Asmodel is the King-Angel of the Bull-Host.
History
At some point, he was held captive by A.R.G.U.S. until he was freed by Vibe and Dale Gunn.[1]
Asmodel later fell under the spell of the Sheeda Queen, one of many beings seeking to control the crack in the Multiverse. They followed the crack to the chaos beyond Hell, where Asmodel battled Darkseid for control of the crack. Justice League Incarnate also followed the crack and Doctor Multiverse scattered the crack and the team to random locations in the Multiverse to keep it out of both of the cosmic titan's hands, until the god of evil killed Asmodel with his own weapon.[2]
