Abezithibod and Heinrik
There are many great and powerful demons that reside in Inferno. Some are well known while others have their own story yet to be seen by Man. Abezithibod and Heinrik Rofocale are two noteworthy demons who have an extensive history with Earth. While the two are disparate, they have both left their mark on the realm of humans. Both deserve to be commended for their actions and deeds, regardless of the antics they got up to when they were young.
Abezithibod
Heaven to Inferno
Abezithibod (sometimes preferring the pseudonym of “Abe”) is the son of the demon Beelzebub. In the time before the angel rebellions, Beelzebub was an archangel in Heaven. For reasons that were his own, he would eventually leave Heaven for Inferno where he would become the demon Beelzebub. His son, Ameleouth, would wake up one day to find his father was missing. Shocked by this, the young angel would run out looking for his father.
Despite the other archangels warning him not to seek his father, Ameleouth ignored their warnings and kept running. Before he realized it, the angel had left Heaven and found himself in Inferno. Naturally he was lost and confused when his father found him. Beelzebub was sad and disappointed, questioning why his son would do something so brazen. It was simple as Ameleouth did not want to be separated from his father. Despite Beelzebub's anger caused by Heaven, he had a moment of happiness knowing that his son still loved him and would be there for him no matter what.
Ameleouth (now going by Abezithibod) took some time to adjust to Inferno as it was a lot different from Heaven. Something of interest was the fact that the two could easily interact with humans. Beelzebub was busy making all sorts of nefarious deals with Humans, of which the latter left an impression on Abezithibod. Humans were such a fascinating thing to him. Why even bother going to a lesser realm when Heaven and Inferno were so much better?
Even stranger, there seemed to be a lot of Earth Spirits that did not originate from Heaven running around. They were tricking a fair amount of humans into thinking they were mighty entities when in reality they were beneath even the lowest imp in Inferno. Abezithibod would later learn that these low evolved spirits were subject to the demon king's Asmodeus and Corniger. This provoked Abezithibod’s curiosity even further. Were humans that unintelligent to the point where they were so easily tricked by these malignant spirits?
Meeting Raguel
Eventually the rowdy demon decided he would pay Earth a visit. Abezithibod promptly got into trouble interfering with quests, tricking heroes into going down the wrong paths, and harassing all sorts of rulers. Given that this took place not too long after The Rampage Wars, A handful of the denizens of Inferno were growing concerned about Abezithibod and his ilk. All of this would attract the attention of an up and coming angel named Raguel. This angel was working on becoming an archangel and one of his tasks was to either stop or subdue Abezithibod.
Confronting the demon was not easy, as Abezithibod was not the diplomatic type and clashed with Raguel many times over the years. Things would eventually change when Abezithibod came to respect Raguel's persistence and dedication, however. Abezithibod got to a point where he felt comfortable telling Raguel his original name and gave him permission to use it (the only other people being his father and Adonai, at the time). Raguel further got to a point where he could sit down and talk with Abezithibod. He would use this opportunity to propose a more useful application of the demon's talents.
Getting involved in Egypt
Egypt was in turmoil as Set, Sobek, and Sekhmet were running amok and causing havoc. They were whispering the wrong words into the ears of the Pharaohs, causing all sorts of chaos. Wars internal and external raged everywhere. It is believed Set formulated these plans as a means of spitting Osiris. Horus and Anubis had been trying for ages to stop this to little success. After failing to recruit Ra to help them, Horus contacted the Archangel Michael and asked for assistance.
At first, Michael went to the Spiritus Magni, who were too busy to get involved. He then went to Raguel, since the angel was making a name for himself. Michael figured this would be a good test of his mettle. Raguel’s idea was to beat Set at his own game by having Abezithibod whisper in the ear of specific pharaohs. Ramses II was the main target, as getting the Hebrews to rebel and leave Egypt would create a big enough distraction for Horus and Anubis to confront Set and his cohorts.
Raguel’s plan was a success. Abezithibod knew what to say to prompt Ramses II into making the wrong decisions. He could have just told Ramses to treat the Hebrews better, but that would have potentially aroused suspicion with Set. Abezithibod would further trick the Pharaoh into chasing Moses and the Hebrews across the red sea. One thing Abezithibod would not mention to Ramses II was that Adonai was not going to keep the red sea parted forever. Abezithibod needed to maintain the ruse after all.
