The twin [[Archdevil| Lords of Phlegethos]], Belial and [[Fierna]] are a father and daughter pair who run the Fourth layer jointly. After a failed coup that Belial was a part of, he offered to share power with his daughter Fierna to appease Asmodeus. He accepted and so Fierna became the co-ruler of Phlegethos. Both of them look almost completely human, aside from their horns and clawed fingers. Both are rather attractive with sadistic personalities: they revel in killing and bloodshed. But they are no fools and will retreat when in trouble. Belial is very much a traditional devil: he's cautious, scheming and making plans to overthrow his fellow devils. He personally trains his daughter in how to be a good devil, including personally taking a hand in teaching her about [[Rule 34|"love and pain", which is exactly what it sounds like.]] Bleh. He lets Fierna handle all the deal-making and soul-harvesting duties, and as such has no cults.

In Fifth Edition, the nature of the relationship between Belial and Fierna has been updated. How exactly they are related to each other is now more ambiguous, they could be father and daughter, mother and son, siblings, or something else entirely. In addition, rather than a puppet ruler and a secret ruler, the two are now effectively co-rulers of Phlegethos; Belial handles the day-to-day logistics of running the layer, while Fierna handles diplomacy and the forging of contracts with mortals. As much as each would love to be rid of the other, just like the two halves of the brain, one logical and the other creative, they need each other in order to stay in power.
