Zargedge
Prince of Hell
As one of the Devil Princes of Hell, Zargedge is not technically considered a deity by followers of the Divine Family. Although he does have considerable power, comparable to the might of Suris , Zargedge is ultimately bound by the constraints of Hell and its affiliated limits.
Zargedge is the Prince of Greed, Lust, and Envy, desiring that which he cannot have and gorging himself upon that which he does have. Like most of the gods, he has no defined form, although he is most often depicted as a tall man with two pairs of spiraling impala horns, three pairs of feathered wings, and the feet and hindquarters of an antelope, wearing heavy gold jewelry at his throat and wrists.
Zargedge's eternal foe is Suris , the youngest child of the Divine Family. Although he considers himself the pinnacle of ability and very smart, Suris regularly outwits him, and often traps him in his own game. Suris is responsible for the golden chain which keeps Zargedge tied to his realm of Hell, and prevents him from destroying the mortal world.
There are many stories of Zargedge's origin; some claim he is a fallen angel, some say he was born of the malice of the first humans, and still others claim that he was the firstborn child of Niraila and Kulo, and cast out of the family when he committed some evil act.

Divine Symbols & Sigils
Zargedge is not generally worshiped as a deity; however, those cults which do (such as the Cult of Zargedge), generally use a symbol based on the shape of his horns, a pair of zigzagging lines.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Zargedge wants everything to belong to him and him alone, and he wants to luxuriate in a universe that belongs wholly to him. It is not so much power he craves as ownership - he wants to be able to say "the universe is MINE" and have it be true.
More than anything, he wants to subjugate the Divine Family, especially Suris.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
Zargedge's association with lust is a warranted one; he is attracted to practically everyone in the universe, and desires to own and dominate them in both the practical and sexual sense. He does not discriminate between men, women, and nonbinary people; everyone is fair game as far as his desire is concerned.