To make sure Set did not pull anything funny, Abezithibod would keep Ramses II and his soldiers sealed away at the bottom of the red sea, partially as a favor for Raguel. Abezithibod was well aware of the naivete of humans. They all sat around for some time and grew fairly bored, as was inevitable. Abezithibod would then begin talking to the Egyptians he had sealed away, pondering what had brought them there and philosophizing on the nature of the Cosmos. Ramses II and his soldiers would eventually reach enlightenment, forgive Abezithibod, and pass on to the afterlife.

Ramses II and his soldiers would eventually reach enlightenment, forgive Abezithibod, and pass on to the afterlife.
King Solomon
After a good amount of time had passed, a curious ruler would come to visit Abezithibod. This was King Solomon, who was accompanied by the demons Ornias and Ephippas. Solomon had a proposition for Abezithibod: The demon would help in the building of Solomon's temple and would be granted the honor of being a part of his kingdom. All Abezithibod had to do was hold up a pillar of Solomon's palace. While a fairly one sided deal, Abezithibod’s pride would not let him say no as it was such a simple task. He was also bored out of his mind.
The great palace of King Solomon was truly a sight to behold, but Abezithibod was starting to question his decision to help King Solomon in the first place. Was being a stone decoration really what he was cut out for? Furthermore, King Solomon was not a perfect ruler, falling victim to the vices that naturally plagued man. Eventually Solomon would pass and the temple experienced great strife over the ages. After decades and centuries of the temple being ransacked, Abezithibod eventually abandoned his post, leading to what remained of the temple finally collapsing.
Raguel (now an Archangel) noticed Abezithibod was lingering around where the palace once stood and asked him why he was still there. He was no longer obligated by Solomon and Heaven declared him redeemed after he had helped out with Egypt. The entire experience with Solomon had finally tempered Abezithibod and he was a lot more level headed at this point. Raguel was quite impressed with Abezithibod’s progress and commended him for his growth.
Meeting Ellen The Wayward
It was the 12th century and Abezithibod needed something to do. Raguel had someone in mind who Abezithibod could help and would point him in the direction of a wandering Irish woman named Ellen. Abezithibod seemed apprehensive at first, so Raguel appealed to his pride. Surely the great Abezithibod could not only accomplish this simple task, but excel at it! Of course the demon knew he was being buttered up, but he did not care. He just wanted something interesting to do.
Ellen the Wayward was always looking for students to educate, people to help, and knowledge to learn. This attitude led to Abezithibod taking a liking to Ellen. He still did not truly understand humans, but Ellen made him realize that some were trying to advance and be productive at the very least. In truth she reminded him of Raguel from so long ago.
Eventually Ellen had a child with Lucifuge Rofocale. The child’s name was Heinrik and Abezithibod took a liking to him. He was rambunctious, full of energy, and had a fire in his eyes. It reminded Abezithibod of himself when he was young. He would see the child as a nephew, stopping by Lucifuge’s estate to check on Heinrik and see how they were doing. To Lucifuge’s chagrin, Heinrik would always be on his best behavior when Abezithibod was around, a courtesy he rarely got.
Abezithibod in Modern Times
In the modern era, Abezithibod goes about his own business, not bothering anyone. While the days of toying with mortals was fun, he realized that people in general do not appreciate it. Still a proud demon, he now knows to keep his pride in check. Despite being quiet most of the time, he will gladly speak up when he needs to. As an aside, Ellen still keeps in touch with Abezithibod and the two hang out with each other whenever they can.
Abezithibod can usually be seen riding his motorcycle around Inferno and visiting various clubs, bars, and pizza joints. He loves to travel and see the sights, widely believed to be because he spent ages at the bottom of a sea, holding up a pillar. Some will be on the lookout for him and buy him a drink whenever he is in town. Abezithibod certainly deserves one after all of the things he has been through.
Despite being seven feet tall and usually having his tail out, Abezithibod is very unassuming. Typically it is hard to discern that he is Beelzebub’s son unless asked. Humans who have ventured to Inferno (usually intoxicated) often like to pick fights with Abezithibod until he inevitably knocks them on their bottoms. One thing Abezithibod loves to do while out and about is Karaoke. His preferred music to sing is rock and hard rock songs from Earth during the 1970s and 1980s.
