 * Barbarian Heroine: From the Kellid tribe of The Six Bears.

Ezren Zefiir
"Race: Human (Taldan)

Class: Wizard

Alignment: Neutral Good

"Race: Human (Vudran)

Class: Monk

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Homeland: Vudra"


 * Ambiguously Brown: It depends on the artist, but sometimes he looks like a light-skinned black man or a dark-skinned Asian man. Since Vudra (the land he came from) has some Indian elements, it's safe to assume that he is supposed to look like an Indian man.

 * Sealed Evil in A Can

Class: Wizard

Alignment: Neutral Good"

Abadar
"Master of the First Vault

God of cities, wealth, merchants, and law

Alignment: Lawful Neutral"


 * Ancient Keeper: Abadar is the Master of the First Vault, a storehouse in his realm of Axis where a perfect copy of every single object ever made is stored.
 * The Chessmaster
 * Honest Corporate Executive: Honest enough that he has paladins in his service.
 * Physical God
 * Utopia Justifies the Means: A lighter example. He's perfectly willing to accept practices such as slavery as long as he believes it's for the greater good of the community.

Asmodeus
"Prince of Darkness

God of tyranny, slavery, pride, and contracts

Alignment: Lawful Evil"


 * Affably Evil: He puts this face forward, particularly when dealing with the good gods.

 * Dark Is Evil
 * Deal With the Devil: God of contracts.
 * Devil but No God: Asmodeus had a brother and opposite number once. He killed him.

 * Evil Counterpart: To Ihys.
 * The Evils of Free Will: Asmodeus's motivation for trying to grind all creation under his Lawful Evil heel.
 * God of Evil: One of several.
 * He-Man Woman Hater: Asmodeus is an unrepentant misogynist and refers to females as "the second gender". This is why there are no female archdevils (unlike Hell's D&D counterpart). However, this did not stop The Whore Queens from becoming the second-most powerful devils in Hell (after the archdevils).
 * Hell
 * Horned Humanoid
 * I Gave My Word: Asmodeus always honours his bargains.
 * Kick the Son of A Bitch: He enjoys tormenting Rovagug by dangling the key to his prison just out of reach. This would be bad were he not doing it to, you know, Rovagug.

 * Man of Wealth and Taste
 * Men Don't Cry: He shed the first and last tear in his existence when he killed his brother Ihys. See also Manly Tears.

 * Parental Favoritism: His favorite "son" is Mephistopheles; The Unfavorite is Baalzebul.
 * Physical God
 * Pride: God of it and victim of it.
 * Public Domain Character: Asmodeus is a Hebrew demon associated with lust. The Pathfinder version takes a page from Dungeons and Dragons by basing him heavily on Satan as well.
 * Rules Lawyer
 * Satan: He is the Prince of Darkness and ruler of Hell. Differs from previous D&D interpretations in that he is not a fallen angel, but has always been a god in his own right (and was the brother and coequal of Ihys, the closest being to the Abrahamic God in the setting, who he killed.)
 * Truly Single Parent: He personally created most of the archdevils and considers himself their father. Of the eight archdevils, the only one known not to be his son is Barbatos.
 * Villainous Valour: When he, along with Sarenrae, imprisoned Rovagug at tremendous risk to themselves.
 * Visionary Villain
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: What's really scary about Asmodeus is that he truly believes in his cause and desires nothing but eternal peace and order... achieved through brutal suppression and tyranny.

Calistria
"The Savored Sting

Goddess of trickery, lust, and revenge

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral"

Erastil
"Old Deadeye

God of farming, hunting, trade, and family

Alignment: Lawful Good"


 * Arcadia
 * The Archer
 * Badass Grandpa
 * Deliberate Values Dissonance: He has some rather old-fashioned notions about men and women, to the point that many of his contemporaries feel he's a bit behind the times. Played with via his contemporary Fandarra, who Erastil finds too bound to old traditions.
 * Elderly Immortal: When not adopting the form of an elk-headed archer, he usually appears as an older man of common birth.
 * Good Old Ways
 * Grumpy Old Man
 * Heroic Neutral: Erastil and his followers are all about community, and for the most part, are willing to leave everybody alone. If you screw with one of his communities, however, you will regret it.
 * Horned Humanoid: Has elk antlers in one of his forms.
 * In-Series Nickname: Old Deadeye
 * The Older Immortal: Very much so. He's one of the first gods, and adopts that look.
 * Physical God
 * Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: Erastil is a trifle blunt, particularly with regards to the other gods.
 * Stay in The Kitchen: To a degree, though he's not completely inflexible. Erastil has no problem with strong women, he just feels they should be married to equally strong men. He also had a rather grudging admiration for Iomedae and Sarenrae.

