About

History

The history and origins of Asmodeus are mired in rumor, legend, and mystery, with only the most powerful of gods and most ancient of evils knowing his true past.

Responsibilites

Per the Pact Primeval, it is Asmodeus' duty to protect Quelmar and every other plane from the intrusion of demons, who attempt to escape and intrude upon the realm from The Abyss.

Ruby Rod

Asmodeus' Ruby Rod is the source of his divine power. With it, he can challenge the gods themselves, but without it his is not more than a powerful devil. The Ruby Rod was created from the divine heart of the Shattered Mountain. It gives Asmodeus complete control over the Ten Hells and is used to empower his archdevils.

Talents

Asmodeus can play the following instruments, and when performing, typically plays between 3 and 4 of them at the same time.

• Triangle
• Kazoo
• Recorder
• Accordion
• Bagpipes
• Vibraslap
• Otamatone

Forms

Asmodeus typically takes on a medium humanoid form wearing a regal outfit, but has been known to take other forms on occasion.

Devil Dragon

Asmodeus' most intimidating and physically powerful form is that over a massive wyrm-sized dragon. Over fifty feet tall, when Asmodeus takes the form of the realms' most dangerous serpent, he can swallow small villages in one bite. However, Asmodeus is not able to sustain this form for more than a few seconds when outside of the Ten Hells. When on his native layer, Asmodeus can stay in the form indefinitely, providing the ultimate challenge for anyone who attempts to attack Asmodeus on his home turf.

Pets

Cerberus is Asmodeus' pet and most loyal guard dog, residing as the last form of defense before accessing Asmodeus' throne chambers. When not in guarding formation, Cerberus can take the form of a medium sized hell hound and travel along Asmodeus' side.
