Archdemon

Archdemons are the first demons created by Alrukan after settling within Anelom, but before creating the first demon lords. They are the highest ranking creatures within Anelom's hierarchy, right behind the King of Demons. In addition to their status, the archdemons were each grafted with special powers that fit a niche role within their legions.

Characteristics
As a higher class of demon, the archdemons are powerful creatures originally crafted from mortal souls, divine essence, and the power of Anephet. Since they were the direct creations of Thyrus himself, the archdemons are incredibly powerful demons that have special powers of their own. They are the first of the demons, existing since before even the first generation of Demon Lords.

Should the Demon King perish, the next is expected to be chosen from the ranks of the archdemons or created by them. While they don't control regions of Anelom themselves, they each have their own territory and powerbase, often larger or just more powerful than that of Demon Lords.

Powers & Abilities

 * Superhuman Physiology: Archdemons possess incredible levels of strength, stamina, senses, and speed that outmatch other beings significantly, including most angels. While a mere glance, they can detect the presence of lesser creatures and identify them.
 * Possession: Archdemons can turn their essence into an incorporeal form, allowing them to enter the body of another and either dominate the resident soul or linger within undetected until their time is right. They can also use this to influence others by injecting a portion of their essence into their target.
 * Telekinesis: Archdemons can manipulate people and objects around them by using their mind or with a simple hand gesture.
 * Immortality: Archdemons are unaffected by the passages of time and are immune to disease and has the potential to live forever unless killed through sufficient power. They are much more resist to vulnerabilities that plague demons and immune to most ways at harming demonic creatures.
 * Teleportation: When within either Anelom or territory claimed by demons, archdemons are able to teleport instantly from one place to another.
 * Pyrokinesis: Archdemons can generate and manipulate a powerful form of fire capable of incinerating their targets easily and melting even highly resistant materials into slag.

Weaknesses

 * Higher Beings: While they are typically superior to that of most mortal creatures, the archdemons are vulnerable to entities such as gods, dragons, and higher angels like seraphim.
 * Divinity: Beings who possess divine weapons or have been gifted divinity can kill an archdemon without further aid.
