archdevil
Supreme infernal lord
An archdevil is a supreme demon or chief among devils in religious or fictional hierarchies—a ruler of hell or a particular infernal domain.
The term appears in theology, fantasy literature, and role-playing games where demonic hierarchies matter: Satan is the archdevil in Christian tradition.
The party confronted an archdevil in the ninth layer of hell.
