Diavolo
"The only child of The Demon King and the most powerful being in the Devildom. He is also president of the RAD student council."— Diavolo's Student ID
Diavolo is a demon whose first appearance in Obey Me!'s Main Story and Nightbringer's Main Story was in Lesson 1-1. He is next in line to rule the Devildom after his father, the Demon King. While he is considered a side character in both Obey Me! and Nightbringer, Diavolo was added to Obey Me!'s Intimacy system in December of 2020 as part of the Happy Devil Day celebration. In the later released Nightbringer, he is part of the Intimacy system from the start.
Appearance[edit source]
Diavolo has short, layered hair with bangs and a part on the right side. In his humanoid form, his hair is auburn red, but the color turns a more saturated venetian red in his demon form. His skin color too changes from beige in his humanoid form to a darker taupe tone in his demon form. His eyes are a gradient of sunshine yellow (ironically) and pale yellow, and his nails are painted black.
As seen in the official height chart, Diavolo is the tallest of the side characters, and is also taller than Lucifer.
RAD Uniform
Diavolo's RAD Uniform is similar in style to the standard uniform, however reverses the typical colors of the charcoal grey jacket and red shoulder cape, so that instead his jacket is red and the shoulder cape is charcoal grey. The jacket is also much longer than the standard uniform, and reaches past his knees.
The gold accents of the typical uniform remain, though the ribbon on his right shoulder is blue and white instead of red and white. His pants are still charcoal grey with red stripes along the sides. His belt is completely red, rather than the standard charcoal grey with a red border.
The shirt he wears beneath his jacket is also charcoal grey instead of teal, which he has paired with a white tie. His leather shoes are the standard charcoal grey.

Diavolo's demon look was first revealed in Lesson 8-8 of Obey Me!'s Main Story, and is his standard appearance in Nightbringer. In this form, Diavolo has a pair of horns with a segmented pattern, and are a gradient of blood red and black. The horns grow outward from behind Diavolo's head before curving such that the tips point inward towards his face. The end points of the horns are covered in gold-colored metal decorations.
Diavolo also has two pairs of bat-like wings, and similar to his horns, are blood red at their bases that fades to black once reaching mid-wing. The "thumbs" of each wing ends in a large spike that has similar gold decorations to Diavolo's horns.
In addition to Diavolo's skin tone darkening and his hair becoming a more saturated red, there are also black, looping markings that appear on Diavolo's chest and back in his demon form, as well as gold-colored markings on each of Diavolo's wrists and forearms, which are similar in appearance to bracers.
Diavolo's outfit when in demon form consists of a wide, decorative black and gold choker with gold accents, connected to a gold chain that runs down the middle of both his chest and back before wrapping around to connect at his sides. The gold chain also connects in front of his chest to a jeweled pendant and several pairs of decorative gold, bat-like wings that join the ends of a black fur stole. He wears a black skirt with gold lining, gold triangle decorations, and gold chains that drape around his waist with connected jeweled pendants. A white and gold cloth drapes over the skirt's front, beneath which are a pair of white pants. He wears black knee-high boots with gold accents and gold soles.

Diavolo was first seen in his Human World look in Lesson 47-9 of Obey Me!'s Main Story. The outfit consists of a black, collared shirt under a gunmetal grey, single-breasted suit jacket with two black buttons on the center front. The notched lapels have a striped pattern of gunmetal grey and onyx grey. Draped over his shoulders like a cape, Diavolo wears a wine red coat with an onyx grey and granite grey houndstooth patterned lining.
The pants of his suit are the same gunmetal grey as the jacket, and his shoes are black with wine red laces. The tie he wears is also wine red, and has a gold tie clip attached. On his left wrist, Diavolo wears a silver and gold watch that — according to Beelzebub in Issue 8 of the RAD Newspaper — is as expensive as 100 years' worth of roast Roc.

Despite being one of the most powerful demons in the Devildom as well as the Future King, Diavolo takes on a surprisingly fair and compassionate, if not joyous, attitude at almost all times. However, that is not to say he is a soft or lenient ruler, as even without the threat of retribution from Lucifer, all demons appear respectfully intimidated by him.
Diavolo proves to have much more wisdom than his cheerful demeanor suggests. He shows moments of solemn clarity in which he correctly predicts events that will occur in the future either due to his subtle encouragement or his intentional lack of intervention. He has the ability to tell if someone is telling the truth and has made a rule for himself to never tell a lie.
The goals that Diavolo sets for himself, his fellow demons, and the three worlds at large, appear to be pursued with the utmost best intentions. This is evidenced by the fact that so far he has only ever done what he believes is best, with the desire to improve the lives of those he rules over, even if the process is painful.
Sometimes Diavolo may take statements literally. An example of this occurs in the chat A Task Meant for Levi when Leviathan says that he would "kill" for a new piece of technology to mess with. Diavolo shows great concern for Leviathan's mental state and Leviathan has to clarify that he is not actually having violent urges.
In the chat, Wakeup Shakeup 2, Diavolo mentions that he considers the hour within someone has woken up to be "right after" they wake up. If MC disagrees, Diavolo is delighted, and wonders if it is a difference between demons and humans or if they simply don't see eye to eye. He thinks that the small differences between species (or individuals) are fascinating.

Powers and Abilities[edit source]
Diavolo is the heir to the Devildom throne and one of the most powerful beings in the Devildom. As such, he possesses unique and impressive abilities. In Lesson 4, Satan explains that Diavolo has the ability to "discern whether someone is telling the truth." Diavolo uses this ability to confirm MC was not lying to Leviathan during the TSL Trivia Showdown. He also uses this ability in the Devilgram The Glory Days in order to successfully navigate a conversation with the at the time distrustful Archangel Lucifer.
Another example of Diavolo's immense power is shown in Lesson 14. After the Great Celestial War, Lucifer fell into the Devildom and upon arrival, he demanded Diavolo save a wounded Lilith's life, knowing he had the means to do so. Diavolo reincarnated Lilith's soul as a human, and sent her to the Human World to live out the rest of her life.
In Lesson 40-15, with only a snap of his fingers, Diavolo was able to teleport himself, all seven brothers, Barbatos, Luke, Simeon, Solomon, and MC from the House of Lamentation to The Fall.
As Lucifer stated in the Pop Quiz The Final Countdown, only Diavolo is a powerful enough demon to be able to stop time itself, which is exactly what he does in that event. Other than those Diavolo chooses to be exempt, the stopping of time results in everyone being stuck frozen in place, and also causes electronics like D.D.D.'s and televisions to stop working.
In the chat Tales of Heroism, Diavolo mentions speaking with a dragon, which may indicate that he has the ability to communicate with magical creatures.
In the Pop Quiz Calling out to You, Diavolo is shown to have the ability to trap people inside objects. Lucifer specifically mentions that it would take a very crafty person to pull that off. In the Devilgram The Ghost Ship, it's mentioned that Diavolo also has the ability to seal objects inside of other objects. Diavolo had sealed a ghost ship called the Carouche inside a glass bottle. If the seal is broken, such as if the bottle is shattered, the ghost ship returns to the Human World.
In the Pop Quiz Sun, Sea, and Demons, it is revealed that Diavolo owns a private beach which has its own artificial sun. Diavolo created the sun with his magic, as well as the beach itself. As he demonstrated in the Devilgram Diavolo the Otaku, he is also able to temporarily light up the area around him as if it were day.
Diavolo is capable of transforming objects with magic, as he was able to turn a lion doll into a sheep plushie in the Devilgram Diavolo the Otaku.
Summoning meteor showers at will is also something Diavolo is able to do, as mentioned in the Pop Quiz A Star for You, and demonstrated in the Devilgram Special Star Candies.
Story[edit source]
Background[edit source]
As he tells MC in Lesson 56, Diavolo grew up very sheltered and isolated. His mother died after giving birth to him, and his father was always very strict with him. He never had the chance to speak to anyone outside the castle until he met Barbatos. After meeting him, Barbatos began to tell Diavolo stories about the outside world, which he liked so much that he asked Barbatos to stay with him. Although this was always refused by Barbatos, Diavolo never gave up. Eventually, he convinced Barbatos to stay by telling him that he would not become the Future King of the Devildom otherwise.
Little is known about Diavolo's past, but his goal has always been to build a better relationship between the three realms. He had met Lucifer when he was an angel in the past and was quite courteous towards him, despite the high ranking angel's contempt for him.
After the Great Celestial War, when the brothers fell from grace, he and Barbatos appeared before Lucifer and a dying Lilith in an area which would later be RAD's colosseum. At Lucifer's request, he would save Lilith, but in return for the risk of interfering with the Celestial Realm's judgment, Lucifer would have to pledge his loyalty to Diavolo. Lucifer agreed, and Diavolo had Lilith's soul reincarnated as a human.
Although his father, The Demon King, is still alive, he has no interest in the affairs of the three worlds. He allows Diavolo full reign over the Devildom, choosing instead to sleep at the bottom of the Devildom.
As a result, it is taken as truth that Diavolo will be crowned as the Future King of the Devildom. As such, Diavolo has begun strengthening the Devildom's relationship with both the Human World and the Celestial Realm through the exchange program, as he believes that the three worlds should live harmoniously with each other.

Main Character[edit source]
During Lesson 56, Diavolo has a deep conversation with MC about his childhood: about the death of his mother, how he grew up isolated from the rest of the world, and the story of how he met Barbatos. Whether the other characters know about these things is currently unknown, but telling them to MC signifies just how much he trusts them.
Lucifer[edit source]
Diavolo places great trust in Lucifer, considering him his right hand man and also his closest friend. The two of them often spend time together, drinking tea or discussing important matters. Diavolo often drags Lucifer along with his plans, and seems to enjoy teasing him on occasions, like using the chat stickers Lucifer told everyone to stop sending as he finds them distasteful. He worries for Lucifer a lot, going as far as keeping secrets from Lucifer in order to protect his feelings, even though his decision is disapproved by both Barbatos and Simeon. Once the truth is revealed, it has a negative effect on their friendship, as Lucifer puts some distance between them. Diavolo tries to patch it up by giving gifts to Lucifer and even asking MC for advice on what he should do to earn his friend's trust back.
Barbatos mentions in one of his home screen dialogues that Lucifer is like family to Lord Diavolo. In the chat Hello (Diavolo), he explains sending MC the wrong sticker by saying Lucifer is the only demon who sends him messages.
There is a folder on his computer named after Lucifer, as stated in the event Welcome to the Bunny Show. The folder contains photos of Lucifer that Diavolo took, which Lucifer gave permission for him to both take and keep after Diavolo begged him to do so, as Lucifer tells MC in the chat The Pictures Diavolo Took.
