Belyllioth is a high ranking demon General living in Tartarus, a fiery portion of the Underworld Hades.
History
This area is ruled by Dalkriig-Hath. Wonder Woman travels to Tartarus for her fellow Amazon sister Artemis, Belyllioth attempted to capture her. When she fails and Dalkriig-Hath tortures as an example to the other demons. Dalkriig-Hath's takes Artemis as a new bride.
While watching, Wonder Woman stops the torture but was then attacked by the other demons. Artemis joins the battle and frees the demon from her restraints, and she attacks the other demons with the help of her loyal Myrmidons. Belyllioth thankful for the Amazons help held back the demons so they could escape.
Belyllioth then went into hiding so she had time to build up an opposing army of Demons, preparing to get revenge. It was not until month later that she learned that Artemis had killed Dalkriig-Hath on the mortal plain. She thanked the Amazon and then attempted to take his position in Hell. Artemis requested that she release the five deceased members of the Hellenders who had died battling Dalkriig-Hath. She granted her request and returned them to the world of the living.
Keeping her position in hell was tough when the other twelve Princes of Hell discovered that Dalkriig-Hath had been killed, they each tried to take the land for themselves. Artemis being the widow of Dalkriig-Hath had the rightful claim of the throne, so Belyllioth traveled to Themyscira to ask her for help. She agrees but does not wish the throne for herself.
Belyllioth takes on the form of Artemis and meets with the twelve Princes of Hell demanding that she be allowed rule. They accepted and recognized her rights to the title of the thirteenth Prince of Hell. After the ceremony was ended Belyllioth revealed her true form. It was to late and they were forced to allow her to keep the position. However they warn Artemis from ever entering Hell ever again. Bellyioth now considers Artemis a friend and allies and promises to protect her.
