'''Alvarez''', known as the Purging Duke, is the [[demon lord]] of Torture and Inquisition.

==Description==
Alvarez is a master of torture who searches the ranks of the tanar'ri incessantly for signs of the taint of Law. As a mere petitioner, he outwitted the nalfeshnee of Woe who judged him, and served as a maggot-loving chasme and then a powerful glabrezu assassin (for 3,000 years) before gaining a demonic form closely resembling his living one: a human man with oily blue-black hair. His clothing is immaculate, but a light of insanity burns in his eyes. 

==Relationships==
Alvarez is famous for the brutalities he inflicts upon his own troops. Even [[demon]]s fear his inventive torments.

==Realm==
Alvarez dwells on the 57th layer of the [[Abyss]], known as Torturous Truth.
