History: The full history of Belathauzer is unknown. He has claimed to be an Elder God, but that may simply be a baseless claim (demons are notorious liars, after all). It is more likely that he was one of the deities and demons spawned by the Demogorge after the latter had destroyed most of the original Elder Gods who had degenerated into demons. What is known is that Belathauzer for a time conquered and ruled over part of the Earth in the distant past before being banished through unrevealed means to a hell dimension (presumably by Agamotto, Earth's first Sorcerer Supreme; see Mystic Principalities).
Belathauzer's activities between his initial banishment and the present are unknown, although he apparently became known enough to have his name recorded among the various demons in various religious works (although usually transliterated as "Balthazar").
Recently Belathauzer was contacted by a half-demon sorceress named Vera Gemini, who herself led a group known as the Cult of the Harvester of Eyes. Gemini had a plan which would return Earth to being ruled by demons; as part of this plan she intended to replace key government officials in several nations with demons, ostensibly demons under her control. Belathauzer was the first demon lord she contacted. To this end, she had her cult kidnap a US Air Force General, Tyler Hayward, who was to be Belathauzer's host body.
Ultimately, Gemini and her cult were defeated by Earth's current Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange, and several of his allies, including Clea and a former assassin for the cult, a man known as the Devil-Slayer. Belathauzer's whereabouts following Gemini's defeat, however, is unknown; presumably he remains in his position of power inside the US Air Force, but that is unconfirmed.
Age: Indeterminate (true form); 53 (General Hayward).
Height: 8' 10" (true form); 5' 9" (General Hayward).
Weight: 3,375 lbs (true form, estimated); 195 lbs (General Hayward).
Eyes: Gold, glowing (true form); brown (General Hayward).
Hair: None (true form); black with gray streaks (General Hayward).
Skin: Orange-yellow (true form); normal human skin tone (General Hayward).
Other Distinguishing Features: In his normal form, Belathauzer possesses two faces on his head, and a row of horns above both sets of eyes. His hands and feet end in claws.
Uniform: None; as General Hayward, wears the standard US Air Force dress uniform.
Strength Level: Belathauzer possesses superhuman strength enabling him to lift (press) over 200 tons on a regular basis.
Known Superhuman Powers: In addition to his superhuman strength, Belathauzer possesses many traits inherent to his being a demon. First, he is superhumanly durable and practically immune to fire, as well as being immune to all mundane terrestrial diseases, poisons, and similar metabolic hazards. He heals much more rapidly from injury than normal, and can regrow his limbs if they are severed. As a demon, he is essentially unkillable; destroying his physical form will merely banish him back to his hell dimension.
In addition, he is able to produce and control fire. He usually generates this fire through his hands and mouths, but has occasionally generated intense flame with a gesture. He can also see clearly through smoke and in pitch darkness.
Belathauzer is also able to physically possess human (and presumably other mortal) beings, gaining full access to his mortal host's knowledge and memories enabling him to pass nearly unnoticed in his host's life.
Allies: Belathauzer commands a horde of lesser demons native to the hell dimension he rules.

Design Notes:
1. No TL adjustments were given for two reasons. First, Belathauzer has possessed a human Air Force general, giving him the knowledge to use modern skills without penalty. Secondly, it's near impossible for me to figure out a Tech Level for the various hell dimensions. Way I see it, the demon lords have kept up with modern times, although some lesser demons (the foot soldiers) have not.
