Godfree Beelzebub's Masquerade

Beelzebub is the founder and current headmaster of the order of the Fly,

a demented court of demons in Hell. He fell from grace with God after killing

his older brother, Dagon, with an Archangel Blade. Believing that God may

never forgive him for killing Dagon, Beelzebub sets himself upon a course of evil

and duplicitous misdeeds here on Earth. Initially, he finds Nero, Caesar of Rome,

whom he happily touches.

Over time and through history, Beelzebub touches and creates Attila the Hun,

Genghis Khan, Vlad Prince of Wallachia, King Leopold II of Belgium, Maximilien

Robespierre, Joe Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Pol Pot.

After two thousand years of evil duty and tired of bloodshed, violence, and death,

Beelzebub lands in San Francisco and finds a hopeless attorney, Richard H. Daily,

suffering from losing his wife and son to an unsolved hit and run head-on car accident.

Beelzebub decides to touch Richard, erasing his memories, possibly out of guilt.

With no memory of his impressive past, Beelzebub uses Richard as his patsy to

play with human character flaws: greed, pride, incompetence, and stupidity,

as a new form of evil entertainment.

When human tragedies begin to occur: wildfire, social injustice, murder, and riot,

Beelzebub's hold over Richard starts to take a back seat, fall apart amd weaken.

Eventually, with the help of Archangels Gabriel and Raphael, an old lover, and a

mysterious Jesuit priest, Richard slowly discovers that Beelzebub has duped him.

To send Beelzeub back to Hell, Richard's old friends and secret partners must trick him

with a confidence game to get close enough to use the Archangel Blade.

However, fooling the greatest trickster of all time will take untapped courage and

newfound faith in God and humanity to save Richard's soul. Ultimately, only true love

can save Richard from Beelzebub - The original Lord of the Flies.

Godfree Beelzebub's Masquerade is a suspenseful, multilayered examination of the

human condition as seen through the eyes of the fallen angel Beelzebub and the

lives of the people he touches.