Gorum
"Our Lord in Iron

God of strength, battle, and weapons

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral"


 * Animated Armor
 * As Long As There Is War: It's said that if all the people of Golarion ever stopped fighting, Gorum would wither away.
 * Badass: All of the gods step lightly around Gorum. There's a reason for that.
 * BFS: Usually pictured with one.
 * Blood Knight
 * Colonel Kilgore
 * Know When to Fold'Em: Despite what one might expect, Gorum recognises the difference between cowardice and strategic withdrawal, and doesn't expect his followers to continue fighting against impossible odds. If they can escape to fight another day he is cool with that.
 * Might Makes Right
 * Physical God
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * War God: Gorum represents war as a whole, the good and the bad.
 * War Is Glorious: His cardinal belief.
 * Wouldn't Hit a Girl/Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Gorum strongly frowns on the killing of noncombatants, including women, children, and the elderly. Now, if any of the above enter the combat they become fair game.

 * Breast Plate: Minor example. She's covered completely, but the armour on her chest is more form-fitting than it needs to be.
 * Chosen One: Chosen by Aroden.
 * Church Militant: Served by several orders of them and was once a member herself.
 * Did They or Didn't They?: There are rumours that Peace Through Vigilance, a young celestial gold dragon who has sworn himself to her service, is her child by Apsu the Waybringer. The fact that Peace Through Vigilance refers to her as "Mother Iomedae" doesn't help.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: The longsword is her weapon of choice.
 * Hot Chick With a Sword: Assuming you don't mind the Tomboy look.
 * Jeanne D Archetype: Right down to the haircut.
 * Knight in Shining Armor
 * Knight Templar: Some of her followers can veer into this, especially in the Worldwound/Mendev.

 * The Paladin: She was one as a human and maintains the attitude now, dedicating herself to the destruction of the Worldwound and other good causes.
 * Physical God
 * War God: Her portfolio, combined with her militaristic nature often causes people to view her as such in-universe, despite her refusal to accept the title; she is typically associated with just wars, and the necessity of fighting when all else fails.

God of history, knowledge, and self-perfection

Alignment: Lawful Neutral"


 * Ascend to A Higher Plane of Existence: He achieved physical and mental perfection and was elevated to godhood, without taking the test of Starstone.

 * Axe Crazy
 * Corrupt the Cutie: Her objective regarding Shelyn.
 * Dark Is Evil
 * Demon Lord: As both a god and a Demon Lord, Lamashtu holds the title of "Queen of Demons", making her Pathfinder's rough equivalent to Demogorgon from Dungeons and Dragons.

 * Eats Babies: Or at least demands their sacrifice.
 * Evil Matriarch
 * Eviler Than Thou: With Pazuzu, Nocticula, Urgathoa, Rovagug, and any other being whom she sees as a potential rival. She also declared war on the entirety of Abaddon in the past, and the grudges from that campaign still linger; Lamashtu is not popular with the Four Horsemen.

 * Foe Yay: Towards Shelyn, who she wants to corrupt.
 * God of Evil
 * God Save Us From the Queen

"The Reaper of Reputation

God of greed, secrets, poison, and murder

Alignment: Neutral Evil"

God of wrath, disasters, and destruction

Alignment: Chaotic Evil"


 * Apocalypse How: Seeks to set of a Class Z.
 * Arch Enemy: Of the gods and existence itself, but especially of Sarenrae, who imprisoned him.
 * Bad Boss: Rovagug will destroy his own minions the moment he does not need them anymore. In fairness to him, he didn't ask for their help in the first place.
 * Big Bad: Of the setting as a whole, though he really isn't up to much plotting.
 * Dark Is Evil
 * The Dreaded
 * Eldritch Abomination: Rovagug crawled into existence from somewhere at the edge of reality with plans to destroy it.
 * Fighting a Shadow: Rovagug's spawn are so powerful that almost none have been permanently defeated, and yet they're still nothing to the god itself.
 * God of Evil: The worst in the pantheon, he literally represents the end of all existence.
 * The Gods Must Be Lazy: Sealing Rovagug took the cooperation of every single deity in the pantheon, which makes sense, but they haven't done much to fight the Spawn emerging from the holes in his prison.
 * Kill the God: Slew numerous other deities and seeks the destruction of the entire cosmos, gods included. Rovagug himself seems immune to this--the aforementioned destruction of the universe may well be the only way for him to die.
 * Hero-Killer: Slew countless other deities during the war against him.
 * The Juggernaut: Rovagug is this from the perspective of the other gods.
 * Kaiju: All of his offspring, including the infamous Tarrasque. Rovagug himself appears as an impossibly huge insect/arachnid/reptile monstrosity.
 * Misanthrope Supreme: Again, lots of his followers.
 * Nietzsche Wannabe: A lot of his followers fall under this.
 * Omnicidal Maniac: Wants the end of everything, universe and all. A major cause of Enemy Mines among the other gods.

