The Lord of the Hells

Credit: Critical Role

The devil god of the Hells is the master of tyranny and domination, and was the first to instill his despotic will into celestials, creating the first devils. His words are honeyed and carefully crafted, soothing and corrupting the hearts of mortals and immortals alike. The Lord of the Hells rules his domain with an iron fist, and the punishments awaiting those that cross him are the stuff of nightmares. Evil entities pay him tribute right alongside his devils, and many warlocks are drawn to his power.
Depiction:  A twisted image of the celestial blood that once bore him, the Lord of the Hells is portrayed in many tomes and murals as a handsome humanoid with deep red skin and long black hair. Two curling horns rise from his crowned brow, and his lips bear an eternal, knowing grin.
Commandments of The Lord of the Nine Hells

1. Assert dominance and power over others.  Show your strength of will in the image of your Lord.
2. Repay cruelty done unto you with further evil.  If others show you kindness, exploit it.
3. 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.
