Belphegor, Morguesmith

Lore[]

An utterly repulsive stench filled the air of the underworld's morgue. Upon a mountainous pile of demon corpses lay Belphegor. Her apathetic behavior meant that she worked to the benefit of none but herself. Though she had no interest in the coming battle against the Heavenly forces, she found the role of managing the morgue and using the remains as materials for weaponry simple enough. Indeed, it allowed her sufficient time to indulge in her favorite activity: slumber.

Acquisition[]

Released as part of the Master of Fate 5 box Card Pack, August 18, 2014. Special evolution card obtained when pulling a pick ticket from the box.

Name origin[]

In demonology, Belphegor or Beelphegor (Hebrew "Lord of the Gap") is a demon, and one of the seven princes of Hell, who helps people make discoveries. He seduces people by suggesting to them ingenious inventions that will make them rich. As a demon, he is described in Kabbalistic writings as the "disputer", an enemy of the sixth Sephiroth "beauty". His role as a demon was to sow discord among men and seduce them to evil through the apportionment of wealth. Also according to some 16th-century demonologists, his power is stronger in April, he tempts by means of laziness; Belphegor is the chief demon of the deadly sin known as Sloth in Christian tradition.
