Keep up the momentum and post another entry already? Don't mind if I do! Much like Raphael and Uriel, these two Superiors are very unique and not likely to be served by the average player of In Nomine, but they are nonetheless worth discussing - it's Magog and Lilith!

Magog is the Demon Prince of Cruelty. Once, in ancient times, he was a Kyriotate and the most powerful Servitor of the Archangel David, holding a Word of his own. As the Angel of Fortitude, Magog drove mortals to stand fast and overcome opposition. However, the longer he tried to inspire Fortitude in mortals, the more he became disgusted by their cowardice. He began banding together other Angels into more aggressive works, becoming steadily obsessed with making the mortals he possessed strike first and often. When he Fell, Lucifer reveled in it being the 'highest-ranking' Fall since the Rebellion. The Morning Star welcomed the newly-crowned Prince of Cruelty, arguably the vilest of all Shedim ever to Fall, and Hell trembled with excitement to see what havok he would wreak...but his reign was short-lived. David, after allowing himself a moment's sorrow over his lost, beloved servant, began planning. Magog reigned freely for a single day before David and Khalid (then a very young Angel) captured and bound Magog deep beneath the ground in Egypt, trapping him in corporeal form. There he has festered for millennia, his wrath and aggression growing with each passing moment. Should he ever be freed, he will surely be a terror upon all - for after all, Magog was imprisoned long before the War became a secret one, hidden away from mortal eyes, and he has no desire to be subtle...

Lilith is the Princess of Freedom, as well as the First Woman. During the "Eden experiment", Lilith was created to be Adam's equal, but he refused to treat her as such. When Heaven would not force Adam to be her peer and thus violate his gift of free will, Lilith exercised her own and walked out. She'd hated the idea of being Heaven's lab rat anyway. Lucifer later found Lilith and offered her a boon no mortal since has been afforded: a Word, and all the dark Essence she would need to uphold it. Lilith takes the Word of Freedom very seriously, possessing no Servitors and claiming no Principality - she prefers to live in one of her homes-away-from-home on Earth, far from the tiresome politics of the Princes. Nevertheless, the other members of Hell's hierarchy generally like her, and try to stay on her good side for a number of reasons, not least of which being Lilith's status as the sole producer of an entire band of Demons: the deal-making Lilim. Like her Lilim daughters, Lilith knows the secret Needs of anyone she looks upon, and when she knows how to give it to them, she binds them to her with a Geas. In this way, though she lies as well as any Balseraph, she never breaks her end of a bargain. The First Woman, always beautiful and graceful, clothes herself in a gown glimmering with stars representative of the many favors she is owed by Demons, mortals, and even Angels - for whether or not they believe she might someday find Salvation, nearly all agree that Lilith has something to offer everyone. Lilith is not crude or malicious, but is quite selfish as a matter of survival in Hell. She supports freedom and anarchy in pretty much all its forms, even when it brings about positive change in the world, and she plays a mean twelve-string guitar, like some of her favorite mortal musicians.
