A major demon, Beelzebub often appears in the form of gigantic fly.
History
During the time when Hell was ruled by a triumvirate, Beelzebub was one of the three ruling lords along with Lucifer and Belial (or sometimes Azazel instead of Belial). It is his Duke Choronzon that has Morpheus's dream helm and who is defeated by Morpheus.
Beelzebub was responsible for transforming Gaius Marcus and Anton Arcane into demons.
After Lucifer abandoned Hell, Beelzebub took humanoid form and sought death in a meeting with Kid Eternity. While he appeared to perish, he has later resurfaced.
He had a servant named Major Domo.
