	Hierarchy of demons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This was presumably due to the division of angels in hierarchies or choirs taken from Judaism (see angelology), and as demons were angels before, their organisation had to be similar.
		Other hierarchies mention physicians, superintendents, demons in charge of keeping the fire of Hell lit, etc. The rest of the demons were divided in legions.
		In Christian demonology, Hell is treated as a medieval or Renaissance earthly kingdom, and this shows the imagination of those authors that assigned titles of nobility to some demons that even had attendants, dividing the rest into legions.

	Satan and His Court
		According to the Dead Sea Scrolls, Belial was the original leader of the forces of evil until the New Testament firmly established Satan as the leader of the dark side.
		Hell's Physician, responsible for the good health of all the demons living there.
		He was master of ceremonies in Hell, and also was responsible to ensure the witches from Earth got to the sabbats safely and on time.

		On the bottom level of the hierarchy are sound samples, pre-recorded using a drum machine and live musicians: Tyrone Henderson (voice), Anne LaBerge (flute), and Didkovsky himself (electric guitar).
		Hell Collection is a sort of "master scheduler," to which the children repeat back with the timings of their sonic events.
		It's as if Hell Collection were the leader of a jazz band, waiting for all of his or her musicians to finish their respective phrases, and then making a decision about whether to repeat a chorus (which could, of course, contain huge differences the next time around), or whether to stop.

	CliffsNotes::Paradise Lost:Book Summary and Study Guide
		In a sense, Hell is an ironic parody of Heaven.
		Hell is the opposite, pure evil and pure darkness, in fact a darkness so pure that it is visible, a contrasting quality to the blinding light of Heaven.
		The purpose behind the cataloging of demons in Hell and the hierarchy of angels in Heaven is not made clear by Milton, but the two groups are obviously comparable and intended to be so.

	Devil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
		Allah gave them a strong warning about Satan and the fires of Hell and asked them and their children (humankind) to stay away from the deceptions of their senses caused by the Devil.
		One hypothesis is that this might have been an attempt to establish a hellish trinity with the same person, akin to the Christian Trinity of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, but most demonologists do not carry this view.

		The word devil is derived from the Greek word diabolos ("to slander"), and the term devil can refer to a lesser demon in the hierarchy of Hell.
		Early Christian tradition interpreted the word and the entire paragraph referring to Satan, his fell of grace, and the moment he was thrown from Heaven, identifying this name with him, and Lucifer became another name for Satan; due to the Christian dogma and popular tradition, so it will remain.
		It could also be supposed that this might have been an attempt to establish a hellish trinity with the same person, as the Christian Trinity has three persons in one with Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

		In later Jewish mythology, Satan tries to rebel against God but the rebellion fails and God sends him to exile into hell, a concept that didn't exist in Judaism originally and which later developed from Christian influence.

		Satan serves as the middleman leader in the discourse on the militant battalion of Hell’s strategy to exit the fiery lake, which is similar to a dark and evil rendition of the New Testament’s Gospel.
		An additional example of paralleled political and religious hierarchy is the application of the militant representation to Satan’s legion of archangels.
		His grotesque and retaliative nature inspires the epic’s hierarchy to spiral downward outside of the purgatory of Satan’s character, which both appeals to the audience’s sympathy to a heinous narrator.

		In Christianity, a demon is not just a malicious spirit, but a spirit of hell sent to Earth by the Devil to enforce his authority or to carry out his purposes.
		Contrary to popular opinion, the Bible reveals that Satan and some of his demons were not confined to hell after their initial expulsion from heaven.
		He went and preached tothe spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

		Its identity is conferred by what it is between: it is between the gate of hell and the river Acheron, which the pilgrim will cross at canto's end.[34] To reach that crossing, that point of commitment, that Rubicon at which transition is ratified, the pilgrim must transit the place of transitions in canto 3.
		She divides critics into champions of theology and defenders of poetry, a dichotomy further reflected in the poet vs. pilgrim formulation, according to which the stem moralizing poet (ironically, this "poet" is not susceptible to the charms of poetry) damns the woman for whom the pilgrim feels sympathy.
		This ranking of the circle's suffering, for all that it borders on the comic, is a way of definitively enrolling it in the hierarchy of hell: we may be at the beginning, but we have arrived.

	Nicholas A. Smith's Thesis
		The devils who have fallen and who have just reason to complain are, for the moment, atop the hierarchy because they are free to stand before the crowd and to give their ideas for how the group should proceed.
		Belial's position is noble, to be sure, but the devil's have just been cast into Hell, and anyone who tells this assembly of devils to peacefully accept their new home should not expect to find a receptive audience.
		Hell, no matter how the devils act in it or what they try to accomplish within it, is still a prison, and the devils will never truly escape the influence of an omnipotent God.

		(Hell, just last week my team of Angels mixed it up with another team of Angels before they realized their mistake and de-fused the situation.) It is impossible for Demons to mount any sustained infiltration of Angelic ranks on Earth because of Seraphs.

	Station Information - Demonic hierarchy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		At various points in history, different groups of Christians have constructed various systems of classification, or hierarchies of demons.
		Perhaps the single most influential of these classifications is that put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in the Fourth or Fifth century in his book The Celestial Hierarchy.
		From these, he constructed a schema of three hierarchies of angels and demons, with each hierarchy containing three orders, thus (in descending level of power):

		For those of you who are unaware, Legions of Hell is d20 system book from Green Ronin Publishing detailing several denizens of the nine circles of Hell.
		The hierarchy of Hell is given some detail, just enough to set a fiendish DM's mind in motion.
		Finishing Appendix 3 is "an incomplete summary of many of the important fallen celestials resident in the Nine Circles of Hell." In short, these two pages give lists of two "hosts" of fallen celestials; the Stewards of the Promogenial Rebellion (which includes such perennial favorites as Beezelbub, Belial and Moloch) and the Samyasan Host.

		Some additional material is included, in the form of a brief outline of hell, prestige classes for followers of various servants of devils, and some material on celestials (with a primary focus on those celestials who have fallen away from the service of good and now participate in the hierarchy of hell).
		The book starts off with a brief introductory section that outlines the 9 layers or circles of Hell, the ruler of each layer, the nature of infernal politics, the role of devils in the prime, a recap of the common baatezu abilities, and some thoughts on adapting the devils for your own use.
		Note that none of the rulers of the nine circles of Hell receives stats in the book; in interviews elsewhere, Chris Pramas has said that such powerful creatures are best reserved until such a time as WotC comes out with their epic-level campaigns book.
