Belial, the Lord of Lies is one of the Lesser Evils, part of the Great Evils of the Burning Hells.

Along with Azmodan he exiled the three Prime Evils to Sanctuary, after which a civil war broke out between the two Lesser Evils over the control of the Burning Hells. Belial quickly lost the war after just two decades, and it is unknown whether he submitted to Azmodan after that. He has been confirmed to appear in Act II of Diablo III where he is apparently causing trouble in Caldeum.

HistoryEdit

Belial took part in the Dark Exile overthrowing the Prime Evils, wrongfully believing Diablo and his brothers to have hesitated in the Great Conflict. During the Exile, Belial ruled half of Hell opposite Azmodan. Because of their conflicting leadership, all of Hell was polarised in a state of civil war. One of his servants is Xazax. It is not known if Belial joined with Andariel and Duriel in supporting the Prime Evils' return, but with their defeat, it is likely that Hell has returned to its prior state of war.

Physical AppearanceEdit

Belial has thus far only been seen in concept art and a portrait found in the beta files. He appears to hover with a skeletal frame as a body. He also has two mouths, one on each side of his face, and apparently four eyes, similar to Azmodan.

Power and AbilitiesEdit

Though Belial has yet to appear in any games, books or other media, it is known that he uses lies and deception to great effect.

GameEdit

Belial has yet to make an appearance, but Blizzard has confirmed both him and the other unseen Lesser Evil, Azmodan, to be present in Diablo III. During a BlizzCon 09 IGN interview with Jay Wilson, Jay had this to say:

"Well, our story tends to focus a lot more on the two major demons and the impending invasion of Sanctuary." -Jay Wilson

"Act two's a little bit more of an intrigue and deception-focused story, because Belial is in there." -Jay Wilson From the IGN interview, pages 2 and 3: http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1017305p2.html
