Beherit

Beherit was an archdevil, the original Lord of Malbolge, the sixth layer of the Nine Hells.

History
Almost nothing about Beherit was remembered, except that he was loyally served by his marshal, the successful general Kochbiel, and that he and his consort Batna were destroyed by Asmodeus for breaking restrictions concerning the advancement of devils. Specifically, they begat a child together, Lucifuge, whom Asmodeus soon devoured before slaying his two parents. His realm of Malbolge was then given to Baalzebul, his greatest foe. It was also said that he had been close allies with, or even the closest friend of, the archdevil Gargauth, and that his death was the reason for Gargauth's departure from Baator.
