Astaroth is a Greater Demon; particularly one of the Princes of Hell. He is the prince of accusers and inquisitors and is associated with lawyers and the misuse of the law.[1] He is also known to tempt men to lie and prey on those who are grieving.[2]
Biography[]
Astaroth was cast out of Heaven along with the other Princes of Hell after Lucifer's uprising. However, he believes he was misjudged and had been wrongfully punished. To this day, whenever he is summoned by a warlock, he pleads his case as to why he should be reinstated as an angel.[1]
Astaroth was present at the meeting of the Princes of Hell called by Sammael in 2010. He remarked that they should all continue to go their separate ways, only seeing each other when fighting for power or territory. Still he listened to Sammael when he explained why they should team up and said they needed to speak about Lucifer.[3]
