In the book For Love Of Evil, does anyone remember the name of Satan's lieutenent that helps him organize Hell, and basically runs the day-to-day operations?

I don't recall the book, but I to recall some names that might flag your memory. The Jewish Book of Jubilees calls out a name "Matema" who tried to kill Moses. The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarches the bad guy is called "Beliar."

No, those aren't it, but thank you. I don't know how much this character is based on fact or research. But I thought the name started with "N", like Nicodemus or something

The Character, as close to as I can find, is Ozymandias, who was unfrozen from a block of ice in the story to help govern Hell. I'm also pretty sure that his character is based on a real, historical figure. Hoped that helped.

Ozymandias! Yes! That was it. Thank you!

Isn't Ozymandias the name of the guy in "Watchmen"? Also is this a good book? I like books about Heaven/Hell.


Seen a lot of necromancy lately...Can I win the necromancy trophy?

I read the series ages ago and really enjoyed it. The series isn't just about heaven and he'll. It also features death, fate, and time. Basically there jobs.

Isn't Ozymandias the name of the guy in "Watchmen"?

Yup. It's also the classical Greek name for Ramesses II, and a poem by Shelly.

Ozymandias is generally used as a metaphor for hubris, with Shelly's poem containing the line ""Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" found on the bottom of a broken statue in the middle of the desert, where all of Ozymandias' supposedly immortal achievements have long since disappeared.

Sorry, I'm bored, here endeth the lesson. Good necro, by the way! :)
