}}'''Zariel''' is a fallen angel and the archdevil ruler of [[Avernus]], the first layer of the Nine Hells. As such, she's a key player in the Blood War. [[Tiefling#Zariel Tieflings|Zariel Tieflings]] descend from bloodlines affected by Zariel, and [[Karlach]] (an [[Origin]]) has freshly escaped her grasp.


Zariel did not appear in the game's [[Early Access]], but her presence was still felt through various underlings. [[Commander Zhalk]] mentions her when threatening his minions, and a group of fallen Paladins in Zariel's service can be found hunting Karlach.
