The demon Astaroth is a former angel from the kerub hierarchy, who controls the earth and flora. Unlike most kerubs, he is much less strongly built, but he is inventive and mentally developed, curious, principled.
Among the demons in the abyss, Astaroth is the eldest Kerub, since older ones than him remained on Empyrean. He is a kind of local scientist from the Middle Ages, an architect and an inventor all rolled into one. Of course, he has assistants in this case...🔒
It was Astaroth who was prompted to join Lucifer's rebellion by a thirst for knowledge. Yahweh imposed restrictions on the exploration of the world by angels, and Astaroth wanted to know more how to reveal the secret of the powers of angels - the reason for their occurrence, why the gods were gifted with it, but people do not have them; to find out the secret of the power of Yahweh - the only being surrounded by angels who had the power of lightning.
For all these studies, the abyss had no limitations. But just like greed for wealth, greed for knowledge can also blacken a person. The thirst for knowledge will start a dispute with the principles of kerub, from which they will not emerge victorious. The desire to learn more will drag Astaroth into black business, in which he will cease to take into account any moral principles...🔒
There will be a parallel line in the story revealing the supernatural nature of the powers of the gods, which will explain its source.Since, despite the fact that myths are taken as inspiration, I want to give a natural explanation to the supernatural, and a character like Astaroth is great for unobtrusively revealing such an idea and the world's lore to the viewer.
