Asmodeus is THE evil god AND an arch-devil in Dungeons & Dragons. He is the absolute ruler of the Nine Hells, stationed squarely in its infernal core of Nessus. His daughter Glasya is one of the commanders in charge of a "lower" level.

Fluff

Asmodeus was introduced in AD&D 1st edition. In the Monster Manual, no less! His domain was detailed in Dragon magazine. It's mostly stayed the same since.

Asmodeus was part of the Creation War. After defeating the Primordials, the evil gods set out to kill each other over who would take over the Universe while the good and neutral ones tried to stop them. Asmodeus was able to get a large number of angels to side with him and led a rebellion against the heavens. He was struck down and landed on Baator, which originally had seven Hells but he made two more just for s and g. There he set up his kingdom of hate. Yeah, he's kind of a dick.

Asmodus takes on the form of a boring, run-of-the-mill Halloween devil. Oh, except for being 13 feet tall. Of course, his real form is a giant snake that, if he were to assume the form, would be large enough that he could wrap himself around Baator and bite his own tail. Yeah, he's Vikings Jormungandr. He has impossibly high charisma and can only really be damaged with Holy items. His Ruby Rod has a lot of at-will spells that he can use, and he can alter lesser beings. Typically, he's a patient schemer who can wait epochs for his plans to resolve, but during the rare times he doesn't use stars forming and dying to time himself, he uses guile rather than force... usually.

Followers

Yeah, anyone lawful evil basically. There are a few who worship other beings, but most of them go to this guy. He's very convincing. They're all gonna go to Hell. And while he might promise you something nice once you get there, he's lying.
