'''Unofficial Summary:''' Moloch was the Duke of {{5ed|Malbolge}}, serving {{5ed|Asmodeus}} in the {{5ed|Nine Hells}}. His primary advisor was {{5ed|Malagard}} (a {{SRD5|Night Hag}}), who encouraged him to attempt a coup against Asmodeus. The coup failed and he was stripped of his title, power, and was condemned to death (only just barely escaping to another plane). He now seeks the means to return to the Nine Hells and win back Malbolge from {{5ed|Glasya}}.
