Bael (Midnightverse)

"That's a pretty deep hole you dug yourself in their kid"

- Bael to Issei after he asks them about how to break deals

Bael is a Prince of Hell and the Sin of Wrath. He is the oldest of the Princes and the second demon in existence, being created shortly after Lilith. Like the most of his siblings, Bael went into retirement after the Holy War disillusioned by the carnage and loss of life becoming withdrawn and jaded from the world. Near the end of the Holy War, he met Metatron and he stopped fighting for Hell. After the war, the two vanished with Metatron's absence being a crippling blow for Heaven as Zadkiel took her spot as Head of the Ten Seraphim.

History
TBA

Appearance
Despite his childish appearance, Bael is immensely old being millions of years old. He is shorter than the other Princes with messy blond hair and emerald green eyes. In spite of his childlike appearance, Bael has a muscular stature. When using his power, Bael becomes surrounded by darkness and his eyes become sulfuric yellow. Black markings appear on his forehead.

In his partial transformation, Bael gains a cloak of darkness and markings appear. His eyes change from yellow to blackish purple.

In his true form, Bael is a gargantuan demonic humanoid entity. He has massive curved horns and is extremely muscular. He has massive draconic wings.

Personality
Bael is seen as nonchalant and extremely laid back in comparison to the other Princes that Issei has met up to that point. He points out that Bael is completely different from Mammon, Dagon, Ramiel, and Beelzebub with the former three being serious and the latter being psychotic. His calm and upbeat demeanor makes him more terrifying than the other Princes, according to Issei.

However, despite this, Bael was once known as a demon who was so vile that he rivaled Lilith herself. He was ruthless during the Holy War, having slaughtered angels and gods without a second thought to the point where entire armies vacated the worlds they occupied due to Bael's very presence. Any battle that he enters ends with him sitting atop a mountain of mutilated corpses and drenched in blood. Bael was responsible for the death of Bathala's brother and sister.

Powers and Abilities
As a Prince of Hell, Bael is one of the most powerful demons in the whole of existence. He has the capacity to rival Lilith in sheer power and he is renowned as the strongest Prince in Creation. Issei comments that Bael is suppressing an immense level of power and passing himself off as an Ultimate Class Being.

 * Immense Demonic Power: As a Prince of Hell, Bael possesses vast and terrible reserves of raw power, with Miasma that is said to be thicker and more foul than anything that has ever been felt other than Lilith's. It is said to be even darker than that of Beelzebub and while Beelzebub's feels like an all-consuming force, Bael's feels like a storm that is barely being kept in check and upon release could swallow the entirety of everything in a maelstrom of power.
