Demons (A Most Sensational Trial)

Demons, also known as the Original Devils, are the first generation of devils created by Lucifer himself after the creation of Lilith, the first Devil. They were originally the generals of Lucifer's demonic armies, but after Lucifer's banishment into the Underworld, the greatest of these demons, Apollyon, revolted against Lucifer and refused to release the fallen archangel from his prison at the deepest part of Hell, and thus took rule of Hell as their own.

The demons are the progenitors of the 72 Pillars, the most powerful noble families of the Underworld, as well as the Extra Houses, those powerful houses that aren't counted as part of the 72 Pillars.

The demons are sometimes referred to by their ancient epithets, the Princes of Hell.
