Baalrabsheol is regarded by devil-worshipers as the overlord of hell. He is the most powerful archdevil to whom the other ruling devils give homage and obedience. His name is a Hebrew port that means literally "Chief Lord of Hell". As with other archedevils, Baalrabsheol's power only approaches that of the gods. Baalrabsheol's cult is generally kept hidden in the World of Asdar as devil cults are condemned by most good divinities and by the higher religions such as Arathracianism and Incarnandism. In modern times, most courts have ruled that true devil-worship is not the same as the worship of chaos gods. It appears that diabolists are intentionally secretive about their devotions and their numbers are unknown to the authorities.

Baalrabsheol is depicted as a horned and hoofed man with a dark beard, horns, and goat-like legs. He wields a scepter and bears a crown.
