Learned a bit more. An image of him is in the adventure, showing him bound. So I am guessing that after Zariel defeated him, she imprisoned him instead of killing him to prevent him from just respawning in the Abyss.

The fact that at least two heavy hitters - Tiamat and Bel - have stat blocks that aren't mentioned in the Contents section of the book makes me wonder if there are any other stat blocks we'll be getting that we don't know about yet, such as for Kostchtctchie or perhaps some more of the Archdevils.

Appearntly we do get Kostchtctchie's stats.
I don't know why they are not in the back however. (No room to do a write up for them as well?)

That we do, but I feel like this is a potential spoiler
Possibly so DMs wouldn't need to keep flipping back and forth between that section of the adventure and the bestiary at the back. It's good that Wizards is trying something different, and making the lives of DMs running the adventure easier.

In the section of the adventure not yet within Perdition, we get the full statblocks of some named NPCs spread out across the different pages.
In the section of the adventure within Avernus itself, we get the full statblocks of the aforementioned, plus we get Siberiex, named NPCs like a rakhasha entrepeneur named Mahadi who parades around in the Wandering Emporium (where you can get actual food, do you need to pay for that food with your soul?), an eldarin called Smiler the Defiler (that's a freaking excellent name), plus things like the abyssal chicken (tastes like burning chicken all the way down I presume), the abyssal wretch, something called the bone whelk (large slug monstrosities that carry a cage of bones on their backs). It's all definitely extremely metal \m/

Funny thing is, they have the stats for damage for one handed and 2 handed, but as you can see of the new art for Zariel, she only has 1 hand.

Kostchtchie can use it with both hands. Zariel is not as lucky.Funny thing is, they have the stats for damage for one handed and 2 handed, but as you can see of the new art for Zariel, she only has 1 hand.
Well he wasn't killed in the Abyss, so he wasn't out right destroyed.