 * Badass: Sarenrae went toe-to-toe with Rovagug while everyone else (except Asmodeus) was cowering in fear.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: She may be the most forgiving god in the pantheon, but push her and her followers too far...
 * Celestial Paragons and Archangels: Was once one of the most powerful Empyreal Lords, before ascending to true godhood during the war against Rovagug.
 * Council of Angels: She was an archangel before becoming a god. Many of her current servants and allies are her fellow Empyreal Lords and their servants.
 * Enemy Mine: With Asmodeus during the war with Rovagug. She threw Rovagug into the rift, while Asmodeus sealed him up.
 * Flaming Hair
 * Flaming Sword
 * Good Is Not Soft: One of the kindest beings in the multiverse, but she has a militant side. Consider what she did to Rovagug. She also has a whole sect of True Neutral worshipers (the Cult of the Dawnflower) who focus on her warlike side to the exclusion of her merciful aspect.
 * Good Wings, Evil Wings: Good wings.
 * Hot Chick With a Sword
 * Kill It With Fire
 * Knight Templar: Some of her followers, especially in the south, can fall into this, despite Sarenrae's objections.

 * Even the Girls Want Her: All the gods love Shelyn, even the evil, mad, or monstrous ones -- although not necessarily in a way she's comfortable with.
 * Friend to All Living Things
 * I Know You Are in There Somewhere Fight: With Zon-Kuthon. There is some indication that Dou-Bral is still in there, as Zon-Kuthon refuses to harm Shelyn.
 * Love Goddess
 * Love Redeems: She certainly believes so.
 * The Messiah: Ever moreso than Sarenrae. Shelyn believes everyone is worth saving, and her paladin code requires that all enemies be given the chance to redeem themselves.
 * Mismatched Eyes: She's described as sometimes having blue eyes, sometimes silver, and sometimes one blue and one silver.
 * Physical God
 * The Power of Love
 * Unholy Holy Sword: Shelyn once shared a glaive with her half-brother Dou-Bral as their favoured weapon; when he returned from the void as Zon-Kuthon, he had corrupted it into the Whisperer of Souls. Shelyn took it back during their initial fight, and is now trying to release the souls imprisoned within it.

 * Sinister Scythe
 * The Undead: She was the very first undead creature.
 * Unholy Matrimony: She's actually a big fan of marriage, believing fully that a shared pleasure is doubled.

 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The only god he will never seek to harm is his sister, Shelyn.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: Envy is a part of his portfolio, and is what originally spurred him to exile himself to the Outer Planes--he couldn't stand always being second best to his sister.
 * Go Mad From the Revelation: Whatever Zon-Kuthon found in his journey throughout the multiverse drove him completely insane.
 * God of Evil: One of several.
 * Good Is Bad and Bad Is Good: To Zon-Kuthon, beauty is mutilation, love is misery, music is screams, and creation is torture.
 * Nightmare Fetishist
 * Physical God
 * Prophecy Twist: Abadar convinced Zon-Kuthon to stay in exile on the Plane of Shadow until the sun vanished from the sky, in exchange for an item from the First Vault. This was supposed be when the sun burned out billions of years from then, but due to the Age of Darkness, it technically happened much sooner.
 * Red Baron: The Midnight Lord
 * Sealed Evil in A Can: He was once in exile on the Plane of Shadow, but eventually got out.
 * Too Kinky to Torture: All of his followers.
 * Used to Be A Sweet Kid: Zon-Kuthon was originally Dou-Bral, who shared the portfolio of beauty with Shelyn.

 * Big Creepy Crawlies: A giant preying mantis.
 * God of Evil: Demigod actually, but since evil is among his domains it still fits.

 * God Couple: With Tiamat, prior to her siding with Dahak. And then there's the rumours about he and Iomedae, which given their overlapping portfolios, don't seem too far fetched.
 * Old Gods: One of the oldest beings around, Apsu is, if you believe the metallic dragons, one of the beings responsible for the creation of the universe.
 * Our Dragons Are Different: Takes the form of a massive metallic dragon.
 * Public Domain Character: He is based on the creator-god Abzu from Babylonian mythology.

