Beelzebub (Barlowe's Hell)

“	What is mine? Hell is mine. Hell's minions are mine. Hell's souls are mine. You are mine. Mine!	„
	~ Beelzebub to Lilith

Summary

“

Nothing. That is good, Lilith. I will not share you- not with Fleurety, not with Agaliarept, and not with the dirt of Humanity.

„

Beelzebub, Prince of Hell was the regent of Hell following the War in Heaven and Lucifer's disappearance. Prior to the fall, Beelzebub was a creation of Lucifer himself, as an unstoppable lieutenant. After taking his place as the leadership of Hell and governor of Dis, he strove to manipulate all of the lower plane, bending the politics of the place to his whims. Aside from this, his sole interest was in Lilith- the former fleeting lover of Lucifer. It was Beelzebub's intention to keep her prisoner, to possess and own her completely.

During the twilight of his rule, he began to lose his grip while in a contest for power with Sargatanas, who had decided to openly rebel against the Crown of Hell in a bid to reach Heaven once more. His fellow Demons Major decided to join the rebellion, leaving Beelzebub dangerously exposed- and without his Lilith, who too had absconded to Sargatanas' court.

The final battle of his war with Sargatanas took place in Dis, his capital, and saw him successfully kill the Usurper- but not before damning himself to ruin, too, destroyed by Semjaza the Watcher, whom he had kept chained up beneath his palace. With his death, Hell was turned to the vision of Sargatanas- slowly, over time, but definitively away from the visage of pure evil it was under Beelzebub, the Fly.

Classification: Demonic Construct

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 0, Demons stand about 10-12 feet tall on average), Magic (All Demons Minor and Major can manipulate glyphs as a form of magic), Immortality (Types 1, 2, and possily 8, demons and souls alike do not age, and view the passage of millennia as merely a beginning; Adramalik believed it possible that there was a single fly amongst his horde that was quintessentially Beelzebub, from which all others sprang), Fire Manipulation (Beelzebub can manipulate flame to create glyphs, a type of magic all of them may make use of), Soul Manipulation (The transmutation of souls into various other forms is one of the most common forms of magic in the verse- shaping them into anything from bricks, to weapons, or beasts; Demons may obliterate souls by targeting the Burden whenever they wish), Telekinesis (Demons may move objects via telekinesis- in this instance, it is used to rapidly build up a wall), Power Nullification (Demons can nullify glyphs of other demons, though generally to do so in-combat they need to be specifically prepared or outright stronger than the opponent demon), Pain Manipulation (Demons can create staggering pain in the very soul by targeting their "Burden"- a coalescence of all that soul's sins that forms tangibly as a black mucus-like orb stuck to their body after they die; Beelzebub can ignite pain in even a soulless demon via his Invocation of Attonement), Information Analysis, Psychometry (Demons can use glyphs to discern the true nature of a Soul; this generally includes things like what they did in their lives and who they were, as these facts determine whether souls are fit to become certain higher elevations of transmutation, such as warbeasts), Homing Attack (Sigils and glyphs track down those whose glyphs are integrated into it- this is most often used as a means of calling certain demons or delivering commands), Energy Projection (Demons can form projectiles from glyphs to attack enemies), Adhesive Manipulation (Demons can attach armor to themselves via common Glyphs, ensuring it cannot be removed), Weapon Mastery, Sealing (Beelzebub is capable of using sealing glyphs, making it impossible to enter without first disabling the glyphs or giving the password), Madness Manipulation (Type 3, Beelzebub's Rotunda has been designed such that it will drive even demons to madness with its foulness), Mind Manipulation (Beelzebub twisted the minds of the native Sag-Hrim, focusing them on humanity), Summoning (Beelzebub knows the magic used to summon thousands of legionaries from lava), Corruption (Types 1 and 2, should one of Beelzebub's flies enter the subject, they corrupt the soul and mind of the target, bending them to Beelzebub's will), Body Puppetry (Beelzebub can control numerous targets at once- seemingly one for each of his flies- if his fly can enter into the target, such as he did with Husk Faraii and an unnamed legionary), Shapeshifting, Bodily Weaponry (He can greatly control the shape and size of his flies, massively growing them and granting them bodily weaponry when so desired- sufficient that each one can raze buildings and tear other demons apart with ease), Weather Manipulation (With his magic he can control the weather, such as inducing a fog for favorable visibility conditions in battle; he does this later during the Battle of the Keep to prevent easy communication between units), Regeneration (High-Mid, can regenerate body parts of himself or one of his vessels via flies, as he did for Lucifuge Rofocale), Limited Intangibility (He can dissipate both himself and his vessels into flies in response to attacks, essentially allowing any given attack to phase through him and miss), Electricity Manipulation (Beelzebub can use lightning strikes to destroy huge swathes of area), Magma Manipulation (Beelzebub appeared to have created great vents of magma from which he could summon his legions), Matter Manipulation (Beelzebub can generate fireballs strong enough to vaporize even mighty soul beasts such as a Behemoth), Curse Manipulation (He can weave curses and glyphs into his architecture as traps), Statistics Amplification (He can use glyphs that vastly increase his attack speed), Danmaku (Beelzebub can generate hundreds of attacks in a single barrage with one glyph), Life Manipulation, Organic Manipulation (Beelzebub was responsible for the spell that covered all of Hell in flesh and rendering the terrain an aberrant lifeform in of itself), Extrasensory Perception (Beelzebub can track his individual flies no matter where they go), Telepathy (He can communicate telepathically with any being or creature corrupted by the presence of one of his flies), Physics Manipulation (Beelzebub's palace should not be physically capable of standing, and were it not for his power, it would tumble)

Attack Potency: Small Town level (Vaporized an entire behemoth, leaving a flaming pit where it stood)

Speed: At least Superhuman movement speed (Can easily keep up with even extremely powerful demons such as Sargatanas, and outright blitz ones like Lucifuge Rofocale) at least Subsonic+ flight speed and combat speed (Implied to be faster than Sargatanas whilst he flew, who could make the weeks-long trip from Adamantinarx to Dis in mere days)

Lifting Strength: Class K (He hurled hundreds of legionary bodies at Sargatanas in a cyclone during his battle with him; Should be far greater than Moloch, who could physically rip a legionary in half)

Striking Strength: Small Town level (Easily overpowered Sargatanas Lux briefly)

Durability: Small Town level (Endured an all-out attack from Sargatanas Lux, albeit while sustaining significant injury)

Stamina: At least Superhuman, even Demons Minor could make the weeks-long trip between Askad and Dis severely wounded with no rest; Beelzebub is notably physically superior to any and all demons

Range: Varies from Several Meters to Hundreds of Meters "physically", up to Tens of Kilometers via Glyphs (During the Battle of the Keep, he fired glyphs from his Rotunda all across the ruins of Dis)

Standard Equipment: Unnamed sword

Intelligence: At least Genius, likely Extraordinary Genius, was outsmarting Sargatanas in terms of political espionage as well as battlefield tactics- although he ultimately lost the day

Weaknesses: Extremely, ridiculously possessive of Lilith, to the point that it can cloud his judgement and severely alter his personality
