Duma is the angel of silence and one of the two Guardians of Hell after Lucifer abdicated his throne and gave up the keys to Dream of the Endless.
History
He was sent down with Remiel to govern Hell after Lucifer Morningstar's abdication from the throne. He and Remiel were told of their new position as rulers of Hell by The Presence, but Remiel denied. Since Duma couldn't speak, he retrieved the key and flew down to Hell, upon Lucifer's giving of the key to Dream. Duma was one of the few beings in the universe that Lucifer respects.