 * Pirate Booty: Pirates often drop treasure into the ocean to appease her, which she then guards with sea monsters.
 * Pirate Girl
 * Red Baron: She's known as the Pirate Queen.
 * Sea Monster: Besmara is the goddess of all kinds of sea monsters, from sea serpents and krakens to giant crabs and sharks. Unlike Lamashtu, or Dagon (arguably her Evil Counterpart) she doesn't actually create these monsters; she just bullies them into submission.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: She often chooses to appear this way.
 * Turncoat: She will turn on her allies in a moment if it gives her the upper hand, and encourages the same behavior from her worshipers.

Dahak
"The False Wyrm

God of destruction, dragons, evil, and treachery

Alignment: Chaotic Evil"


 * Alternate Company Equivalent: Although the goddess Tiamat exists in both D&D and Pathfinder, she is practically a non-entity so far in the world of Golarion. Dahak (her and Apsu's son in this continuity) takes her place as god of evil dragons.
 * Antagonistic Offspring: To his father, Apsu the Waybringer.
 * Arch Enemy: Of Apsu.
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Treachery is a part of his portfolio after all.

 * Satan: The dragonic equivalent, being the rebellious, destructive son of their creator god who seeks to place himself above all others.

 * The Immune: Grants those who follow him immunity to disease.

 * Multiple Choice Past: The game offers several possibilities for Ghlaunder's origins.
 * Plaguemaster: One of many in the setting. His cultists are frequent allies of Apollyon, Horseman of Pestilence, because of this.
 * Poisonous Person/Typhoid Mary: Turns his followers into these.
 * Red Baron: The Gossamer King.
 * The Swarm: Unleashes swarms of mosquitoes and other blood sucking insects.
 * Villain Team-Up: His followers are prone to allying with the Horsemen, and especially cultists of Apollyon, though Ghlaunder is careful--he knows the Horsemen see the universe as a zero sum game that ends in apocalypse.

Groetus
"God of the End Times

Demigod of empty places, ruins, and oblivion

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral"


 * The End of the World As We Know It: The proper God of the End Times, Groetus' job is to turn out the lights after everyone else leaves.
 * The Fatalist: The few among his followers who are not completely insane are inevitably this type of personality.
 * Omnicidal Maniac: Averted. Groetus is Chaotic Neutral not Chaotic Evil. He will end the universe only after Pharasma has judged the last mortal soul, and not before.
 * Power of the Void
 * That's No Moon: The moon hanging over Pharasma's boneyard? That's him.
 * Weird Moon: His symbol is a skull overlapping the moon.

 * The Power of Hate
 * Red Baron: Angry Hag.
 * Wicked Witch: Called the Angry Hag for a reason.

Ihys
"God of creation and free will (deceased)

Alignment: Chaotic Good"


 * Crystal Dragon Jesus: He's very similar to Ahura Mazda, the creator god of Zoroastrianism (and bears more than a little resemblance to the God of Abraham as well). Fittingly, his brother Asmodeus's name is a Greek corruption of Aeshma Daeva, a Zoroastrian demon (and servant of Ahura's Evil Counterpart, Angra Mainyu).
 * Devil but No God: See Asmodeus above.
 * God: Not quite in the Abrahamic sense, because he coexisted with Asmodeus since the beginning and did not create everything by himself. However, Ihys was the first to create speech and life and is indirectly responsible for the creation of all mortals.
 * Good Counterpart: To Asmodeus.
 * My Death Is Just the Beginning: Although Ihys was killed by Asmodeus, the trauma of killing him led Asmodeus to allow mortals free will (see below), if only to prove Ihys wrong.
 * Order Versus Chaos: The original conflict between the gods was between the forces of Law, led by Asmodeus, who believed that mortals should be no more than tools for the gods; and the forces of Chaos, led by Ihys, who believed that mortals should have free will.
 * Posthumous Character
 * Physical God

 * Master Poisoner
 * Red Baron: The Headless King
 * Snakes Are Evil: Damn straight.
 * Snake People: God of them.

Zyphus
"The Grim Harvestman

Demigod of accidental death, graveyards, and tragedy

Alignment: Neutral Evil"


