Belphegor, Morguesmith

Lore[]

Belphegor was the embodiment of sloth, one of the seven deadly sins. Yet she was productive enough to provide arms to the whole of the demonic forces. In the putrid air of the morgue, the bodies of the deceased decomposed and formed into swords, one after another. Their keen edges were laced with enough accursed power to kill a god. None dared approach the morgue nor awaken her from her sleep. For should she be enraged, she would unleash every last blade, reducing all of creation to slivers.

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.
