Dispater is the Archduke of the Second Layer of the Ten Hells, Dis.
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.
Personality
Dispater is calm and calculating, yet at the same time utterly paranoid. Dispater never raises his voice because he never needs to. Every word he speaks is chosen, measured, and sharpened for effect. He values order above all else, not out of compassion but because structure gives him absolute oversight and only furthers tighten his grip over Dis. Secrets are his real currency, and he collects them the way other archdevils gather souls. He doesn’t gloat, doesn’t rage, and doesn’t threaten without purpose; his menace comes from the fact that he already knows how every conversation, bargain, and betrayal will end. Yet, after centuries of ruling and dealing in secrets, Dispater has seen countless archdevils fall to their own ambitions, leading him to wonder when it will be his turn to fall as well. He rarely ever leaves the Iron Tower, only ever leaving at Asmodeus' command, and instead controlling the city through his son Balgoor and his powerful armies.
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.