Some things to note about Abezithibod:
Heinrik Rofocale
Heinrik’s Childhood
Heinrik is the child of Lucifuge Rofocale and Ellen the Wayward, with Lucifuge taking responsibility for Heinrik. Raising the young demon was not easy for Lucifuge given his duties to the governing bodies of Inferno. Heinrik was a rowdy tornado of a child that loved to mess with everyone, especially his father. This ranged from Pranks, rearranging stuff, refusing to go to bed, and loud music.
Lucifuge had his own ways of dealing with Heinrik: Time outs, threatening not to get certain toys for him, and even asking him to perform his talents and hobbies in front of his co-workers. When all else failed, Lucifuge would call Ellen and have her show up. This worked no matter what as Heinrik respected and loved his mother. And despite his antics, Heinrik did express the same feelings towards his father. When Lucifuge would be having a bad day, Heinrik would go up to him and give him a hug or help him clean his office.

Some things to note about Abezithibod:
- It is advised not to call him “Abezi” or by his real name. The former is incredibly annoying and permission is needed for the latter.
- Abezithibod’s demeanor is deceptive, often hiding how powerful he truly is.
- Abezithibod has a high tolerance for Alcohol, making him undefeatable in drinking contests. Of course he frowns at the modern state of brewing on Earth as alcoholic beverages were more sacred in antiquity.
- Abezithibod prefers cigars and thinks cigarettes are pathetic trash. He lights his Cigars with either his thumb or his tail. Abezithibod is also utterly appalled at the modern tobacco industry of Earth.
- To this day Abezithibod is still good friends with Raguel. While he still considers himself a demon, Raguel fully views him as an angel, regardless of where he resides.
- Abezithibod is fully aware of the Unlight. It is an interesting realm, but he is anxious about going to it. Realms like Reality Errors, Overflow Realms, and IGL zones make his head spin, causing him to be leery of visiting irrational and irregular realms.
Heinrik’s Childhood
Heinrik is the child of Lucifuge Rofocale and Ellen the Wayward, with Lucifuge taking responsibility for Heinrik. Raising the young demon was not easy for Lucifuge given his duties to the governing bodies of Inferno. Heinrik was a rowdy tornado of a child that loved to mess with everyone, especially his father. This ranged from Pranks, rearranging stuff, refusing to go to bed, and loud music.
Lucifuge had his own ways of dealing with Heinrik: Time outs, threatening not to get certain toys for him, and even asking him to perform his talents and hobbies in front of his co-workers. When all else failed, Lucifuge would call Ellen and have her show up. This worked no matter what as Heinrik respected and loved his mother. And despite his antics, Heinrik did express the same feelings towards his father. When Lucifuge would be having a bad day, Heinrik would go up to him and give him a hug or help him clean his office.
School was relatively normal for Heinrik, barring the fact that other students picked on him for his rather short tail and stone hands. He received names like “Rocky,” “Stone-hands McGee,” and “short tail.” These schoolyard shenanigans, combined with his rowdy nature, led him to skip frequently. School was too boring and he did not like being picked on.
Meeting the Pari’s
One day while he was skipping, Heinrik went wandering through the woods near his school. He eventually stumbled across a well dressed woman named Gabriella Pari. The up and coming explorer was back in Inferno on break, albeit she had not announced this. Heinrik saw her practicing her magic and thought she was pretty cool. At first he was secretly watching the angel, but he eventually gave it away that he was there. Gabriella did not mind, but quickly picked up on the fact that Heinrik was skipping. After talking with him for a bit, Gabriella realized Heinrik needed special schooling. She then had the idea to see what her mother was up to.
Going forward, Heinrik would be tutored by Valentina Pari. Lucifuge was okay with this, for the most part. He really wanted the boy to go to normal school, but Gabriella put forth a convincing argument for why her mother was ideal for tutoring the boy. Over the course of his private schooling, Heinrik would start creating his signature black flame ability as time went on and became good friends with Gabriella and her family.
Heinrik’s Teen Years
Reading about Rome and Atlantis was probably the last thing Heinrik should have done during his teen years. He quickly had dreams of being a proud warrior, with glory and honor to his name. Given the exploits of his Uncle Abezithibod he had heard about, there was no stopping Heinrik. After taking on a human form, he set out for Earth during the 20th century. Heinrik would come to regret most of this decision in hindsight.
