Summary
Belial is an Archdevil of Baator and member of the Lords of the Nine, the group controlling the collective layers of Hell. At least, this was the case prior to the Reckoning, at which point he was ousted from his position by Asmodeus, whom he failed to overthrow in a rebellion. Now he merely guides his daughter in her time of leading his layer of Baator.
Belial is, much like all other Archdevils, a schemer. He seeks to take over two other layers of Baator below his fourth layer, and has only recently been halted by the presence of Asmodeus' daughter, Glaysa. Belial spends his days supporting all that which makes up his concept- secrets, domination, and seduction. He is the consort to his own daughter, an affair which allows him to maintain power in Hell.
