Plus, as of 5E Asmodeus was the one who commissioned the creation of the yugoloths, a neutral evil race between demons and devils (man, yugoloths sure did receive a lore downgrade they went from the original fiends to just a project Asmodeus paid some night hags to produce). However, his son Rule-of-Three is said to be aiding Graz'zt in a plan to unite the various fiends. In 3.5's Expedition to the Demonweb Pits he also attempted to establish a council of demon lords. Asmodeus took young Graz'zt with him with the intention of one day sending Graz'zt back to his plane of birth as an archdevil conqueror.Īs it stands now, Graz'zt has supposedly rebelled and embraced being a demon lord, combining multiple layers of the Abyss in a way similar to how the Nine Hells are arranged. Perhaps Pazuzu introduced Asmodeus to Pale Night, a fellow obyrith, during this time. Of course, I also like the 4E take on Asmodeus best, where he was an angel who guarded Tharizdun's prison until Pazuzu convinced him to rebel against his god and take a shard of the Heart of the Abyss to kill him with.

My preferred take is that Graz'zt's father was Asmodeus.