The Great War was in full swing and Heinrik was not sure which side to join given how complicated the conflict was to him. Fortunately a handy reality walker going by the name of Infinity just so happened to be in the neighborhood and suggested he join the Americans. During World War II, Heinrik cared less about slaying his enemies and was more concerned about protecting civilians. World War I had messed with him and his perception of being a mighty warrior.
Naturally Heinrik ran into his mother while out on the battlefields of Europe and she was not pleased about this. Heinrik was definitely grounded when he finally returned to Inferno, but she also recognized that her son wanted to be a hero... a questionable era to be a hero in, for sure. Having an extra hand in the TOG 3 definitely helped though.
This part of Heinrik's life allowed him to hang out with Abezithibod more, who he would come to fully idolize in addition to Gabriella. Heinrik would participate in every war up until the 1990s. At this point he was starting to get fed up with wars of the modern era. It was grueling, there was no glory to be had, and seeing his comrades die in front of him had finally killed his drive. Despite this upset, Heinrik did not regret the lives he saved and helped. He would also hold onto his M1 Garand, as it had served him well throughout his years of service..
The 2000s and onwards
Heinrik finally returned to Inferno and spent a month at the Rofocale estate. He was grounded and took that seriously, to his father’s surprise. Once his grounding was finished, he found himself invited to an annual ceremony. His father had been keeping track of his escapades and Inferno's Veteran Legion had all sorts of awards to give him.
Despite war being a nightmare, it warmed his heart to know that his peers viewed him as a true soldier and a hero who went above and beyond. Heinrik did not really think what he did was that big of a deal until his father put his accomplishments into perspective. He was also commended by other demons who had taken to Earth in the past, just like he had done. Heinrik was feeling pretty good for once and finally accepted some pride for his time in the military.
Upon retiring from military service, Heinrik wanted to travel. He was not sure what to do with himself, so why not see the sights of Inferno? Fortunately Abezithibod was around at the time, so he sought him out. Abezithibod could see that Heinrik was aimless, so he happily took the boy with him on his travels. Abezithibod liked having Heinrik around as he was kind of lonely when Ellen was not around. Plus he did legitimately want to mentor the young demon given his recent past. Amidst all the clubs, bars, pizza joints, malls, and arcades, Abezithibod would tell Heinrik his stories and impart his wisdom onto him. And of course Abezithibod had to hear Heinrik's stories as well.
At some point around 2012, Heinrik would hear someone strange calling out for help. It was a Slavic man by the name of Vladislav Dracul (under the name Vladislav Velimir Faust at the time). Heinrik was truly intrigued by the individual, as Vladislav was not exactly human. He also saw that the man had had a troubled life and empathized with him. After presenting the idea of becoming a necromancer to him, Heinrik became Vladislav's partner. He would stay close to him and keep him safe to the best of his ability.
In regards to Heinrik
Heinrik's personality is fairly complicated. He started life as a rowdy fireball with boundless energy who was very friendly, albeit a bit too enthusiastic at times. This led to him not having many friends throughout his childhood. He never took too well to people telling him what to do nor being picked on. Heinrik had a hard time focusing in school, given that he was not really into being lectured and was more of a hands-on learner. This was something that Valentina and Gabriella quickly picked up on. Moving on to his teenage years, obviously he had fantasies of grandeur and fame. Even demons are not immune to growing up and the pains that come with it. Heinrik got pretty headstrong and brash during these years, something his years of service tempered.
One thing that remained constant was his inner fire and pride. Even if his adventures dampened it, it was always there no matter what. Going into proper adulthood, he had become more refined and courteous, for the most part. He is more than happy to tussle with anyone that messes with him. Lastly, he will stand up for his friends and family no matter what the situation is. His bonds are something he cherishes the most.
It would be a lie to say his past does not haunt him, however. There are nights where he will wake up in a cold sweat. It could be him having a vivid nightmare, thinking he's still on the battlefield still, or having an idea that could have led to a different outcome in battles long since past. Believing he is still on the battlefield are typically the worst fits, sometimes requiring those he is with to treat him like a soldier to get him to relax
In regards to his abilities, Heinrik is a unique demon. Naturally he has the standard array of demon abilities, but of note is his stone hands. They are an organic stone that appear to be furnaces of some kind, being the source of his signature Black Flame. These furnaces definitely caught the attention of his parents and teachers. Valentina was able to learn how these worked and then taught Heinrik how to use them.
