Belphegor - Sloth
In demonology, Belphegor, one of the seven princes of Hell, is a demon who aids in scientific discovery. He tempts them by telling them about brilliant innovations that will make them wealthy. He is the principal demon of sloth, a deadly sin according to various Christian traditions.
Belphegor originally belonged to the Principalities' Choir. Although Belphegor did not particularly appreciate his heavenly responsibilities and preferred to lounge around in the comfort of heaven, anticipating his slothful inclinations, he was friends with Asmodel and Mammon during his time in paradise. Belphegor also claimed that his outside pastime involved creating odd and complicated sculptures out of whatever materials he could find.
Belphegor did not immediately join Lucifer's side after he started a war against Heaven, nor was he fighting against the rebellion at God's side either, unlike the majority of rebel angels. Even though he wasn't a part of Lucifer's rebellion, his refusal to stand by God's side and his inaction earned him his Father's wrath, and he was banished to Hell with the other rebellious angels, becoming the Archdemon of Sloth.
The sound of Lucifer's voice calling out to them from the newly formed chasm that was caused by the force of their fall soon awoke Belphegor, Asmodeus, and Mammon. The name "Hell" would later be given to this new place.
Mortals who want fame and fortune through invention frequently make as little effort as feasible by calling upon Belphegor. Because Belphegor's actual goal is to entice the slothful into the sin of sloth, these requests, like nearly all demonic invocations, are destined to be unsuccessful. Belphegor damns them by drawing them into procrastination and idle fantasizing instead of producing through the failure of whatever Belphegor offered to the invoker.
He can change his shape, and he enjoys fooling mortals with this power. His most frequent appearances have polarizing characteristics. In order to lure individuals who are susceptible to his deception, he will assume the appearance of a stunning woman who is completely exposed. A monster demon with leathery flesh, enormous horns, long, sharp fangs and fingernails, and a gaping mouth, he also has this appearance.
