Lord Diomoloch, the Fallen One, a powerful lich I may use as a villainsona/recurring villain for the Geoterra lore. He resides in a stereotypical sinister castle/mausoleum/evil chapel on a hill deep within a cursed necropolis nestled in a cursed forest that is home to innumerable undead monsters--I suppose this region is basically Hades, but if it were possible to visit Hades if your idea of a vacation included haunted forests, graveyards, and probably having your flesh eaten by ghouls while ghosts suck your life force away.

Also, he may or may not be a Lucifer, but that skull clearly came from one regardless of how he got his wicked hands on it... And I haven't decided what, if any, relationship he has to Nekranatos, the Reaper I seem to draw once every other year as I can never seem to settle on a design I like for him. Perhaps Diomoloch was the first (or only) one to be badass enough to try to fight Death himself and actually succeed in defeating him, and was "rewarded" with his lich form as a result? Or, like a lot of other things in-universe I need more time to figure out, I can just sorta blame Diomoloch's existence on Lucifer Dominicus somehow.

As for the name, I combined "Dios" (a Greek root meaning "Zeus", or more loosely, "god") and "Moloch", a demon/diety associated with death and sacrifice--it just seemed fitting, and I like the look and sound of the name, and I could reasonably see it being mispronounced/misheard just poorly enough to sorta fit with the "Lord Dominic" brand I've created for myself the past decade or so.
