| ~ Adramelech |
Adramelech, also known as Baal Adramelch, Adrammelech Andramelech or Andrealphus, is a fallen angel turned Archdemon that act as the supervisor for Lucifer and Satan's wardrobe and a chancellor of Hell.
Description[]
Adramelech is generally depicted with a human torso and head, and the rest of his body having the appearance of a mule or peacock.
A poet's description of Adramelech can be found in Robert Silverberg's short story "Basileus." Adramelech is described as "The enemy of God, greater in ambition, guile and mischief than Satan. A fiend more curst — a deeper hypocrite."
History[]
Fall from Grace[]
Adramelech was an angel that resided in Heaven until he joined Lucifer's cause to usurp God. After the failed rebellion he was vanquished by the archangels Uriel and Raphael in the War in Heaven. Given his role as the supervisor for Satan's wardrobe it is likely that he had a similar job description within Hell where he tailored and designed the outfits for the angels.
Chancellor of Hell[]
After his fall from Heaven and the establishment of the infernal kingdom within Hell, Adramelech was was appointed as the chancellor of the Order of the Fly, founded by Beelzebub and president of the high council of devils. He is also the Grand Chancellor of Hell within the Stygian Council of Pandemonium along with being the supervisor of Satan and Lucifer's wardrobe.
Earthly Accounts[]
Adramelech had some influence over the mortals on Earth as he was falsely worshipped as a sun along with his sibling Anamelech who was worshipped as a moon god. The center of their worship was the town of Sepharvaim and was brought by the Sepharvite colonists into Samaria. However, his worship was through some of the most horrendous practices in ancient history; the burning of children as sacrificial offerings. Because of these heinous acts, Adramelech helped the city of Sepharvaim flourish during the height of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
It is said that the city of Sepharvaim was destroyed either by Moloch, who did not appreciate another devil replicating the practices he reveled in, or a host of Destroyer Angels. Adramelech and his followers would later move to Samaria where their cult would emerge but later condemned by the Israelites and God Himself.
