[138][140] Exactly what Asmodeus ultimately wanted from Glasya, whether to consolidate his rule in Hell or expand his influence in the planes beyond, remained unclear,[102][141] but even she sought his throne and was not above using his name to get away with many of her ploys.

Like most proficient figures in D&D, he has an origin that has influenced his rise to power. However, the origin myth which appears in v.3.5's Fiendish Codex II: Tyrants of the Nine Hells contradicts this, where Asmodeus is a fallen angel and the original founder of the current, baatezu-dominated Nine Hells during the signing of the Pact Primeval.

[32], Like with the Blood War however, Asmodeus could not become complacent in his position. The more extreme members of the cult, rather than turn to a new religion, might reject the concept altogether, but the greatest success cases for this scheme in Asmodeus's eyes were when they became suicide cults, its members having lost the will to live.

[39] Torture was his tool to break the wills of others and impose his own,[40] and knowledge of secrets and dealings his desired instrument to claim others as his. [130], Even so, their history was long and riddled with conflict, as Glasya remained willfully defiant and disatisfied by his attempts to bring her under control and she brought him no small amount of grief before they came to an understanding. [66] Given the priority he placed on his own security and privacy, he usually remained within his fortress of Malsheem, using others to make his will clear,[32] though the other archdevils were annually called to there.

But Asmodeus stepped in and defeated Zargon once more, not because he cared for the dead gods, but because he did not want the original ruler of Baator free.
