[QUOTE="MonsterEnvy, post: 7423485, member: 6706188"] Thats similar to his pre 4e Lore. In 2e and 3e. He was an Archon who who fell to the Hells due to his narcissism and perfectionism. His power, intelligence and ambition impressed Asmodeus who appointed him ruler of 7th Layer. Baalzebul eventually gained enough influence to take control of the 6th Layer as well controlling it through his Vassal Moloch. However he lost control after Moloch's exile. And being turned into his slug like form. Baalzebul enjoys architectural design, but his perfectionism grew worse after coming to Hell. He would have his minions raise palaces, fortresses, cities and neumerous other things. However his perfectionism resulted in him abandoning a project as soon as flaws showed up in the work. As a result Maladomini is covered in ruins and half finished works that Baalzebul abandoned. One example of this was when he was creating his perfect city so far the only one that had met his standards. However when he went to the Throne Room he found a slight imperfection and so ordered that his court and citizens leave and abandon the place. His normally submissive consort Baftis refused on the grounds that it was good enough and would rather live here then in filth, while waiting for another project not to meet his standards. Baalzebul then cursed and sealed Baftis in the city as punishment for questioning him, and she is currently the only inhabitant of that ghost town. [/QUOTE]
