Asmodeus (D&D)

Asmodeus is a villain from Dungeons and Dragons, he rules over the nine Hells of Baator and is considered the grand ruler of Lawful Evil beings.

History
Although accounts of Asmodeus's past vary, there are many fatcs that are held by all. During the Creation War, a greater force sent Asmodeus to lead a Host of Angels against the various evil hoards of The Abyss. After the war was over, most of the Angels had become demonic in nature. Asmodeus stood as the ruler of fallen angels and remaining Devils alike.

Some time after this Asmodeus became involved with the politics of teh Gods, inventing punishment in order to enforce their laws. in return the Gods gave him Baator, an abandoned hell with seven planes. Asmodeus built two more levels onto the plane of Baator, and transformed it into a place of eternal damnation for evil souls. Once he controlled evil souls, Asmodeus set forth corrupting as many as he could, in order to increase his own power

Physical Description
Asmodeus is known for being charismatic, handsome, and increidbly intelligent, he is known for creating schemes taht would not come to furition for enturies, if not millenia. Asmodeus is also a very powerful warrior (in an early AD&D manual said he was teh physically strongest of all devils). He is also a powerful magic user, made even more powerful by his use of the Ruby Rod of Asmodeus, which gives him nearly infinite magical power.

It has been said that Asmodeus' true form is a great serpent large enough to wrap itself around Baator, but most of the time Asmodeus takes the form of a 13' demonic human. His humanoid form is notably handsome, and usually decked out in ornate jewelry and regal robes.
