Veritas the Self-Righteous
Veritas is the father of all devils and the creator of The Seven Hells. He is the wrath of the self-righteous, as well as their inevitable punisher. He delights in mocking those whose sin matches his own, because he now holds a greater understanding of morality and consequence. His only other true form of pleasure comes from killing angels, demons, and his belief that most mortals will eventually find themselves in his realm rather than The Underworld, which he still holds special hatred for. From time to time, he will commune with mortals whose self-importance is beyond redemption, and find ways to ensure they fall.
Among the Arch-Devils he is the most terrifying while also appearing the most mortal. He is a gaunt middle-aged man with pale, parchment like skin adorned with phrases those like him have said. His arms are elongated, going down to his knees. His face however, is strange, the right side of his face appears elven, while his left side is that of a rageful jackal. Sometimes, the two sides of his face argue with each other, reflecting how part of him, the divine part, was The Jackal, first born of the Underworld Queens Ereshi the Crow and Oruna the Owl. He still remembers his origins partially, but given that The Jackal wanted to punish mortals who did wrong in life, and the other half of him wants to punish everyone, including all of The Underworld, the two parts are perfectly content with each other.
