Levistus, Lord of the Fifth, The Rogue Lord and False "Prince"

Truly the most hated Archdevil of all the Lords of the Nine, The Traitor Prince Levistus, Ruler of Stygia, is forever frozen in indestructible ice as punishment for murdering Asmodeus' wife, Benzosia. Rumor holds a deeper conspiracy spared him execution, however, with the rarely whispered story telling that Levistus had been bedding Asmodeus and Bensozia's daughter, Glasya, before she had become Lady of the Sixth and that he had used his seduction of Glasya to orchestrate a scheme to frame Glasya for the murder. If--the rumor purports--Asmodeus had acted further against Levistus, this falsified revelation would likely have been brought to light by his underlings, thereby giving Levistus the means to enact one final usurpation of Asmodeus even from beyond the grave. If Asmodeus had taken the bait, no doubt countless Devils would have wanted justice for their slain queen to be enacted upon Glasya, thereby putting Asmodeus in the midst of a ruinous quandary. If he were to spare Glasya, such perceived favoritism and nepotism would undermine his role as the paragon of Fiendish law and order in the eyes of other devils. If he did what law required and punished her, he would have been robbed of two of his greatest treasures by Levistus and his victory would have been a Pyrrhic one at best. Asmodeus, however, chose a more measured response than foreseen. He allowed Levistus to live and even to retain his Lordship over Sygia, but he condemned Levistus to forever be sealed within a glacier indestructible, eternal ice, his life protected from ever being extinguished, but his ambitions forever being stymied by having to be carried out by the hands of others. As a show of staying his hand even further, Asmodeus explained the punishment to the other denizens of Hell as being merely for the crime of trying to unseat him unsuccessfully and without just cause rather than allowing news of Bensozia's murder at his hands to spread; the murder was instead pinned upon an already-slain Pit Fiend who had been loyal to Levistus, ruled an unfortunate misfire in the commotion. Finally, in his master stroke, Asmodeus levied one final threat: if Levistus ever though of mentioning this agreement to any others, the curse upon him would lift, thawing the ice and summoning all of his foes to him that they might massacre him in his weakened state. Levistus--ever prideful and unwilling to relinquish his life without finding some way to outsmart and destroy Asmodeus--begrudgingly agreed to the pact between himself and Asmodeus that would enact this secret punishment for Bensozia's murder in hopes that he might find some other way to escape. The temptation to mention this pact and to ruin Asmodeus' reputation, of course, still looms eternally overhead for Levistus, but doing so would still ultimately be a victory for Asmodeus in his eyes, and this sentiment stays the frozen Lord of the Fifth's hand.

Since being frozen in such a fashion centuries ago, Levistus has amassed a staggering army of spies , envoys, and underlings to do his bidding across Stygia, Baator, and the rest of the multiverse. His preferred deputies are the Amnizu Devils, their ability to inflict amnesia upon their foes and to sow discord of particular use to the Frozen Traitor. His encouragement of their egotistic belief that they are above the laws of Baator would make Levistus and his Amnizu cronies truly dangerous to all of Baator were it not for one simple fact: Levistus' rival and the deposed, first Lord of Stygia, Geryon, has risen to prominence and power in recent years and is constantly vying to wrest control of Stygia from Levistus. Geryon's incursions into the strongholds of Levistus' lackeys forever stymie and thwart Levistus' schemes upon the other Lords of the Nine before he can enact them.

Unwilling to waste any more time than necessary combating Geryon, Levistus has thus been forced into a sort of stalemate, forever locked in a holding pattern wherein he can hardly act on his desire to betray and slaughter the other Lords of the Nine and wherein he is thus forced to instead dutifully act as the Lord of his layer. As such, Levistus has taken exceedingly exhaustive efforts to meet his soul quotas and to surpass them whenever necessary; this protects him from losing his Lordship and thus likely being executed by a vengeful Geryon while also having the added benefit of helping him to recruit more Devils to aid him in his fight against Geryon. Similarly aiding Levistus in his plight was the presence of commerce with outsiders. While trade with other layers of Baator was nigh-impossible for his reputation as a traitor, Levistus saw fit to open up trade with outsiders from the other Outer Planes to a degree rivaling and possibly even trivializing that of Mammon's activities. Though Stygia is almost exclusively composed of glacial seas covered in ice floes and icebergs, its frozen wastes do contain a few floating cities carved into the sides and hearts of the more enormous chunks of ice dotting the seas. These frozen cities are known to be hubs of interplanar commerce, particularly hubs for the trade and copying of spellbooks, spell scrolls, and other arcane secrets and treasures. While this largely arose out of happenstance, it is suspected that Levistus hopes such trade will one day bring in the means for him to free himself without being slain by Asmodeus, Geryon, or one of his many other enemies.

After years of waiting, I FINALLY get to play my long-running main character in a long-form campaign, so one final redesign was warranted! We're going into Storm King's Thunder with the intent of branching out from there, and I can't wait to see where his story goes.

trying to work out his backstory, Faerûn edition

[elibunn]

hnnng struggling to get the angle on our tiefling wizard’s horns right hhhhh (he’s a levistus tiefling and has like, ice horns)

[cassiartblog]

I found out levistus is only 6ft tall and the wiki going on and on about how all the other archdevils don’t like him makes the mental image of him so much more entertaining like this proportionately tiny guy infuriating everyone

Hello dear :3

I'm sorry for the late answer, I'm so stressed with my Mid-exam atm ;-;

Yes, Levistus is so short. Such a small devil compared to the others. I think it's kinda cute how they are all very tall, even up to 3 to 4 meters. And then there is Dispater with his 2,10 (which is a good height for us humans in my opinion because our neck won't hurt as much as with Mephistopheles lmao) and then there is the even shorter Levistus :D

It's almost adorable. Like, he is only 10cm taller than me (or about 4 inches). Not short for a human man but short compared to the tall archdevils.

I want to know how they look in their yearly meeting. What table do they sit on? Is it a big table for the tall devils? And does Levistus has then a higher chair to be able to look the others in the eyes or is he sitting so much down that he is barely able to look over the edge? That is even more adorable!

Or does he has his own child table and doesn't sit on the same table than the others? And what is with Dispater, is he able to sit with the big ones cause he is about 1ft taller than Levistus or does he has to sit on the child table as well? 👀

What a funny and cute thought!

Anyway, I wish you a good evening (or whatever time of day it is for you) and a hellish good time! Greetings from the hells <3

[tiny-huts]

Still not over Brennan making me be obsessed with Asmodeus. I had always just thought he was kind of the dullest of the devils/betrayers in both the Realms and in Exandria and then Brennan came out with his shitty little wounded gazelle routine and then murdered everyone in one (1) in game second and well..... I'm open to changing my mind
