Beelzebub, formerly known as either Triel, or Yophiel, is a former Seraph turned high-ranking demon, who is considered one of the Seven Princes of Hell and oversees the Order of the Fly. He, alongside Satan and Lucifer, forms the triumvirate of Hell and is one of the supreme monarchs of the Inferno.
Overview[]
Beelzebub was an angel, more specifically a Seraphim, who was once under the Archangel Gabriel and revered as a Philistine deity named Baal Zebul. Either way, Beelzebub fell and joined with Lucifer to become a high-ranking demon in Hell. In Catholic demonology, he is sometimes considered to be one of the first three angels to fall from heaven, along with Lucifer and Leviathan.
Beelzebub is also often confused with Satan and the two names can be interchanged. However, strictly speaking, they are two separate entities and in some tales, Beelzebub led a revolt against Satan (though this is most likely not true) and became the founder of the Order of the Fly. Beelzebub is the Chief-Lieutenant of Lucifer and is one of the most loyal to the Morning Star. Beelzebub is commonly described as ranking high in the hierarchy of Hell. He was of the order of Cherubim or Seraphim.
Beelzebub is seen as being associated with Pride or Gluttony, depending on the scholar, and is also the prince of false gods. Flies play a large focus in imagery detailing him and the malignant spirit can even take the form of flies according to some.
Appearance[]
Beelzebub most often appears as a massive fly of unknown species with human-like skulls tattooed on his wings and a crown on top of his head. But being a demon, he has the ability to choose a different form. In his human form, he is covered in black aura and is surrounded by flies.

History[]
Fall from Grace[]
Beelzebub came into being shortly before the creation of Heaven and the Earth and is one of the oldest angels. Beelzebub was said to be of Lucifer's order, meaning that he was part of the Morningstar's choir or circle. He was among the angels that Lucifer would converse with amicably outside of his relationship with his siblings, alongside Samael. Beelzebub's ability to keep up with Lucifer impressed the latter with his character and placed great trust in him.
At some point before the war in Heaven, Beelzebub found and consorted with Naamah, a sister of Eve who was created to be one of the potential candidates as Adam's wife after Lilith's departure, by the Red Sea. Naamah and Beelzebub's sexual encounter resulted in the birth of Abezethibou. Abezethibou grew rapidly and joined the side of his father but Naamah was banished from the realm of the divine as a result.
Eventually, when the civil war in Heaven was brewing, Lucifer chose Beelzebub as his second-in-command for the rebel army of angels. Lucifer led the attack on the front line while Beelzebub led the support fire a step away from the front, providing the front with enough openings to attack. When Lucifer was confronted by Gabriel, Beelzebub clotheslined the archangel before he could attack the Morning Star with the two engaging in fierce combat as Lucifer made his way to the Empyrean. In the end, however, Beelzebub was defeated by the archangel.
Ruler of Hell[]
Beelzebub was among the 1/3 of the rebel angels cast out of Heaven for their transgressions, falling at "nine times the space that measures day and night" before finally hitting the Abyss. Their collision against the Abyss created a chain reaction that terraformed the empty space into the fiery terrain now known as Hell. Beelzebub was the second to awaken after Samael and, seeing the strength they still retained to awaken from their supposed eternal imprisoned rest, they were crowned as co-supreme monarchs next to Lucifer himself.
he conquered Hell alongside the original Princes of Hell and made it his domain. Since conquering Hell, he not only rules over the fallen angels, but also the demons that were native to the Abyss. He observed the commissioning of a grand and glorious palace known as Pandemonium to be built within the center of Hell, becoming its capital and Beelzebub becoming part of the ruling body of all Hell in the form of the Satanic Triumvirate. At some point he also founded the Order of the Fly which became his own personal court involving numerous elite and royal demons. The Order was also established as a way for Beelzebub to expertly deduce who he should place his trust in important matters and who he finds incompetent.
Adviser to the Devil[]
Beelzebub became something of an adviser to Lucifer and Satan despite being a co-supreme monarch of the Inferno, giving out his opinions and suggestions which are almost always acknowledged by the two fallen angels amidst the chaotic ramblings of the other fallen angels within the Stygian Council. In fact, Beelzebub was the one to suggest to Lucifer that he would make the first strike to God by targeting His favored creations: mankind. He and his two fellow rulers embody perverted reason, since they are eloquent and rational but use their talents for wholly corrupt ends.
