In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Dispater is an Arch-Devil of Hell (Baator in later editions of the game), and the Lord of the Iron City of Dis.
Dispater was one of the few arch-devils that retained his position after the Reckoning of Hell. Dispater is lord of Dis, the Second Plane of Hell.
Dispater is evilly handsome, and looks human except for his small horns, tail, and cloven left hoof. He has a rod which acts as both a rod of rulership and a staff of striking that deals double normall damage.

In first edition Dungeons & Dragons, this was the hierarchy of Dispater:
