In Darkstalkers lore, Belial is the adoptive father of Morrigan, a young succubus. He is also responsible for separating Lilith (Morrigan's lighthearted half) from Morrigan Aensland and sealing her off in a different realm [1], Belial has been mentioned and appeared in Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge The Animated Series as well as UDON's Darkstalkers and Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors series.
About
Belial is the only S+ class supernatural being[2] from Makai and is referred to as the ruler of Makai[2] Once head of the Aensland noble family, his ancestry spans back to the original ruler of the realm, Zeruru Aensland.[3] He has never used his power for evil and thinks of the people who serve him, nor did he desire to control others with in in a iron first, this is because of his standards towards others, that he had considered himself and the people of the realm as part of his family. He has four arms and four eyes, with two of these eyes placed on the palms of his hands, and his height reaches over 656 ft (200 m) tall.[2] Being an S+ class supernatural being, Belial has magic far greater than[2] class D supernatural beings.
At one point in time, Belial had fought Demitri Maximoff to stop his evil and his desire for power, Belial exiled Demitri from Makai to the human world for his evil.[4] After the events of Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, Belial becomes weaker and fades away (due to Dohma's actions behind his back as he did not see him worthy of ruling the realm of Makai because of his compassion), leaving Morrigan as the ruler of the Aensland kingdom.[5]
Morrigan and Lilith
When Belial found Morrigan as a baby and took her in as her foster child after her real parents where murdered by an immoral person, he extracted some of the positive aspects of her soul, and sealed part of it away. He was worried that she may not be able to control the large amounts of herself and that it could lead to her ruin as well as Makai. 300 years later, the separated energy became a soul of its own due to Jedah Dohma as he saw Morrigan grow in Makai from the shadows. During the events of Darkstalkers 3, Jedah took notice of this soul, and created a a body for the form, known as Lilith. After the events of Vampire Savior, Lilith has united with Morrigan into one single being and had become more heroic, very similar to that of Belial.
