Asmodeus, Lord of the Dark
Lord of the Dark Asmodeus (a.k.a. Azmodius)
Asmodeus, Lord of the Dark, is a sadistic, cunning, and cruel god. His body may be dead, but his mind lives on. He is ever-plotting, ever-scheming. He vies for the freedom he has been denied and will do everything short of destroying the universe to acquire what cannot be his.
Currently, his body is being used as the basis for the three moons of Protus, with his head and subsequently consciousness located in the smallest of the three moons: Dorian. Previously, however, he possessed two forms. One form, his base "humanoid" form, was that of an extremely well-dressed Tiefling with pallid white skin, a sunken and gaunt face, and slicked back black hair. He wore a well-fitting three-piece suit, with suspenders under his coat. His horns rolled back across his head as if they were swept back along with his hair. He had several red, flaming halos surrounding his neck, and the tails on his coat extended and faded into charcoals. At his side was his trusty saber, the SewSword. He also possessed a long tipped tail that was usually curled around his feet. His other form, his "true" form, was that of a hulking red monster, with stretched and torn pig-like features, horns which branched and ended in flaming spikes, and plate armor that seemed to bulge in all of the non-plate areas. In this form, the SewSword split into two swords, and the halos he previously had morphed into massive rings that surround his neck and arms. A Massive red halo forms behind his head, framing his horrific face in a beautiful orange image.
Of course, due to his lack of a material form, he currently relies upon a set of Devils he created before he was killed and split into three. Before he was stripped of his freedom, he used his shard of divinity to create a set of 7 Archdevils who rule over Hell and constantly work to free him from his bonds. These personify his seven "sins", and each of them has a specific part in his master plan.
What will he do next? How will he work to free himself? That is not known at this point, but what is known is that you must avoid the cunning machinations of Hell and its despicable ruler, Asmodeus.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Asmodeus's first and most important goal is to free himself from his death at the hands of En'tr and regain his body. His second goal is to rule all of the planes and place them under one demonic bureaucracy, thusly giving order to even the most chaotic of planes. He is not doing this for entirely evil reasons, but he does wish to let his demonic horde upon the world in a way that would give endless ordered war and a never-ending theatre of battle.
Savvies & Ineptitudes

Social
Contacts & Relations
Asmodeus has a sour reputation in the minds of mortals. Most if not every religion save for the older Teutanic cults and the Cult of Asmodeus see him as a would-be tyrant, a usurper who tried to take down the more righteous En'tr. The Older cults see him as a purveyor of justice and like to ignore the texts surrounding his death. @

Social Aptitude

Mannerisms
Asmodeus constantly walks with his hands behind his back. He tries to behave civilly around most people but can erupt into a fiery temper if provoked.
Speech
Speaks with a deep, booming voice when trying to intimidate, but moves into a lighter "car salesman" esque tone of voice when he is speaking one on one with someone.
Relationships
History
In the beginning, En'tr and Asmodeus met as children in the palace foyer. They were shy at first, but after Asmodeus suggested they play swords out in the garden they immediately came to adore each other. Asmodeus and En'tr shared all their secrets, became each others closest confidants, and had plans to live as a happily married couple for the rest of their lives. However, this changed when En'tr proposed they overthrow the Old Gods. Asmodeus was on board for this, and immediatley helped. They participated in the Eternal War side by side, and their love conquered the cruelty of the Old Regime. Then, Asmodeus began to despise En'tr. It's not known if it was for her power, her status, or her wealth, but he envied his wife. He plotted against her and held a revolt. He and his orcish and demonic followers staged a coup against his former lover. She, in turn, smote him with all of her might, killing him and banishing him to the heavens. He now has an undying hatred for her, and she, in turn, hates him. She will pretend that she wants him back, or that she wants to be in his good graces, but she hates him almost as much as he hates her.

Character Prototype
He is similar to Hades from Hercules in his scheming demeanor and schmoozy attitude. In his more serious moments, he takes on attributes of Frollo from the Hunchback. If there were an actor to play him, it would probably be either Hugo Weaving or Alan Rickman.
