Lilith's Links
To say that Samael and Lilith's relationship is complicated is putting it lightly. He was the first to stand by her side when she sought freedom from Adam's dominance, and is the first person she has ever felt love towards. It did not sate her growing contempt for humanity and how they treated her, but it made his decision to stay behind all the more painful for her. She spent many years waxing and waning between love and hate for Samael once she descended to Hell and took her place as the Queen of Lust, but she found herself missing him fiercely as time went on. She takes whatever news she can get of him and holds it close, but does not pursue asking further to protect herself and to hold onto the anger that has kept her afloat for so long in Hell. Their reunion in the 1940s, however, has changed that feeling of anger to something else - something more comfortable and familiar, and therefore all the more dangerous.
Lilith is perhaps the most important human to Samael throughout his entire six thousand year existence - but she is also something of a sore point. They spent almost half of their lives together after she gained immortality and he was ousted from Heaven, simply spanning the globe and changing with the pass of centuries. They were at once guardian and charge, dear friends, and even lovers for a time. Samael still cares deeply for Lilith but since she aligned with Hell's hierarchy they have not had any chance of extended contact and things are painfully complicated. He misses her, but can't be sure that she misses him.
The first kindred spirit Lilith has found in a very long, long time. Their meeting was an accident but she warmed to Fenrisulfr and his plight - betrayed by those whom he loved and left shackled for all eternity. The unfairness of the situation brings her anger to a boil and she will see that his situation is rectified, even if it must be by her own hands.
Baphomet is one of the few individuals Lilith would consider a friend. She admired her when they initially met and treasured her company during the time she and Samael escaped God's flood. She wishes she would have taken Baphomet's wise counsel to heart sooner in dealing with the ways of the world - she could have avoided so much heartbreak.
Lilith was quite an unexpected addition to her list of connections, much like Samael himself. Baphomet saw in her both an innocence and a darkness that the angel in her company did not seem to fully grasp at the time, one that Baphomet hoped she could steel Lilith against growing stronger. She worries for Lilith when she hears nothing for long stretches and hopes that what she was able to teach the immortal has served her well.
Lilith is amiable with Astaroth but keeps her sibling-by-marriage at a cautious distance. They share a mutual dislike of her husband, and she is well aware that any show of generosity towards her is done to spite Asmodeus. She cannot help but feel begrudgingly thankful for the few magical gifts he has bestowed her, however, and checks up on him regularly as a gesture of good faith.
There is no particular fondness that Astaroth holds for Lilith per se, but in the company of aggressive, ostentatious, and reprehensible creatures such that demons are he does find her to be perfectly tolerable. All the better, he can read her distaste for his half-brother quite well and enjoys enabling Lilith to make things difficult for Asmodeus in any way that he can. They keep each other at arm's length but have enough of an understanding between them that they can work together toward at least one common goal.
Lilith's feelings towards her King have changed greatly over time. The man she had seen as a kindred spirit when she had first sided with the infernal powers quickly established himself as her lord and treated her less as a person with her own ambitions but rather as a caged bird to be shown off to courtiers, or as his willing concubine for some new act of depravity. She does well at maintaining civility with her husband but she also does her part to spite him in order to earn the freedom he had promised her and subsequently snatched away. She will never forgive him for his betrayal.
Lilith is nothing short of a treasure to Asmodeus, one that should be admired and protected. He saw in her a common thread, a hatred of humanity that spurned them while they could not deny their own heritage; and a longing for true understanding for that side of themselves, that which he could not find among demons and her angelic companion could not hope to provide. He wooed Lilith to Hell with the promise of kinship and when she was secure he took her as his queen. Asmodeus has always lavished Lilith in ways she had never been during her time among mortals, but over time he preferred to keep her on a tight leash. Asmodeus is aware of his queen's shift in attitude towards him, but he is willing to make compromises with her and talk out their disagreements as best demons can.
Sariel is Lilith's light, her joy, her dearest treasure. After being unable to conceive with Asmodeus, Sariel's birth is nothing short of a miracle for Lilith, and one that she does not take for granted; she tells him regularly how much he means to her and spoils him with affection. Given that she is merely a human and has no inherent powers of her own that were not bestowed to her, she is not sure if her son will have enough to protect him from those that would do him harm. She loves and cherishes her boy and trusts in Sam and herself to do what they can to keep him safe, but she also knows that they have enemies to spare and worries that she is not doing enough.