 * Arch Enemy: The closest thing Pharasma has to one.
 * Black Cloak
 * Dark Is Evil
 * Dropped a Bridge On Him: This happened to Zyphus when he was a mortal, and it is the reason why he rejected Pharasma's judgement. Those who fear this happening to them often serve him, and he may steal the souls of those who die in this fashion.
 * Enemies With Death: With both the concept and Pharasma herself, although he keeps things fairly civil.
 * Friendly Enemies: Zyphus hates Pharasma, but is smart enough to understand his limits, and therefore keeps things civil between the two of them, even as his cultists plot against hers.
 * The Grim Reaper: He resembles the classic archetype, though he wields a pick instead of a scythe.
 * Kill the God: His ultimate objective/
 * Make It Look Like an Accident: Helps his followers to do this.
 * Nietzsche Wannabe: Of a different flavour from the followers of Rovagug (who think that all his meaningless before the tide of destruction) and the Horsemen (who think that the meaninglessness of the universe renders existence itself a curse). Instead, Zyphus and his followers take issue with the random pointlessness that governs the world, and take it to mean that the gods are not doing their jobs, and the universe needs fixing.
 * Powerful Pick: Favours the heavy pick as his Weapon of Choice.
 * Rage Against the Heavens: Zyphus hates the gods and attracts followers with a similar outlook on life.
 * Red Baron: Grim Harvestman.
 * The Undead: Was the first being to die an accidental death and refuse to accept Pharasma's judgement, returning to life and ascending to demigod status. Since he was already dead, he's essentially an ascended ghost rather than an ascended mortal.
 * Villain Team-Up: As a Neutral Evil deity residing in Abaddon, and an enemy of the very idea of both the gods and there being such a thing as an appropriate death, Zyphus' cultists are among the most frequent allies of the Four Horsemen. Zyphus himself seems to view the Horsemen as natural allies, though he deals with them with care, and he is the only god whose followers regularly summon daemons, particularly those related to accidental death.

Archfiends
A general term for demon lords, archdevils, archdaemons, and other fiendish demigods. Most notable amongst them are the Demon Lords of the Abyss, The Four Horsemen who rule Abbadon, and the lords of the nine layers of Hell.

 * Eviler Than Thou: Ahriman is an ascended Neutral Evil archfiend with a portfolio involving oblvion who resides in Abaddon, so one could be forgiven for thinking that he and the daemons would get along. They do not, and he and his divs regularly go to war with the agents of the Horsemen.
 * Good Wings, Evil Wings: Evil wings.
 * Just Eat Him: Ahriman can swallow people whole. Those swallowed by him fall into a Bottomless Pit for eternity.
 * Large and In Charge

 * Human Sacrifice: Demands that the Spawn of Angazhan sacrifice human captives to him.
 * Hungry Jungle: Lord of it.

(He also has various chimpanzee- and baboon-like minions, but gorillas are his favorite.)
 * Jungle Drums: The apemen, girallons, and local natives all use drums in their worship of Angazhan.
 * Large and In Charge: Takes the form of a huge, red, six-fingered gorilla.
 * Maniac Monkeys: He takes the form of a colossal red ape, is worshipped by the charau-ka and the high girallons, and is served by fiendish dire apes, girallons, and other jungle monsters.

Apollyon
"The Prince of Plagues

 * Archdaemon: One of the Four archdaemons who rule Abbadon in concert.
 * Artifact of Doom: Creates artifacts and unholy weapons that he than turns loose on the Material Plane to corrupt those mortals who find them.
 * Asskicking Equals Authority: When his predecessor, Yrsinius vanished, Apollyon defeated all-comers to become the new Horseman of Pestilence. Daemon society in general is also structured this way.

 * Evilutionary Biologist
 * Flaying Alive: Wears the hides of the angels who failed to slay him as a cloak.
 * Genius Loci: His fortress is cut into the still living body of an immense being.
 * Genuine Human Hide: Worse. He wears a cloak made of the hides of a dozen angels, stitched together.
 * Grim Reaper: Shares the archetype with Charon. Apollyon has the Skull for A Head and Sinister Scythe aspects of the Reaper, Charon has the black robe and dominion over death.
 * Hellish Horse: Septisaeus, a diseased nightmare wearing a golden crown with a neck pierced by dozens of barbed arrows.
 * Horned Humanoid
 * Horsemen of the Apocalypse
 * Misanthrope Supreme: All daemons hold that mortality is a torment and that the entire universe has to be scoured of life, despite the fact that they themselves were once mortal.
 * Nietzsche Wannabe: Daemons know that everything eventually dies. They, and their cultists, tend towards this attitude, believing that if nothing truly matters they may as well end the world.
 * Nonhuman Humanoid Hybrid
 * Omnicidal Maniac: All daemons are nihilists, who seek to feed on the flood of souls at the end of creation. The Horsemen are the worst of the lot. Apollyon seeks to cause it through the spreading of diseases that slaughter planets and warp reality itself.
 * The Plague: Other gods like Ghlaunder and Urgathoa have a stake in disease as well, but only Apollyon symbolizes sickness on this scale.
 * Mystical Plague: How he creates them, going for maximum virulence. Some of his diseases even attack the fabric of reality itself.
 * Plaguemaster: Where other gods might represent various diseases, or forms of infection, Apollyon represents fullscale pandemics.
 * Poisonous Person: Is one and can transform his followers into them as well.
 * Public Domain Character: Apollyon was originally the Greek name of the Hebrew Abaddon, alternately the "king of tormenting locusts" and "angel of the bottomless pit" or the place of the dead. Pathfinder uses the Greek name for the Horseman and the Hebrew name for the plane he co-rules.
 * Sinister Scythe: Carries one as his Weapon of Choice.
 * Skull for A Head: A naked ram's skull to be precise.
 * Synthetic Plague: He's manufactured a lot, through alchemical, biological, and magical means.
 * Typhoid Mary: Has manufactured and manipulated more than a few of them.
 * Villain Team-Up: His cultists often ally with followers of Rovagug, Urgathoa and especially fellow Plaguemaster Ghlaunder, whose portfolio of parasites, infection, and stagnation nicely complements Apollyon's love of pandemics.
 * You Dirty Rat: Counts many wererats among his most fervent worshippers. He's also served by giant plague rats and other vermin.
 * Rodents of Unusual Size: Frequently makes use of them to deliver his plagues.
 * Swarm of Rats: Uses them as carriers of his infections.
 * Your Soul Is Mine: Daemons are all soul thieves, and the Horsemen are more powerful than most. They can also grant their worshippers the power to become Soul-Drinkers, who ape the daemons by feeding on innocent souls.

