Belphegor is a Greater Demon; particularly one of the Princes of Hell. He is considered the prince of sloth, tricksters, and charletons.
Biography[]
Belphegor was one of Lucifer's followers who fell with him in his uprising against Heaven. They were banished to Hell, and Belphegor was given a realm to rule as they all were. At one point during the centuries, his brother Belial stole this realm from him and greatly wounded him in the process. It is believed he still floats between worlds trying to find his way back.[2]
He eventually regained his physical form at some point prior to 2010. At this time, Sammael gathered all the Princes of Hell to convince them to team up and work together to accomplish their ultimate goal. During the meeting, Belphegor seemingly still had animosity towards Belial as the two completely ignored each other.[3]
