king of hell

Underworld's supreme ruler

King of hell refers to a ruler of the underworld or infernal realm, appearing across religious traditions and mythology.

Satan holds this role in Christian theology, while other cultures name different figures—Hades in Greek myth, Yama in Buddhist and Hindu traditions.

In fiction and games, the title often designates the supreme demon or lord of a hellish dimension: He defeated the king of hell in the final boss fight.
