Death Death is Satan's son and grandson, the result of an incestuous union between Satan and his daughter, Sin. Death has also had a relationship with Sin, producing the hellhounds that are at her side. Death is primarily an allegorical character. He is a shadowy figure with a ravenous appetite. He and Sin build a great bridge from Hell to Earth after Adam's and Eve's fall. God says that both Death and Sin will be sealed in Hell after Judgment Day.
Sin The daughter of Satan who sprang from his head when he felt envy for the Son. She is beautiful to the waist but a hideous serpent beneath, with hellhounds that surround her and go in and out of her womb. The hounds are a product of her incestuous relationship with her son, Death, who was the product of a relationship with her father, Satan. In much of Paradise Lost, Sin is an allegorical character. She opens the Gate of Hell for Satan to leave. She and Death build a bridge to Earth and inhabit the world after Satan causes the Fall of Man. Eventually Sin and Death will be sealed in Hell.
Beelzebub The devil second in rank to Satan. In the Bible, the name Beelzebub seems most likely to have been associated with the term "Lord of the Flies," the demon who drove flies away from sacrifices. Numerous theories exist but none are definitive or widely accepted. At best, the name Beelzebub exists in the Bible and is associated with Satan and evil. Milton's audience would have recognized Beelzebub as a demon, even if they probably knew little or nothing of his origins. He acts as Satan's mouthpiece in Book II.
Belial In the Bible, Belial is a synonym for the devil or an adjective meaning wickedness or destruction. Milton presents him as an individual demon representing impurity. He argues cunningly and effectively for taking no action and is associated with "ignoble ease" (II, 227).
Mammon In the Bible, Mammon is often presented as a king or demon who is the personification of wealth. In Paradise Lost, he is called the "least erected" of the fallen angels because he always has his eyes downward looking for gold or money. In the council, he proposes exploiting the wealth of Hell to create a comfortable existence rather than warring against God.
Moloch Moloch was an idolatrous deity worshipped by some Israelites. The chief feature of his cult seems to have been child sacrifice. In Paradise Lost, he argues at the council for total war against God. He is neither subtle nor effective in his speech.
Mulciber Fallen angel who is the chief architect for Pandemonium. The character seems to be derived from Hephaestus in Greek mythology.
