suspended cold and motionless.History
During the Silver Age Levistus’ arrogance and desire for power would eventually lead him to publicly challenge Asmodeus to a one-on-one duel for control over the Nine Hells. While Asmodeus toyed with Levistus to begin with, they would eventually turn the tables, causing Levistus to panic and call on his allies and the other Archdukes to aid him. Upon realising no one was coming to his aid the humiliated Levistus attempted to flee only to be trapped in a block of ice by Asmodeus. But he was not stripped of his title and position, much to the confusion of the other Archdevils. Levistus was placed at the core of a massive glacier at the centre of Stygia, turning the proud Levistus, who flaunted his graceful agility, into a symbol of humiliation and immobility.
