Abilities: The Hephaeston's abilities are not to be taken in anything but high regard. Though they move slow, they strike hard, and are among the stronger of the lesser Demons that exist. They have the ability to control fire in a limited context, as their master Beelzebub would, but their true prowess lies in the fashioning of metal. The Hephaeston Demons are commonly revered as being the blacksmiths of Inferis, which at the same time gives them a strong relationship with Belial, the Prince of Warfare.

The Hephaeston's combat abilities lie within not the creation of weapons, however, but the utility of their forge hammers. Massive behemoths of weapons comprised of tonnes of demonic metals, the forge hammers may strike slowly, but they make the ground around the towering Hephaestons they belong to quiver as if it were afraid. There is little to no defending to be done against these hammers - though their strikes are easy to evade if you're dexterous enough. Hephaeston Demons can often channel their pyrokinesis through the hammers, too.

Miscellaneous Notes: - Said to be a combination of the wills of Belial and Beelzebub, and a middleground between the two.
- Excellent forgemasters.
- Can be found working for Belial en masse as well as naturally in the Ashlands.
