Qaf, the Spear That Pierced Heaven and Earth

Not every road in Malfeas leads to another part of the demon city. There are certain paths that pass beneath archways of black nacre and verdigris to emerge upon the slopes of an impossibly vast mountain amidst foliage of jasper, glass and tin. This is Qaf, which has no base and no summit, but instead climbs forever into the Malfean skies. Quendalon

• Gergesenes, the Incandescent Pilgrim (Quendalon)
  Barefoot as a mendicant, wearing the crown of an Emperor, Gergesenes treads the paths of Malfeas as a cyclopean figure forged of white-hot iron. He travels in perpetual pilgrimage to those places in the Demon Realm that have been hallowed by the Yozis. In four of his seven hands he holds relics once borne by the Yozis themselves. When all seven hands are laden thus, his apotheosis will be complete; even Sacheverell, He Who Knows the Shape of Things to Come, cannot fathom what power or understanding he shall gain thereby. Where Gergesenes prays in Creation, a shrine to the Demon Princes arises from the smoldering earth; when he enters an earthly temple, it is consecrated to the Yozis, and lesser demons slip through the cracks in their prison to worship at its altar.

• Iblis, The Tower of Heaven and Hell (Nero's Boot)
  Iblis is the chief seducer of Malfeas, the being entrusted with the snaring of new Infernal Exalted. Though Iblis is never the one to seduce, he is the one who orders the seduction; it is he who designs the snare to imprison a demigod. For once, Iblis was the Keeper of the Games of Divinity, and all pleasant things were his to gift to mortal and to god. Even now, with his diminishment in Hell, does he retain some piece of the Games, and thus knows the secret pleasures of all men. In form, Iblis is a man as tall as the Imperial Manse, but impossibly thin and gaunt, as if he were a stick. He wears a crown of basalt and ivory, and all who gaze in his eyes know the ecstacy and agony of service unto the Yozis.
