[QUOTE="The Serge, post: 371727, member: 4049"] Yes. In a nutshell, the original Lords of the Nine (of which Dispater, Levistus/Leviathan, Lilith, and Mephistopheles remain) were the few surviving Baatorians, formed when who or whatever Asmodeus truly is plummeted into Hell. They are the closest to true divinity of the true Devils. These original Baatorians warred among each other during the eons it took "Asmodeus" to regain his senses. When he did (with a fresh plot in his head), he destroyed most of them, and allowed eight to become the Lords of the Nine. Although he destroyed them perhaps it's best to say that he "disjoined" them. Being divine, it's virtually impossible to kill these Infernals. They returned to Hell, only to manifest in the form of nupperibos. Eventually, the thousands of nupperibos that can form one of the Baatorians find each other and reconstitute. Most are stopped from completing this metamorphosis by the Lords, while others used to become Amnizus (with the now dramatic reduction in status of Amnizus, I'll have to rework this). Still, a few have reformed, and they hide within the depths of Malbolge or are trapped in the ice of Cania. Asmodeus is aware of their return, but for some reason leaves them be. These beings are essentially either high powered Dukes of Hell or Arch-Devils. They would not be classified as Baatezu, but would share the traits of Baatezu. Most are Infernals. When the Fall of The Hosts occurs, and the likes of Zariel, Mammon, Belial, and Baalzebul join the ranks of Hell, they soon overthrow some of the original Lords, completely obliterating them. Lilith, however, managed to convince Baalzebul of her value and survived as the consort of Baalzebul's viceroy, the fallen Planetar, Moloch. She fed him with lies and manipulated him into joining in the Reckoning, which led to his eventual downfall and her return to power in Maladomini. There's a lot more to all of this, but I haven't written it yet. Thanks for asking! [/QUOTE]
