Mephistopheles (Shardsverse)

"I have lived infinite lifetimes before your kind crawled out of the mud. To fight me is to give me strength, to hate me is to give me life. Now prepare to be destroyed forever. Watch whore as the soul of your foolish lover is sent to Oblivion"

- Mephisto to Solomon and Sheba

Mephistopheles, or commonly known as Mephisto or the Man in Black, is the second oldest Archdemon in existence and the younger brother of Lilith, and the older brother of Baal, Azazel, and Leviathan. He is the Primordial Demon embodying Hatred and Deceit. In the wake of their older sister's disappearance, Hell descended into a civil war with the remaining four Archdemons fighting for Lilith's throne. He was defeated alongside Baal and Leviathan by Azazel as she assumed the Throne of Hell. Mephisto is the father of Abaddon and Asmodeus.

History
Mephistopheles was born from Malfegor's energies when Hell was formed after Lilith. Even after all five of them were born, the four attempted to take control of Hell only to be subjugated by Lilith with a mere release of her power. Mephisto willingly served Lilith after her tremendous display of power, offering his undying loyalty. When Lilith left Hell to be with the Archangel, Mephisto couldn't care less and took this opportunity to cement himself as Lilith's rightful heir, thus Hell descended into a Civil War with Azazel and Baal vying for the Throne. Leviathan sided with him as the two had been joined in a union and agreed to rule Hell as its king and queen. However, after eons of battle, Mephisto, alongside Leviathan and Baal, were soundly defeated by Azazel at the center of Hell, the Black Hold.

Mephisto would be summoned by the King, Solomon, in exchange for an offer. He would serve him so long as he resurrected Sheba. Seeing an opportunity, Mephisto granted Solomon one of the Five Primal Magic classified underneath Gehenna, Chaigidel, however, he was outwitted for Solomon was blessed by Magnus with the Primal Magic Esotera. After Mephisto performed the resurrection, Solomon used Esotera to learn the spell and fought Mephisto. He was overpowered and attempted to kill Sheba for Solomon's deception but was saved by Magnus, who banished Mephisto from Earth.

Now, Mephisto resides in Hell in the Fifth Circle alongside Leviathan.

Appearance
Mephisto, in his human form, appears as a man with silver hair and glasses. His eyes are grey and appear to be stagnant like that of a deceased animal, appearing to be emotionless. He wears blue and silver robes and wears a brown leather belt.

In his true form, Mephisto appears as a large four-armed unholy demonic entity. His head and face appear as a skull with a red glow in the eye sockets and large curved horns. His skin is sinewy and looks like muscle while from his lower chest down to his tail is skeletal with a yellow glow contained within the ribs.

Personality
Mephisto is cunning and deceptive as well as manipulative. He loves to manipulate entire civilizations against each other, pitting brother against brother, sister against sister, lover against lover. It brings him great joy watching entire societies collapse underneath the discord he sowed. Mephisto is feared among Hell by Demons almost as much as Lilith and Azazel, stating that he is Hell itself. As the Embodiment of Hatred, Mephisto relishes from hate when others hate him or when he hates others. He uses it as a tool against others. His greatest hatred is to his loss, a display of weakness as he views it, against Azazel, cursing himself for losing to her. However, Mephisto is capable of feeling love as he adored Lilith and Leviathan. He can also feel respect, showing it to his siblings, Baal and Azazel, and surprisingly, Gabriel. Mephisto loathes the bloodline of Solomon as well as his fellow Lesser Primal Magnus for deceiving him and cheating him out of his deal with Solomon. Despite not showing it, Mephisto can feel fear as he feared Lilith as well as the Rune Dragons Corona and Kairos.
