A mysterious Prince of Hell. She first appeared in Personal Demons.
Biography[]
Lilith was a mysterious Prince of Hell. It is unclear if she was a demon, she hid her crown, and she was neither a fallen angel nor a deposed ancient god.[1] Even her name was only spoken with care, and she was often referred to simply as she or her. She was probably active at the same time as Blood Orca, making her at least a hundred thousand years old.[2][3]
She had associations with Lorelei while Lorelei still served Hell, and while not close they had some sense of mutual trust and understanding.[4][5] After the Battle of the Casino she was sought out by Lorelei and they entered into a temporary alliance. She helped Lorelei reach and claim Baal’s former domain, setting off the Battle of Perdition.[4] After Lorelei had returned to the mortal plane she entered Azazel’s former domain and confronted Belial. Belial’s fate is unknown, but Lorelei gained a great amount of power and set out to integrate Azazel’s, Baal’s, and Belial’s former realms into her own.[5][6]
Following the battle of the arena she sent Alex back to the mortal plane and approached Blood Orca, probably with an offer to work together in some way.[7][3]
Lilith appeared as a normal if beautiful woman, and dressed and spoke in a modern manner. Despite this she gave of a palpable sense of dread to persons who saw her.[4][5]
Relationships[]
While a Prince of Hell and a part of their councils, Lilith kept herself apart from the other Princes. This included both her origin and her approach to conflicts.[1] Her recent rise in power after the Battle of Perdition has further distanced her from the other Princes.[6]
She liked Lorelei and was willing to help her and her friends, but only so far that it fit with Lilith’s own plans and schemes.[5][7] She had also developed an interest in and respect for Alex and Lorelei.[8]
Abilities[]
Lorelei had a similar ability to angels of reading a person’s past, feelings, and knowledge.[4] It seems that she could walk unseen and pass physical obstructions like angels. Wards that stopped angels or jinn were no hindrance to her, and she could rip a person’s soul from their body.[5]
She appeared to have greater freedom to leave Hell for the mortal plane than most other demon lords, and she knew about and controlled several portals and gates between the two planes.[4]