Areshkagal

Demon Lord of greed, magical and mundane portals, and riddles

Alignment: Chaotic Evil"


 * Blood Is Squicker in Water: Her current realm, The Blood Clefts, is a region of crimson, stony hills and gulches teeming with rivers of blood.
 * Go Mad From the Revelation: What happens to those who see her face, unless of course they just die from the sight instead.
 * Pyramid Power: Like her sister, uses pyramids as temples.
 * Riddling Sphinx: A particularly unfair and sadistic version. Different from other sphinxes in that she has dragon wings and a riddle-whispering viper for a tail.
 * Sibling Rivalry: With her sister, Aldinach. Which, logically, makes Lamashtu her mother.
 * The Exile: Her sister, Aldinach, kicked her out of her former realm, The Sea of Whispering Sands.
 * The Faceless: Appears as such. Although she does have one, but you don't want to see it. See Go Mad From the Revelation above.

Baalzebul
"The Lord of the Flies

Lord of the Seventh Hell, archdevil of arrogance, flies, and lies

Alignment: Lawful Evil"


 * Archdevil
 * Break the Haughty: Not that he's ever learned anything from it. Both envy and arrogance are part of his portfolio after all.

 * The Corrupter: Needs everyone to be as broken and hateful as he is.
 * Driven By Envy: Of Mephistopholes and anything beautiful.
 * Fallen Angel: Was once an angel with the title of the Lord of All That Flies.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: Towards all the Lords of Hell and Mephistopholes in particular. To a lesser degree he's like this towards those angels that retain their form, and creation in general.
 * Public Domain Character: His name is a corruption of "Beelzeboul", the Greek name of Beelzebub. Baal, an ancient Mesopotamian god turned demon by the Church may also be invoked by it.
 * Pyrrhic Victory: Baalzebul revels in empty victories, not least because they're the only kind he ever has.
 * Red Baron: The White Son, The Lord of the Flies
 * The Starscream: Towards Asmodeus; see "Well Done, Son" Guy for how complicated this is.
 * The Unfavourite: Regards himself as this, with Mephistopholes as The Favourite.
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy: Desperately wants Asmodeus' approval, as much or more than he wants his throne.
 * Winged Humanoid
 * The Worm That Walks: His body is composed of millions of flies.

Demon Lord of beasts, labyrinths, and minotaurs

 * I'm a Humanitarian: Both he and his followers are fond of devouring human flesh.

 * Unholy Matrimony: He is one of Lamashtu's favorite lovers and is held highly in her esteem. Try not to picture that, okay?

Barbatos
"The Bearded Lord

Lord of the First Hell, demigod of animals, corruption, and gateways

Alignment: Lawful Evil"


 * Archdevil: Averted. Barbados is not an archdevil; no one, save perhaps Asmodeus, has any idea what he is.
 * Beard of Evil: He's called the Bearded Lord for a reason.
 * The Corrupter
 * Evil Old Folks: Takes the form of an old, decrepit man.
 * In the Hood
 * Infernal Paradise: His personal fortress, The Promised Land, looks like a paradise from the distance. But a closer look reveals that it is a truly twisted realm.
 * Mordor: His layer of Hell, Avernus, is the surface layer; a vast volcanic desert of pitted iron and charred rock.
 * Ominous Floating Castle: His fortress, The Promised Land, hovers over the realm of Avernus, taunting everyone trapped in the Hell below.
 * Public Domain Character: He is based on an obscure demon from the Ars Goetia.

