Description

Approximately of human height, Titivilus has pale skin, goatlike legs covered in black fur, a pair of small black wings, and two small black horns sprouting from his forehead. Despite this, those who observe him feel an uncanny sense of kinship.

He has the ability to spew a torrent of blasphemous words that corrupt those who hear them to lawful evil.

Relationships

Titivilus serves Dispater on the second layer of Hell. Dispater places great trust in Titivilus, allowing him to represent his lord in almost every matter. This has caused some to suspect that Titivilus is Dispater in disguise, or that Titivilus has in fact killed and replaced his master. As Dispater's confidante, Titivilus has the ability to rouse the armies of Dis or send pit fiends fleeing in terror. Dispater's paranoia and unwillingness to venture outside his tower means that Titivilus is often tasked with bringing orders to dukes such as Arioch

. Not surprisingly, there are many at Dispater's court who would love to see Titivilus brought down a notch.

The only member of Dispater's court who shows no fear of Titivilus is Arioch, who serves as Dispater's enforcer. Titivilus treats Arioch as his peer, but there is no love lost between the two. Either would destroy the other if given the chance.

Worshipers

The only mortals who revere Titivilus are scribes, theologians, and defrocked priests who work tirelessly to corrupt good-aligned churches with which they are, or were, affiliated.
