Baal is a big, powerful, and bold young demon who is one of the 13 Crowns, known as the "Thunder Emperor." He stands out because he is both a mastermind behind chaos and a key enemy to the heroes. Baal wants to bring the demon world back to its wild old days, and he secretly works to destroy its current peaceful order. He has close but complicated ties with characters like Sabro Sabnock and Kiriwo Amy, and is secretly planning to use even the Demon King Delkira for his own goals.
Baal is a tall and strong young man. Among the 13 Crowns, he looks younger than many. He gives off the vibe of a tough warrior and is known for handling the southern demons.
Baal has an arrogant and fearless attitude. He is not afraid to speak his mind, even to his superiors, and always acts with great confidence. He is unhappy with the current peaceful demon world and longs for the days of chaos and conflict. Brave, bold, and sometimes blunt, Baal has no problem acting on his ambitions and shaking things up.
Even though he acts tough and rude, he pays special attention to Kiriwo Amy and wants to guide him, sometimes yelling but often giving him things or advice. When it comes to his family, he can be sharp, showing he has personal boundaries.
Baal is one of the 13 Crowns, the high-ranking rulers of the demon world, and is called the "Thunder Emperor." As a graduate of Babyls Demon School, he was part of the Magic Tool Research Club, where he met Kiriwo Amy. He is the younger brother of Sabnock Sabzan and the uncle of Sabro Sabnock and Silvia Sabnock, though Sabro says they are not true brothers by blood.
He leads the southern demons, showing his status as a fierce general. Secretly, Baal works to bring back chaos to the demon world by plotting to overthrow the current order.
Baal’s family magic is unknown. He is a strong fighter and leader with impressive magical skills. He also has a sharp mind, able to organize complex schemes and use others to achieve his plans.
Official sources confirm he also holds the "Ancestor Return" bloodline, showing he is even more powerful than he seems, though he shows no outward signs of this in the main story.
- Kiriwo Amy: Baal became friends with Kiriwo Amy during school, taking a special interest in him because of his strong "Ancestor Return" blood. He acts as a guardian, sometimes angry, but still helps Kiriwo with gifts and information.
- Sabnock Sabzan: Baal’s older (adoptive) brother, although not blood-related. They share a tense relationship, especially over family matters and Baal’s approach to chaos.
- Sabro and Silvia Sabnock: Baal is their uncle. He supports Sabro’s goal to become Demon King but wants him to do it the right way.
- Ocho: His loyal servant and agent, who helps him spy and carry out secret missions.
- Delkira: Baal wants to revive the former Demon King Delkira and steal his power.
- Iruma Suzuki: Baal sees Iruma as a target and tries to capture or use him for his plans.
- Princess Shura: After Baal saves her (in a plot he staged himself), Shura becomes very attached to him, inviting him to tea often and giving him gifts. Baal uses her affection, but also treats her with rare respect.
