Dromos of the Lilim was one of Lucifer Morningstar's lieutenants in Hell before he was demoted. He is a Demon who possessed the body of William Kinley, at the behest of Eve, with the intention of getting Lucifer back to Hell. When that failed, Dromos, along with his brother, Squee, plotted to make Charlie the new King of Hell, using a ritual that Kinley planned to use on Lucifer to banish him to Hell for eternity. He was foiled by Lucifer, Amenadiel, Mazikeen, Eve, and Chloe Decker.
Biography[]
Birth[]
Dromos is one of the many Demons born to Lilith and sent to Hell to be part of Lucifer Morningstar's army. Like most demons, he was occupied in torturing damned souls in Hell. When he came to Earth he made a comment about, "hanging in Hell, popping out eyeballs like any other Tuesday..."
Demon Uprising[]
Coming to Earth[]
After the rogue priest, William Kinley was killed by Eve, she told the dying man to tell the demons to send someone to help Lucifer get back to Hell. Dromos was the first demon to interact with the priest's soul, "So, of course, Dromos... ever loyal. I did not hesitate. I came straight here to answer your call." Dromos went against Lucifer's ban on possesion and possessed Kinley's lifeless body in order find Lucifer and get him back to Hell. He then murdered the hip hop artist, Holla Bae whose body then served as a vessel for his brother, Squee.
The pair then tracked Lucifer to Lux, where the tearful demon greeted his king, and told him, "Lucifer... you've been on vacation forever. You didn't write, you didn't call. You didn't even send a burnt offering. The demons of Hell - they need a king." When Lucifer the facetiously named Dromos King of Hell, his demeanor changed. He suggested he might like trying torture out on a live human, and Lucifer lost his temper, and told Dromos he was lucky not to have been incinerated for breaking the no possession rule. He was told to touch no one and go back to Hell. He seemed to submit, but then began his plot to replace Lucifer. When Chloe and Maze later went to Lucifer to tell him there were demons in town, he dismissed their concerns, saying he sent them packing, then added, "the demons in question are Dromos and Squee. Hardly the brightest bulbs in the hellfire chandelier."
Dromos then murdered another human, Lila Clayborne, so she could then be another demon vessel, and had her kidnap Charlie, using the fact that Lucifer had mentioned his new nephew. Since only a celestial could rule Hell, Dromos opted to use Charlie as an alternate king - one he would train and keep under his thumb.
Eve then tracked Dromos and the demons down, and told him she had summoned him to get Lucifer, not terrorize a child. He angrily told her that he didn't take orders from her - or from Lucifer anymore, for that matter. He hit her, and while she was unconscious, he and the other demons left her and vanished.
Battle at the Mayan[]
Dromos took the demons and Charlie to a venue that was the required, "house of worship, but also a den of sin," the Mayan Theatre. He added the contents of Kinley's vial to Charlie's bottle and the Lila demon heated it. Just as he was readying the ritual; Lucifer, Amenadiel, Maze, and Chloe appear. Dromos smugly tells his king, "the thing is, I don't take orders from you anymore. Not since the whole abdication thing. So, long live King Charlie. He's gonna be a hell of a ruler. Pun intended. Because I am gonna mold him into exactly what I want." He calls Lucifer a selfish king and disgusting for getting mushy with the humans. An angry Lucifer promises the demon he will pay for this.
The celestials and demons fight, while Eve takes the baby and runs. When Lucifer's team easily defeats Dromos' squad, and he defiantly challenges Lucifer to make him go home. The devil takes a hell blade to destroy his body just when Chloe walks in. Dromos points her out and Lucifer halts sending him back to Hell to tell Chloe to leave, prompting Dromos to say, "You see, this is what I'm talking about. It's so sweet, I'm gonna puke." He then calls in his back up, as dozens of possessed humans pour into the room, "It's amazing how many demon souls you can suss from a little church confessional!"
Return to Hell[]
Lucifer, however, was done playing and Dromos was speechless when he pulled out his full King of Hell form and angrily ordered the demons to their knees. They instantly complied, even the intimidated Dromos reluctantly joins them in bowing to Lucifer. Lucifer then gave his orders in no uncertain terms, "You do not belong here. Go home!" All the demons, including Dromos, then vacated the human bodies and went back to Hell.
When Dromos went back to Hell, and Lucifer followed not long after, Lucifer punished Dromos for his actions by demoting him. Later on, when Lucifer and Chloe couldn’t find Dan Espionza in his Hell loop, Lucifer theorized he got lost in one of Dromos’ keggers.
Personality[]
Dromos is cunning and clever, picking up on the casual mention of Lucifer's new nephew quickly enough to use Charlie as a replacement king, knowing only a celestial can rule in Hell. He did however, retain a healthy fear of his master, and knew enough when to cut his losses. As one of Lucifer's most steadfast enforcers, he is ever-loyal and subservient to his King, and as a result complied with Lucifer's orders of bowing and going back to Hell. And he's sadistic
