Alignment: Lawful Evil Alternate Names: The Lord of the Ninth, The Cloven, Old Hoof and Horn Domains: Knowledge, Order, Trickery Symbol: Three inverted triangles arranged in a long triangle

Asmodeus is Lord of the Ninth, the leader of all devils of the Nine Hells. People know devils to be iron-minded and silver-tongued purveyors of temptation, whose price for their boons can be as dear as one's soul. After transgressing against a god in some way, a person may pray to Asmodeus for something to provide respite during the long wait. Asmodeus is known to grant people what they wish, and thus people pray for all the delights and distractions they desire most from life. Those who transgress in great ways often ask Asmodeus to hide their sins from the gods, and priests say that he will do so, but with a price after death.
