Nergal is an outcast Duke of Hell, one of the Rabble of Devilkin.
Description
Nergal, sometimes called "The Bringer of Pestilence and Fever", is a gruesome duke of very unusual appearance. Nergal is a lion headed toad who sports a pinkish-gray, purulent skin covered in sores that ooze a colorless, poisonous ichor.
Relationships
Nergal is among the most powerful of the Rabble of Devilkin. Exiled to Avernus after being denied the control of Malbolge after the destruction of Beherit, he tries to raise more power on Avernus. He is in competition with the pit-fiend Kochbiel and Dispater's daughter Malachlabra.
