Archdevils

The archdevils were powerful, unique devils. The most powerful archdevils were the Lords of the Nine.
Hierarchy The position of archdevils in the hierarchy of Baator was clear: archdevils were the most powerful and were, therefore, on top. The most powerful of the archdevils were the archdukes, also called the Lords of the Nine. Other archdevils were dukes, ruling portions of a layer, generals, or bureaucrats of various sorts.

Other Archdevils Of course, due to the nature of politics in the Nine Hells, archdevils wound up exiled or dead at various times. Some exiles remained in the Nine Hells (such as Geryon and his court, listed above), while others were forced to leave completely.
Additionally, the dragon goddess Tiamat spent some time as an archdevil after her Untheric aspect was killed. She was ruler of Avernus during her time there. Another archduke that wasn't an archdevil was 

• Malagard the Hag Countess, who ruled Malbolge before Glasya. She was actually a supremely powerful night hag, rather than a devil.

Exiled Archdevils Some archdevils, former archdukes, were exiled or imprisoned, but survived. These included:

• Gargauth: A once-powerful archdevil who left the Hells for unknown reason.
• Malkizid: Also called the Branded King, Malkizid was a fallen solar who became an archdevil. He was exiled after earning Asmodeus' disfavor, and went to reside in the Blood Rift.
• Nergal: An archdevil exiled by Asmodeus.
• Moloch: Former Lord of the Sixth, Moloch was exiled for rebellion by Asmodeus.
