Lord Of Mercy
Current whereabouts are unknown.
The Goons first encountered the Lord of Mercy at The Moth King: Minaris‘s Tea Party, when he arrived rather fashionably late. It is thought that he is one of the heads of the Temple of Nine, however, he may be a Duke of Hell or perhaps even Asmodeus himself. He has also told The Goons to specifically ask for Mr. M if they should ever go to the Temple of Nine and need a favor.
While The Goons are fairly certain that the Lord of Mercy is in fact Asmodeus, it is possible that he is Mephistopheles. If this is true, then he is the second most powerful Fiend in the Nine Hells, second only to the God of Sin himself, Asmodeus. Mephistopheles has a known distinct hate of Asmodeus who uses his powers to make him appear as a lesser version of the God as a form of mockery. For many years prior to the Temple of Nine many people assumed that Mephistopheles was an alternate persona of Asmodeus he used to mislead mortals. Mephistopheles has secretly been behind two of the Brimstone Wars in Baathos and seeks to usurp Asmodeus and claim the Throne of Want in Hell for his own. Because of this Mephistopheles has very little influence in the mortal world, and while his pacts are few they are some of the most impactful, such as Jora Kampfrun and when he nearly had the Ascendants bind Asmodeus during the Long Night.
