(And Zimmer's cross-dressing)
Background:
One of the Infernal Hierarchy's prominent princes, Asmodeus ranked in 9th in the succession of power, with the First being His Abyssal Sublimity, Prince Lucifer.
Lust is the embodiment Asmodeus is charge over, but it is not sexual/passionate lust. It is the lust for power that has consumed men and nations for time. This vice even drives Asmodeus towards his own destruction, as it is liken to a disease which devours everything in a being.
Trained rigorously at something like a royal academy under the tutelage of Prince Beelzebub and Lord Uvall, Asmodeus was groomed to be one of the higher ranking princes, despite his conflicts with the headmasters of the academy, Headmaster Apollyon and Second Headmaster WormWood. Headmaster Apollyon was far more lenient to Asmodeus' caprice than Second Headmaster WormWood was. This was due to the fact, Apollyon and Prince Beelzebub were thick companions during their past years, while WormWood resented Beelzebub's royal status and disliked his methods for mortal/eternal damnation.
Formerly a Shining One from the Sacred Height, Asmodeus' former name is unknown, or rather, when he cast out, he lost the majority of his memory of being a Shining One, including his name.
In the Sacred Height hierarchy, his former position was that of the Restorer or Mender. His positional abilities entailed healing of illnesses, repairing or "restoring" broken spirits/souls, and "restoring" famine ravaged lands to an excellent verdure.
However, as dilligent as he was in the Sacred Height, a thin crack was in him-figuratively speaking- that led to his banishment. Because of man's natural sinful nature, his flaws, his impudence at the Maker, his rebellion, his base, vile nature, and the fact that man was wrought from dirt and mud, repulsed Asmodeus. He could not reconcile how such loathsome creatures, such powerless animals were even worthy of the Maker's attention, let alone His Love and Forgiveness.
It angered Asmodeus that man could be forgiven and reconciled with the Maker, while the Shining Ones, creatures born of spirit and divine power, were denied reconciliation with the Maker or could be given the chance to have a new birth.
The anger soon grew to wrath and hate for man, and this hate ate at Asmodeus like a worn devouring a fruit from the inside out. His hate turned into rebellion, and like Prince Lucifer and his lot, Asmodeus sought to overthrow the Maker and reign to punish mankind for its baseness and sins, and deny them any chance at forgiveness and redemption. But just as Lucifer and his lot stood no chance of success and were cast out, so was Asmodeus.
He was stripped of his title and power and banished from the Sacred Height to the Abyss.
The hate and wrath for man still remained as intense in Asmodeus, and he was rendered a Dark Prince and given the rank and powers the exact, diametric opposite of his former position and powers.
Rising to prominence in the Infernal Hierarchy, Asmodeus was the type of young handsome beings who show great wit, and earn a high command too quickly.
During a battle withe the Sacred Heights, Asmodeus, in his pride and vanity, had led an attack, but failed in defense in his offense with his multiple companies. It had cost Prince Lucifer the entire battle itself and crippled his army a considerable degree.
In his fury, Prince Lucifer, exiled the brash and headstrong Asmodeus to the world, stripping his powers to a fraction of what their were in the Abyss.
The only demon accompanying Asmodeus was his eccentric valet and manservant, Zimmer.
Asmodeus fond Zimmer useful because the demon's knowledge of mankind and its machination, its culture and other sundry matters due to his former humanity would prove essential if Asmodeus sought to subjugate as many humans as to the best of his limited power.
Asmodeus, had caused death and destruction in the mortal realm before, but now being in the form of a mortal granted him carte blanche to inflict a reign of tyranny and torment he had lusted for all the time he had been a Dark Prince.
It gave him a sense of satisfaction to pain the Maker by afflicting His creations, those lowly creations the Maker gave redemption to when the Maker denied this to the likes of Asmodeus.
Within a decade, he rose from an unknown "mortal" to king of two kingdoms he united as one and other kingdoms he constructed a dominating empire, and continued to conquest other countries to render as his own or else subject them as tributaries or annexed colonies.
Carefully, he selected a small group of both men and demons who banished from the Abyss for a type of chain of command for his military and secret police officials, which would ensure the solidarity of his rule.
One of the powers that remained to his utilization was the ability of human alchemy, or rather the ability to change to form of a being to another, and if possible, even the heart and spirit of that unfortunate being also.
Though he wedded a mortal woman, and sired a son whom he viewed would spread his reign and ultimately use his son's body and mind as a way to increase his own power, his son was the opposite of him.
Achim, his son, inherited all the traits and abilities that he had as a Shining One, even the the degree Achim resembled himself when he was Shining One.
But young ones are mallable, thus Asmodeus was driven to mold his son into vice and cruelty just as he was now. Physical and verbal abuse, manipulation with affection and emotion held no sway on Achim's good nature. If anything, it rendered the lad more virtuous.
Asmodeus then abandoned this futile endeavor and kept his son imprisoned-though not lacking for anything for comfort-in the palace.
However, when Achim learned of his father's true nature, he escaped. Asmodeus made frantic attempts to find him, but ceased when he realized he would find his son anyway and use him for his purpose later in life.
His reign would soon unravel when he made the err of having his army destroy the life of a certain boy in a Northern country...this boy would grow to be the man who would wreck his power-hold and kill his mortal form.

Overall Vision Originality Technique
Impactvery vintage looking. It almost looks like a for real picture from before the Victorian age. Like a reference picture or a guide to what to look out for.
Kind of a hellish soldier and a determination within his eyes. As if he is very skilled at what he is assigned to do.
The colors are great and even the background helps the figure to explode within your imagination.
It instantly reminds me of something from Castlevania, The Video game. I also like the way his eyes seem seductive and other worldly. Like from a feminine want to change and take care of him and want you to love him and in return he will give you love and protection back. As if he could be turned into a anti hero.
Love the coat. The buckles are detailed.
Is his skin supposed to be that white?And the sword or rapier is very unique.
