Zariel

Zariel is an archdevil of the Nine Hells, Lord of Avernus.

Background
Once favored by Asmodeus, Zariel sided against him in the Reckoning of Hell. She was overthrown when Bel, the leader of her military forces, turned against her and sided with Asmodeus. Bel was installed as Lord of the First in her stead.

Zariel reclaimed her title as Lord of Avernus following Bel's demotion by Asmodeus. Bel fell out of favor with the Archduke, and was forced to serve as Zariel's advisor.

Later material adds to her story, revealing she was previously an Angel on Celestia, tasked with tracking the Blood War. Frustrated by her superiors refusal to engage in the war, Zariel led a host of mortal allies into Avernus.

Personality
Zariel lives to fight and judges people on their combat skills and willingness to use those skills. She prizes zeal as much as training, and has left many a structure in ruin.

She has spurned the political machinations of the other Lords.
