Seven Archdemons

The Seven Archdemons are powerful Princes of Hel that command all other demons below them. Though their ultimate goal is to spread across many dimensions and consume the souls of all life, the Seven often clash amongst themselves for the ultimate throne of power. Each Prince rules one of the Seven Layers of Hel, with the more powerful ones closer to the deepest layer. The demons are currently ranked from weakest to strongest: Sloth, Lust, Wrath, Gluttony, Envy, Pride, and Greed.

The Seven Archdemons are all classified as having a mostly humanoid appearance and six horns. Each carries an Artifact of Desire, which functions as a heart and weapon for their respective Prince. All Princes are emblazoned with the pentagram somewhere on their body.

The Seven Archdemons command inferior Princes, though most are only loyal to their respective Archdemon.

Greed was originally on the fifth layer, behind Pride on the sixth and Envy on the seventh. Greed made a deal with Pride to overthrow Envy. Greed dressed Pride in gold and jewels, flaunting it before Envy. Envy was considered the strongest and also desired to be dressed richly to surpass that of Pride. Envy went to the fifth layer and was drenched in molten gold, which hardened and trapped Envy inside of the statue. The statue was then chained using metal forged from desire and hatred, which Envy could not break as long as it was influenced by either of them. Greed took over the seventh layer, paying Pride by constructing brilliant golden statues and a gold coliseum in its honor. Envy, powered by its own influence, grows terrifyingly strong and equally more imprisoned.
