Maou

Maou  is the secondary antagonist of the anime and manga series Love Tyrant.

Maou is the current leader of Hell who had acquired the position when Mavuro left upon conceiving Guri. Feeling that he wasn't fit to rule over Hell, Maou tried to convince Mavuro to reconsider; when that didn't work in his favor, Maou set his eyes on Guri as a potential heir. Maou first appears in episode six of the anime, in which he makes himself an univited guest at Kami's residence. Apparently, Maou and Kami tend to have beverages together a few times, but they also argue on which direction Guri should take. Seiji bluntly tells the two that Guri isn't the type to be interested in either responsibility, which they acknowledge. Both deities agree to stand aside on what should be done for Guri.

Maou reappears again having manipulated a young man into dating Guri. He would have succeeded at the last moment had Guri not have been reminded of a special moment between her and Seiji. Having failed, Maou removes his influence from the young man, and gets confronted by Korari for interfering. At some point, Maou makes acquaintances with Shikimi, and makes a deal with her. As part of the plan, Shikimi manipulates Guri into avoiding Seiji for an  entire week, claiming it's to help her realize her feelings for Seiji. When Guri is found, Seiji bluntly tells her that she had been a thorn in his side since they first met. This causes Guri to retreat into black feathers. Maou arrives to gloat about how Guri had fallen because of Seiji neglecting her for a week. Guri erupts from the feathers as a demon, and goes out to reap the love from the populace. Before leaving, Maou is reminded of a promise that he had made to Shikimi, of which the implications are unknown.