Black Flame is best described as a demonic fire that burns whatever it touches, similar to ANTIMagic Haze’s Soul Fire or Rose Raynot’s Scarlet Fire. Iron, glass, concrete and other non flammable materials burn like they were flammable. It is a handy ability, if one knows how to use it effectively. Another benefit of this is the stone fists themselves. They can deliver the mightiest of punches, defeating an enemy without even having to use the Black Flames.
Heinrik does have to remind himself to be careful though. His fellow demons can shrug off his punches and flames, but humans cannot. Anyone who invokes him can make use of the Black Flames and potentially turn their hands into his. Vladislav has definitely made use of this, despite being somewhat scared of it. In regards to who can summon him, Heinrik is very selective. It is not that he thinks he is too good for people, it is that he knows how dangerous his abilities can be.

Heinrik did not really think what he did was that big of a deal until his father put his accomplishments into perspective. He was also commended by other demons who had taken to Earth in the past, just like he had done. Heinrik was feeling pretty good for once and finally accepted some pride for his time in the military.
Upon retiring from military service, Heinrik wanted to travel. He was not sure what to do with himself, so why not see the sights of Inferno? Fortunately Abezithibod was around at the time, so he sought him out. Abezithibod could see that Heinrik was aimless, so he happily took the boy with him on his travels. Abezithibod liked having Heinrik around as he was kind of lonely when Ellen was not around. Plus he did legitimately want to mentor the young demon given his recent past. Amidst all the clubs, bars, pizza joints, malls, and arcades, Abezithibod would tell Heinrik his stories and impart his wisdom onto him. And of course Abezithibod had to hear Heinrik's stories as well.
At some point around 2012, Heinrik would hear someone strange calling out for help. It was a Slavic man by the name of Vladislav Dracul (under the name Vladislav Velimir Faust at the time). Heinrik was truly intrigued by the individual, as Vladislav was not exactly human. He also saw that the man had had a troubled life and empathized with him. After presenting the idea of becoming a necromancer to him, Heinrik became Vladislav's partner. He would stay close to him and keep him safe to the best of his ability.
In regards to Heinrik
Heinrik's personality is fairly complicated. He started life as a rowdy fireball with boundless energy who was very friendly, albeit a bit too enthusiastic at times. This led to him not having many friends throughout his childhood. He never took too well to people telling him what to do nor being picked on. Heinrik had a hard time focusing in school, given that he was not really into being lectured and was more of a hands-on learner. This was something that Valentina and Gabriella quickly picked up on. Moving on to his teenage years, obviously he had fantasies of grandeur and fame. Even demons are not immune to growing up and the pains that come with it. Heinrik got pretty headstrong and brash during these years, something his years of service tempered.
One thing that remained constant was his inner fire and pride. Even if his adventures dampened it, it was always there no matter what. Going into proper adulthood, he had become more refined and courteous, for the most part. He is more than happy to tussle with anyone that messes with him. Lastly, he will stand up for his friends and family no matter what the situation is. His bonds are something he cherishes the most.
It would be a lie to say his past does not haunt him, however. There are nights where he will wake up in a cold sweat. It could be him having a vivid nightmare, thinking he's still on the battlefield still, or having an idea that could have led to a different outcome in battles long since past. Believing he is still on the battlefield are typically the worst fits, sometimes requiring those he is with to treat him like a soldier to get him to relax
In regards to his abilities, Heinrik is a unique demon. Naturally he has the standard array of demon abilities, but of note is his stone hands. They are an organic stone that appear to be furnaces of some kind, being the source of his signature Black Flame. These furnaces definitely caught the attention of his parents and teachers. Valentina was able to learn how these worked and then taught Heinrik how to use them.
Black Flame is best described as a demonic fire that burns whatever it touches, similar to ANTIMagic Haze’s Soul Fire or Rose Raynot’s Scarlet Fire. Iron, glass, concrete and other non flammable materials burn like they were flammable. It is a handy ability, if one knows how to use it effectively. Another benefit of this is the stone fists themselves. They can deliver the mightiest of punches, defeating an enemy without even having to use the Black Flames.
Heinrik does have to remind himself to be careful though. His fellow demons can shrug off his punches and flames, but humans cannot. Anyone who invokes him can make use of the Black Flames and potentially turn their hands into his. Vladislav has definitely made use of this, despite being somewhat scared of it. In regards to who can summon him, Heinrik is very selective. It is not that he thinks he is too good for people, it is that he knows how dangerous his abilities can be.
