Asmodeus is a minor antagonist in Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light.

Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Before the events of the game, Asmodeus wiped out nearly all of the Moon Folk in their battle to seal him. Asmodeus arrived in the Kingdom of Guera and disguised himself as the King. He sent Krinjh, the last of the Moon Folk, to bring a Great Tree Seedling from Arbor ostensibly to make Guera a fertile land.

After Krinjh returned with the seedling and his elf lover Ariadne, Asmodeus ordered him to the Moonlight Tower and attempted to murder him with a horde of monsters. Krinjh barely survived, and Asmodeus took Ariadne to the Quicksand Castle to turn her against Krinjh and corrupt the seedling. Ariadne became the Sand Devil and trapped the people of Guera in their city. Asmodeus then banned the use of water magic, as water was her weakness in that form.

Fifteen years later, the party meets Asmodeus as King Guera after Krinjh leads them to Guera. Brandt and Yunita ask for King Guera's help to save Horne, and he agrees in exchange for defeating the Sand Devil. They succeed, and both Ariadne and Krinjh disappear into moonlight. On their return, Asmodeus shuts himself away rather than adhering to the deal. Brandt and then Yunita leave to pursue other avenues of aid.

After being sent decades into the past, the party arrives at Guera during Asmodeus's corruption of the seedling. They help Krinjh fight the monsters at the Moonlight Tower and then rush to the Quicksand Castle to interrupt Asmodeus' lies to Ariadne. Asmodeus attacks them, but they use the Merkmal to expose his true form and defeat him. With Asmodeus destroyed, Krinjh and Ariadne become the King and Queen of Guera and lead the nation to peace. Later, Asmodeus is revived within the Star Chamber, but he is defeated once more.

Spoilers end here.

Etymology

Like the other major demons in the game, Asmodeus refers to one of the seven princes of Hell in demonology. [view · edit · purge]Asmodeus is a king of demons known from the deutero-canonical Book of Tobit, in which he is the primary antagonist. The demon is also mentioned in some Talmudic legends. He was supposed by some Renaissance Christians to be the King of the Nine Hells. Asmodeus is referred to as one of the seven princes of Hell, and in Binsfeld's classification of demons, each prince represents one of the seven deadly sins. Asmodeus is the demon of lust.

-Before the events of the game, Asmodeus arrived in the Kingdom of Guera and disguised himself as King Guera. Asmodeus had sent [[Krinjh]] to the Kingdom of [[Arbor]] in order to get a seedling from the Great Tree to better their country. Upon Krinjh's return, with [[Ariadne]], Asmodeus ordered him to return to Moonlight Tower.

-While Krinjh was at the tower, barely surviving the horde of monsters he placed there to kill the human off, Asmodeus takes Ariadne to Quicksand Castle to manipulate her thoughts about Krinjh and corrupt the seedling. Asmodeus managed to succeed in his plan, using the seedling for evil purposes and causing Ariadne to become the Sand Devil.
+After Krinjh returned with the seedling and his elf lover [[Ariadne (The 4 Heroes of Light)|Ariadne]], Asmodeus ordered him to the [[Moonlight Tower]] and attempted to murder him with a horde of monsters. Krinjh barely survived, and Asmodeus took Ariadne to the [[Quicksand Castle]] to turn her against Krinjh and corrupt the seedling.

-Fifteen years later, the party first meets Asmodeus as King Guera after they manage to find their way to Guera. [[Brandt]] and [[Yunita]] ask for King Guera's help to save Horne, he decides to help them if only they rid him of the Sand Devil. After the defeat of the Sand Demon, who was actually Ariadne, Krinjh tells the party to go the magical land of Arbor, the guard on Guera Palace tells the party to go to the Inn if attempting to enter, Brandt wakes up before Yunita and goes outside and a cat (who he doesn't know is [[Aire]]) shows him a map of the world, the map reminds him when Krinjh tells them to go to Arbor, Brandt decides to go by himself, but Aire joined him.

The party then goes to Quicksand Castle to stop Asmodeus from his corruption of Ariadne, the group uses the Merkmal to force the fiend into his true form. When successfully defeated, Krinjh and Ariadne become the rulers of Guera, leading the nation to peace. Later, Asmodeus is revived within the Star Chamber, but he is defeated once more.
