Great Belial rules [Phlegethos], the Fourth Hell. <slight variant>
He is firmly in the camp of Baalzebul,
hating Geryon nearly as much as does Moloch.
Also,
Belial must guard against the machinations of Mammon,
so he does not have freedom to act.
From his basalt palace,
Belial dictates the disposition of the abishai,
barbed,
bearded,
bone, <link could be colored white>
and spined devils populating the reeking fens && smoking plains of his realm. <cf. DSG.37 & DSG.36>
<space>

He utilizes a huge military fork +4 in combat.
<check the EM for this one>
<as well, the image is a little off, up there, but no matter, as the head of his weapon will be left off when the whitespace is trimmed out>
This weapon causes the creature struck to save vs. spells or be affected as if smitten by a symbol of pain.

In addition,
Belial can use the following spell-like powers,
at will,
1 at a time,
1 per round as a 20th-level magic-user:
animate dead,
[beguile], <link: DMG, rod of beguiling?>
charm person,
[detect magick],
[dispel illusion],
[detect invisible], <link: detect invisibility>
[dispel magic],
geas,
[illusion], <link: wand of illusion>
[invisibility],
[know alignment],
[light],
produce flame,
[pyrotechnics],
[raise dead fully], <link to ressurection?>
[read languages], <link: comprehend languages>
[read magic],
shape change,
[suggestion],
[teleportation], <link: teleport, or, more likely, teleport without error, as he would be a Lesser God, according to the DDG>
[wall of fire],
fulfill another's [wish].
<space>

Three <3> times per day Belial can use a symbol of pain.
<space>

He can also pronounce an unholy word once per day. <perhaps, make a separate page for unholy word in the PH, and link to there>
<space>

Belial causes [fear] in any individual he stares at,
saving throw vs. spells applicable.
<space>
 

He can summon, with an 85% chance of success,
    1-4 (black) abishai (25%),
    1-3 barbed devils (25%),
    or 1-4 bearded devils (50%).
<slight format change>

Belial is the most handsome and diabolic in appearance of all the devils. <Comeliness = ??> <make link / provide details>
His eyes are large,
slanted,
and glow red. <check image>
He is also the lord of pain and sufferings.
 

MP: Belial rules from a basalt palace in the cone of a dead volcano,
one of the few permanently stable pieces of ground in his layer.
This palace is called Abriymoch, the Mount of the Leaping Flames.
Its tunnels and deep delvings are far larger than appears possible from the outside.
