The [Eighth Hell] <> is ruled by Mephistopheles.
His main aim is to wrest the [7th plane] <> from [Baalzebul] and,
with the strength thus gained,
challenge Asmodeus for the overlordship of all the hells <>.
His great iron citadel in the ice mountains of the frozen plane is a place of much plotting and intrigue.
The [Eighth Hell]'s <> outer marches of oozing slime and the steaming fringe beyond,
from come Mephisto's [malebranche] <> and [pit fiends] <>,
are said to be a constant source of worry to him.

Mephistopheles has a great,
3-tined fork +3 <military fork> which can,
upon his command,
deliver 3-12 points of cold,
electrical,
or fire damage,
saving throw vs. spells applicable.
Each function is usable 3 times per day.
These function damage points are in addition to all other damage caused by the weapon.

Mephistopheles can,
at will,
1 at a time,
1 per round,
use the following spell-like powers as a 20th-level magic-user:
[animate dead], [beguile] <>, [charm person], [cone of cold], [detect invisible] <>, [detect magick], [dispel illusion], [dispel magick], [geas], [ice storm], [illusion] <>, [invisibility], [know alignment], [produce flame], [polymorph self], [raise dead fully] <>, [read languages] <>, [read magic],
[rulership] <> once per day,
[shape change] once per day,
[suggestion], [teleportation] <>, [wall of ice], fulfill another's [wish],
and [unholy word] <> once per day.
Mephisto causes [fear] by gaze (save vs. spells applicable) or within a 10-foot radius (save vs. rods et al, <> applicable).
He can summon 1-3 [ice devils] with 90% chance of success.

Mephistopheles is a tall,
blue-black humanoid with handsome,
if diabolical,
features.
He has huge muscles as befits his great strength.
His scales are sooty black.
His wings are deep blue,
as are his horns and talons.
His eyes are pale blue with red irises <irides> and pupils.
His normal speech is whispering wind. <make link?>
 

MP: Mephistopheles makes his domain in the iron citadel of
Mephistar, overlooking the great glacier called Nargus. His chief
duke and servant is Hutijin.
