The Belial Clan is one of the remaining 32 Devil Clans of the 72 Pillars and one of the lowest-ranking Devil families; among the less wealthy aristocracy. The current Lord is Diehauser's father who became the Lord again due to his son being stripped of the rank.
Summary[]
The clan that produced the strongest player in the Rating Game, members of the Belial clan are noted for their signature power called Worthless. The ancestors from the previous few generations were unknown people who made constant errors in the Great War of the Three Factions as well as during the Devil Civil War of the old government, causing the strength and authority of the clan to continuously decline. The Belial family faced financial difficulties but managed to just scrape by until Diehauser's success in the Rating Games finally solved this difficulty as his continuous victories in Rating Games allowed him to promote products made in the Belial domain and increase the wealth of the Belial family.
Members of the Belial clan could be compared to the Gremory clan for their affection to others around them, though less immense. The members take good care of their family and the citizens within the Belial's territory, despite their standard of living being in a poor state. The territory of the Belial clan is not particularly prosperous although the citizens do not face difficult lives. Tax received from the citizens is quite low: being one of the reasons for the clan's low ranking, which caused them to be ridiculed by some of the elite.
Powers[]
Members of the clan possess the ability known as Worthless, which allows them to nullify both offensive and defensive abilities, so long as they understand the properties of the ability.
Members[]
The only known members of the clan are Diehauser, Cleria, Lord Belial, Calfa Belial, and Diehauser's uncle and grandfather.
