Armaros

Armaros, called The Resolver of Enchantments, was an exiled archdevil living in Avernus in the Nine Hells.

Description
Armaros resembled a grey-skinned human male with a beard, bat-like wings, and horns. He was approximately tall and had a. His eyes were luminescent and blue-green. Armaros typically wore a leather tunic and belt, with many pouches to hold spell ingredients and scholarly materials.

Personality
Armaros was not unhappy with his exile, as he cared only for his magical studies. He was known to appear without warning and use random creatures as tests for spells he was working on. Like other archdevils, he had no care for others and would carry out his experiments with calm detachment and even amusement.

Armaros sought only to further his magical studies; of the other denizens of Baator, he respected and obeyed only Asmodeus.

Abilities
Armaros was a master at spellcasting and spell-crafting; he had also made many magical items for the devils. Among other abilities, he was one of the few capable of casting prismatic sphere. As a master crafter, he knew the abilities of any and all diabolical magical items.

Activities
Armaros spent his time roaming Avernus: as a favorite of Asmodeus, he was free to do what he liked as long as he did not approach Tiamat, her generals, consorts, or armies; as well as those of visiting archdevils. He typically spent all his time in pursuit of his private obsession with magic, and would readily trade with creatures for more spells and magical knowledge.

History
Armaros was an exile for two reasons. The first was that he was a master dweomercrafter and had made many of the Nine Hells' magical treasures. The second was that if he had a more powerful position—such as that of an archduke, as his personal power deserved—he would be capable of challenging Asmodeus. Additionally, Armaros had long-standing feuds with both Adramalech and Phongor that prevented him from serving in Asmodeus' court directly. So instead Armaros was exiled to Avernus, by Asmodeus' decree. The decree also stated that if any other archdevil were found to have communicated with him, that archdevil and his servants (even his entire court, in the case of an archduke) would be destroyed.
