Infernal Dukes: Antaia, the Witch Queen
She is mostly just from Green Ronin, and like most Green ROnin the fluff is...limited.
Antaia, the Witch Queen, Duke of Bodily Purity.
Patron: Fierna
Not to be confused with the Queen of Witchcraft Rosier, Antaia is completely different and shut up. And by completely different, she also served Belial and also has a rivalry with Lillith. However Antaia is not a fallen angel, instead being a Devil Through and through, and in many ways she is more similar to Carniveau than Rosier, since she is utterly obsessed with the idea of body purity. Her body purity obsession can seem at odds with Witchcraft, but Antaia argues that organized religion is in fact just another facet of the occult. She is a creature of purity, and finds any form of "dirtiness" absolutely abhorrent. This covers all the bases, from normal dirt, to periods, sex, masturbation, disease, blood, feces, birth, breastfeeding,sweat, tears, physical contact, humidity, eating, and really any bodily function what so ever. Anything remotely human is abhorrent to her, and she wishes to purge it from existence entirely. Her followers are Infernal aesthetics, and live extremely harshly, in a puritanical life style that would make Martin Luther flinch. This is mostly due to her love of fire, which Antaia sees as her greatest defense against an unclean world. Fire, lots and lots of fire.
Antaia in her true form appears as an entirely bald vaguely female humanoid with no orifices. Her lower body is entirely smooth, she has no ears, mouth or nose and her skin has no pores. In fact the only parts of her body that could be seen as "open" are her eyes, which are nothing more than pits in her face with fire within them. She has no capacity to cry. However she rarely wears this form, for fear of contamination. Instead, she dresses herself in steel plates, melded to her flesh, that cover every inch of her, with a see through visor of Infernal Ice over her eyes. Her entire body is incased in flame, to prevent any infection from getting through.
Cult: Despite being an openly evil Infernal Duke who hopes to take over the entire world, Antaia is generally seen as...rather harmless. Her churches are often openly tolerated, if not supported in various cities and she is rarely the target of Celestial Wrath. Even Paladins rarely see her as a major target
