History

One day, King Arthur brought back to Camelot a wounded knight Beliar they had found in the forest and recovered with the help of Merlin. Beliar was invited to stay but began to repeatedly challenge Merlin, who was suspicious of him. Beliar tried to seduce Guinevere and nearly killed Sir Lancelot in a jousting match. Eventually, Arthur realized that Belial posed a threat to Camelot and expelled him, but he kidnapped Guinevere. Arthur and Merlin follow Belial's trail into an underground cave, where they meet Belial's father, the great Demon Asmodiar. Demons force a fight between Arthur and Beliar, but when Arthur's abilities proved superior, Asmodiar amplified his son's powers until Arthur was at his mercy. Merlin used his powers against the demons, but found it a losing battle. Merlin took the form of Beliar, caught Asmodiar by surprise, and behead him. He continued taunting them even after his decapitation.
