Duriel is the angel of Clemency, that is, he is the angel governing the mercy of death. He is of the choir cherubim, which means he has an associated animal: the mongoose. One of his unique and unusual abilities is to sense when someone is near their death, so he can help them along with a quiet dispatch. He calls this ability witnessing the candleflame. As an angel, Duriel spent much of his misbegotten youth as an assassin for the angelic state, working as the captain of their secret police. This didn't turn out particularly well, since the job was terrible, regardless of the fact that Duriel was particularly good at it. Dissatisfaction at the state as well as his employment, Duriel chooses the best possible out: giving up his immortal soul to an unspeakably evil entity. Nice one, Duriel. Duriel spends several thousand years of his existence as a fallen angel and Lord of Hell, when he is generally angry, depressed, frustrated, and an unconscionable alcoholic.
After a creative suicide attempt fails miserably (who knew that the one antarctic expedition he would choose to join would actually make it there and back alive?) Duriel finds he has no choice but to continue living, miserable, bitter, and deeply depressed, his only constant companion a queeny librarian who has Cthulu on speed dial and a tendency to draw blood circles on even the nicest carpet. Have I mentioned that he's recently become reacquainted with his reincarnated wife? Too bad she's still playing seventh form lacrosse at an all girls' school.
Fortunately for him, from this point? It can only get better.
If you'd like to fill yourself in on Duriel's storied history, you can read more about him
here.
Did I mention he was the pope for a while? Yeah, that too.
Duriel is complete as-is. Only the Duriel file is necessary if you'd like to have him in your game. The clothing is all lagniappe.Be kind, please. This is the first sim I've ever shared with anyone. I hope I've done everything right, and please have patience with me if I've made a mistake.

Additional Notes: Duriel has been teaching himself to play the piano for years, but you had better be glad those screenshots of him playing the violin don't come with sound. He also enjoys strategic board games like chess and go and doesn't feel at all at home unless he has already learned to teleport from a ninja.
Neat: 7

Occupational Notes: Duriel is suited to being in the military job track, the intelligence track, the medical track, or the police track, as he has held each of these jobs, or similar ones, at different points in his considerably long life. Of course, he's also contented being fabulously rich, because, frankly, he is. It's hard to live for thousands of years and not become ridiculously wealthy unless you're just an idiot.

Duriel's WardrobeAll of the retextures included in Duriel's wardrobe were done entirely by me, based on maxis textures with a little judicious hand painting.
