Background Story
The 72 Demon Children of King Solomon are the spawn of the late King Solomon and an unknown mistress. When they born into the world, people feared their existence. Most of them were shun by humanity, while others were welcomed with open arms. Originally, there were 68 demons until Solomon spawned off four remaining ones, declaring them the most powerful. However, he feared that eventually his children would lose control over their powers and try to use them to destroy everything. The great king placed the great task of sealing his children away to his seventieth child, Seere. A few voluntarily agreed to be sealed away in the Spirit Realm, while the remaining ones rejected the idea. Eventually, they were all captured and sealed away.
The children grew to love their new home, having no fear of war, pain, hatred, anything. However, the first child, Bael, had made contact with humanity, thus opening a rift between the spirit world and the human world. It was because of this, the seal on them was weakened and eventually crumbled to nothing. Most of the children became corrupted by darkness, while others kept true to their father's teachings was living peacefully with other lifeforms.
Each Solomon Child possesses their own unique level of seal, or crest, that they can use to shield themselves from damage. If, however, they face their own kin, determining them by their level, their crest could either shatter with ease or not at all. They may also make a pact with humans if granted permission.
According to Marax, as he battled Adam Vargas and Xiru, he tells them that the Solomon Children only wish to return home, even if it means to kill everything in their path to do so. However, Cimejes and Amdusias both plea that some of their corrupted brethren are scared of the human world and can only find solice in the loving embrace of the spirit world. They also say that only Seere can truly return them all to their true home.
The 72 Demons
The demons' names (given below) are taken from the Ars Goetia, which differs in terms of number and ranking from the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum of Weyer. As a result of multiple translations, there are multiple spellings for some of the names, which are given in the articles concerning them.
1. King Bael
Voice Actor: Chiara Zanni
Seiyuu: Ai Kobayashi
The first of Solomon's Children. He was the first to awaken and challenge humanity. In fact, the day he made it to the human world, he took the form of an infant human with white hair and lavender colored eyes wrapped in a white cloth. The Black Hearts had found him and placed him in charge of one of their sections of Dark Hill. There he was put to sleep. Should he awaken, ten days would occur before the end of the world. Even if he were to die, the destruction would continue. At first, no one knew who had awoken him until Xadron reveals it was him who did it. It was Bael awakening that caused Urteil to happen.
Bael is also a master of manipulation. When Taprika Yamaoka was captured by Albert Wesker, he reached to her in her dreams. He assumed the identity Masaro to trick her and come to him. As she grasped onto him, he was able to dive deeper into her heart, tricking her into thinking that her deceased son had been trapped in darkness for so long. Doris was the only one to see through this illusion. Because of a combination of his crest and Taprika's awakened Wadjet virus, no one could touch him until Winona shot Taprika with an arrow. With him away from her, they were able to save Taprika.
Enraged by the fact he lost Taprika, and the Guardians of Sanzemica had arrived, he summons his brother, Phenex, to protect him. Even together, it wasn't enough and Bael was destroyed by Xiru and Winona's Twilight Purification attack.