 * Red Baron: The Pale Kiss, The Thorned Caress, The Father of Whores
 * Two-Faced: When dealing with the other Lords of Hell he takes on a form that is devilish on one side and angelic on the other.

 * Winged Humanoid

Charon
"The Boatman

Horseman of Death

Alignment: Neutral Evil"


 * Archdaemon: One of the Four archdaemons who rule Abbadon in concert.
 * Asskicking Equals Authority
 * Beware the Quiet Ones: Charon is easily the quietest, subtlest, and least overtly antagonistic of the Four. He's also the most patient, underhanded, and dangerous.
 * Big Bad Duumvirate: With the other Four, though he's the closest to being first among equals, due to his status as the only one of the original Horsemen left. He rules the largest domain as well.
 * Black Cloak
 * The Chessmaster: Charon plays the longest game of Four, and is willing to wait eons for his plans to come to fruition.
 * Co-Dragons: Was once Co Dragons to the Oinodaemon alongside the rest of the original Four.
 * Cool Boat: His skiff, which can travel anywhere in the cosmos.
 * Deal With the Devil: The most likely of the Four to make a deal with a human and honour it (at least on the surface).
 * Dem Bones: Under his boatman's cloak Charon is nothing but a skeleton.
 * Evil Is Deathly Cold: From the waters of the Styx to his gaze to the daemon himself, everything about Charon is cold.
 * Evil Old Folks: The oldest and likely the most powerful of the Four, he's the only one of the original Horsemen left.
 * Evil Virtues: Patience. Unlike some of his more impetuous kin, Charon knows that he can afford to wait a long, long time.
 * Eyes of Gold: Sickly yellow actually.
 * The Faceless
 * The Ferry Man: His nickname is the Boatman for a reason--Charon typically appears as a ragged, cloaked figure on a skiff, fishing the River Styx for souls. His thanadaemons affect the same look.
 * Grim Reaper: Of evil souls. They all eventually come to the Styx. Appearance wise, he's got the Black Cloak and the personality, while Apollyon has the scythe and Skull for A Head.
 * Hellish Horse: Chloros, a mummified nightmare whose touch leeches life.
 * Horsemen of the Apocalypse
 * King Mook: Looks exactly like his thanadaemons, or them like him.
 * Klingon Promotion: While Charon did not slay his predecessor, he did participate in the chaining of the Oinodaemon, elevating himself to the position of one of the rulers of Abbadon instead of merely The Dragon.
 * Making a Splash: Water is one of his domains, and he makes his home in the Drowning Court beneath the River Styx.
 * Misanthrope Supreme
 * Nice Hat: Wears a broadbrimmed boatman's hat over his head.
 * Nietzsche Wannabe: In addition to being a daemon, Charon is fully aware that time will eventually destroy everything. Empires fall, stars burn out, universes collapse, nothing endures. Nothing save perhaps the Boatman himself.
 * Omnicidal Maniac: Charon is willing to wait a long time for his goals to be achieved, but like the other Horsemen, his objective is to usher in the End Times.
 * Overnight Age-Up: Can inflict this upon those who see him or his steed.
 * Pragmatic Villainy: Charon will do exactly what he has to in order to get results, no more, no less.
 * Public Domain Character: He's based on Charon, the Underworld boatman from Classical Mythology.
 * Everybody Hates Hades: Charon in the mythos was not even close to this evil.
 * Simple Staff: The quarterstaff (or more accurately a boater's pole) is his Weapon of Choice and he is rarely pictured without one.
 * Teleporters and Transporters: Charon and his ferrymen can take anybody anywhere on any of the planes.
 * Villain Teleportation: This is part of what makes him so frightening.
 * Stronger With Age: He's probably the most powerful Horseman and is so old that he predates the evolution of the humanoid form.
 * The Undead: Frequently aids in the creation of liches, vampires, and other undead, knowing that these creatures will spread horrific levels of death wherever they go--and that in the end, they themselves will most likely be slain and end up in Abaddon.
 * Vampiric Draining: One of his Hellish Horse's talents.
 * Villain Team-Up: He's the one who offered Urgathoa and Zyphus land in Abaddon, and his cultists frequently ally with Zyphus'. Charon and Zyphus themselves seem to be on relatively amicable terms as well, or as amicable as two Neutral Evil deities can be.
 * Weapons of Mass Destruction: The Dustbringer, an engine of war created by Charon with the help of two other (long dead Horsemen) and powered by the soul of a third. It is currently trapped in Caina (one of the levels of Hell) after a clash with Asmodeus himself.
 * Who Wants to Live Forever?: As the agent of Death by Old Age, Charon actively opposes those who would extend their lifespans via magic or any other means.
 * Xanatos Gambit: Charon is a master of these, frequently cutting deals that either end with mass deaths on a tremendous scale, or the supplicant's soul ending up in the Drowning Court. Either way, Charon wins.
 * Your Soul Is Mine

