Mephisto
A chief demon of German literary tradition referenced across film, literature, and gaming.
Mephisto, also known as Dul'Mephistos, is the Lord of Hatred and one of the three Prime Evils. He was born from one of the seven heads of the great dragon Tathamet, and his realm in the Burning Hells was the Realm of Hatred. Mephisto preferred to operate from the shadows rather than lead an army in the open, and he acted as the mentor of Belial. He also created Lilith, a demon he considered almost equal to himself, by folding his malice and base cunning into a new shape.
