Who's your favorite duke of hell? Since there are only 9 archdukes we'll include all the nobles/dukes of hell as well.

My vote is for Dis. Great all around bad guy and his city's cool.

Any others?

For some weird reason, Asmodeus, followed closely by Baalzebul. Probably because of Asmodeus' picture in the first Edition Monster Manual. He looks just like you'd expect Satan to look! :D

Baalzebul because the Fly imagery is nauseating to most people and just too good to pass up.

The Dark Lord of Avernus.

The Lord of Lies.

The Lord of the Nine.

The Adversary.

ASMODEUS, THE KING OF HELL!

He rules Hell through wit and might, staving off the inept acts of treason committed by his lackies. He fools gods and mortals alike. He commands the Devils that plague the Cosmos. He is all that's Lawful Evil.

ASMODEUS, THE KING OF HELL!.

MMUUUHHEEEHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Come now! Laugh with me! LAUGH WITH ME!!!!

BWWWUUUUHHUUHHHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHHHH!
 


Gotta go with Asmodeus on this one.

He's just too cool. He's the tempter of mankind, the ultimate schemer. And he keeps Tiamat on a leash.

What kind of leash would that be? Would it be one leash with multiple chains coming off the main or would you go with five separate leashes one to each neck?
 

Nah....

Has to be Mephistopheles.

Why?

It's hard enough to pronounce in the first place. Give all demons their own background music. Then play the soundtrack to "Cats" right before your PC demonologist gets ready to summon him. Faced with the tune "Magical Mister Mistopheles" and the natural difficulty of pronouncing Mephistopheles' name in the first place, watch the demonologist botch the Archduke's name as he summons him.

Watch Archduke laugh at summoner - now powerless to control him because he is not using the right name - then destroy him.

Yummm.... If that's not sick and twisted, I don't know what is. :)

Besides, demons with their own background music are cool.

Of the Arch Devils I'd go with Beelzebub, as presented prior to the planescape/blood war/2e nonsense. The picture of him in the 1e MM was cool. The Lord of the Flies!

For Dukes it's either Bael or Titivilus.

*no books in front of me so I can't say if the spellings are right.