Cyth V'sug
"Prince of the Blasted Heath

Demon Lord of disease, fungus, and parasites

Alignment: Chaotic Evil"

 * Combat Tentacles
 * Demon Lord
 * Genius Loci: Lives at the centre of the Jeharlu, a massive, living parasitic fungus larger than entire worlds.
 * Green Thumb: Inverted. Cyth V'sug destroys entire forests, leaving areas bereft of life.
 * Man-Eating Plant: Cyth V'sug resembles a monstrous fungal dragon, sprouting with tentacles, and waiting to devour or infect anything that comes into range.
 * The Man Behind the Man: Might well be this to Treerazer, one of his spawn whom he recently exiled to the Material Plane. Some suspect that Treerazer's attack on Kyonin is part of Cyth V'sug's plan to establish a foothold on the Material Plane much like that held by Deskari in the Worldwound.
 * Plaguemaster
 * Planet Eater: Consumes the life of entire worlds and adds their remnants to his ever growing realm.
 * Poisonous Person
 * Puppeteer Parasite: Numbers them among his minions.
 * Vampiric Draining: His parasites can grant this power to his followers.

Dagon
"The Shadow in the Sea

Demon Lord of deformity, the sea, and sea monsters

Alignment: Chaotic Evil"


 * Anything That Moves: Dagon will sleep with everything and anything, though it's for the purposes of breeding, not enjoyment.
 * Combat Tentacles
 * Demon Lord
 * Eldritch Abomination: Dagon's a former Qlippoth Lord and it shows. Both his size and shape are near impossible to describe.

 * Evil Eye: His symbol is a single octopus eye.
 * Fish People: His followers can easily degenerate into this, becoming twisted deep ones.

 * Public Domain Character: Based on an ancient fertility god worshiped in the Near East, as well as the ruler of the deep ones in the Cthulhu Mythos.
 * The Rival: To Gozreh and Besmara for control over the oceans and the monsters within it. It's worth noting that many of the evil beasts of the deep choose to worship Dagon, likely because he's the option who matches their attitudes best.
 * Sea Monster: Dagon is not fully fish, octopus, or eel, but he is utterly horrific. He is also followed by many sea monsters, including devilfish, krakens, and other acquatic horrors.
 * Swamps Are Evil: Marsh giants are among Dagon's most fervent followers, and areas where his worship is prevalent seem to degenerate into this sort of territory very swiftly.

Deskari

Alignment: Chaotic Evil"

 * Misanthrope Supreme: The daemonic hatred of mortality--including their own--originates with this guy.
 * Monster Progenitor: He was the first soul to end up in Abaddon, and, infused with the plane's evil, became the original daemon. He later created the astradaemons to serve as his personal Elite Mooks. His descendants have continued this trend, producing the demons (by fusing sinful human souls with qlippoth) and the urdefans, a bizarre form of undead.

 * Not So Omniscient After All: He totally did not see his fall and imprisonment coming.
 * Physical God: Close enough.

 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * Sealed Evil in A Can: The Four sealed him within his spire in the centre of Abbadon, that they might forever feed on his power.

 * Klingon Promotion: Seeks to gain one by murdering Lamashtu.
 * Lean and Mean: In sharp contrast to the perpetually pregnant Lamashtu.
 * Parental Favouritism: Pazuzu has many offspring, demonic, half-fiend, and tiefling, yet the Demon Lord Deskari remains both the most powerful, and his father's favourite.

 * Blood Knight: A truly twisted one, whose wars tend to end in genocide.

 * Klingon Promotion: Slew her predecessor in a duel for the title of Horseman of War.
 * Lethal Lava Land: Her domain alternates between this and desert.
 * Misanthrope Supreme: Szuriel had aspects of this in life, given her obsession with killing every member of her old faith and running her country into the ground. She's now a classic one as a daemon, seeking the extermination of all life, including her own.

His own body is covered in numerous carcinogenic growths, and is made of a slurry of bile, blood, and mucous that is barely contained by his transparent skin.

 * Horsemen of the Apocalypse
 * I'm a Humanitarian: Encourages cannibalism because after all, there's No Party Like a Donner Party when you're the Horseman of Famine.
