Physical Appearance

Dispater is a large armored devil wearing heavy cast iron armor. The armor has little in plaes or segments, rather it moves as if were made of liquid molten metal, shifting as Dispater moves. Since Dispater has never been seen without it, many believe this armor is actually his skin. He wears large pauldrons made of sharp spines and nails, and trailing behind him is a vast cape made of ash, smoke, and night itself. His helmet its crowned with fire and the symbol of his authority, his mask shaped to look like a growling devil and his eyes burning hotter then the forges of his many factories. At all time he carries his Iron Staff. The staff of shaped to resemble his iron tower and is crowned with one of the shard of the Ruby Rod, the very artifact that gives Dispater complete control over DIis.

History

Little is known about Dispater's life before they became a devil. Some believe he was a tyrannical king, while others claim he was a paladin of Asmodeus who slew hundreds in the name of the Hells. But whoever they may have been, when Dispater arrived in the Hells they were already on the fast track to becoming an archdevil. But this was from a time at the beginnings of recorded history when the Hells were still freshly made, so nothing is for certain.

Dispater quickly found a place at Asmodeus' side, serving as one of Asmodeus' advisors and enforcers. Early into his infernal career, Dispater found kinship with another rising devil, the Pit Fiend Bel who was making a name for themselves in the Blood War. Both shared a similar desire for order and absolute rule, and so throughout the centuries they found themselves to be staunch allies and trade partners, with Dispater selling Bel weapons and Bel selling Dispater souls and secrets.

As decades past, the Hells continued to grow. Starting with one layer, then two, then three, and more, with Asmodeus always ruling from the bottommost layer. When Asmodeus departed the second layer to go and rule the third, he left the layer under the command of Dispater who named the layer after himself. During his rule of Dis, Asmodeus had begun toe construction of a great city, a project Dispater would continue expanding for the rest of his days. In the center Dispater would construct a massive tower from which he would lord over his new kingdom.
