Ed's Notes: 9,999 of these Ice Devils guard the only known entryway into Nessus... Located at the bottom of a vast, frozen lake in Cania. Good luck getting in without an invitation! They must serve flawlessly for 777 years and then, if deemed worthy, endure the torments of the Pit of Flame for 1,001 days before being promoted to Pit Fiend. If they've come THIS far, thet are unlikely to want a blemish on their records now.
