Zestial

"We know not how this perished. Mayhaps t'was not by a demon's hand at all. If we rush to war without knowing mightn't they purge all of Hell for daring an uprising?"

- Zestial, to Velvette regarding proposing to fight against Heaven

Zestial is a demon and one of the many powerful Overlords of Hell. Zestial appears to be the oldest of all Overlords, whether by age or how long he has reigned is unclear.

Appearance
Zestial is a spider-like demon, towering above the inhabitants of Hell, being distinguished by his imposing stature and the enigmatic elegance with which he carries himself. Zestial adopts an attire befitting a refined gentleman of the underworld. The pitch-black cloak veils most of his lower body, contributing to an air of mystery.

Zestial can unfurl his cloak with a quick sweep, revealing a spectral countenance adorned with a pair of radiant red eyes while his grin starts to glow. Zestial also exhibits four elongated arms extending across the expanse of his cloak, each hand positioned at the cloak's extremities.

At the forefront, eight smaller spider legs emerge in a symmetrical arrangement, mimicking the form of a giant arachnid. A distinctive feature of Zestial's design is a big black top hat adorned with a small human skull on its left side, adding an extra touch of sophistication to his ensemble.

Zestial's palette has vivid hues reminiscent of corrosive acids and venomous substances, infused with arachnid references.

Personality
Zestial speaks in an old English dialect. He has a very sophisticated way of speaking, and often keeps his temper rather than get easily frustrated, as the case when Velvette mocks him. Though he is shown to be somewhat petty, loudly sipping his tea to cut Velvette off mid-sentence before insulting her.

His reputation is such that demons other than his fellow Overlords are terrified of him, hiding or cowering whenever he passes by. The sight of him causes one civilian to set himself on fire out of fear.

Befitting his advanced age, Zestial is extremely patient and cautious, telling Velvette they shouldn't take immediate action in spite of being given proof that Exorcists can be killed out of fear of the potential repercussions.

He is also shown to be rather compassionate to those he is close to, sensing something was bothering Carmilla and offering her an ear to vent her concerns and problems to.
