The Bael Clan is one of the remaining 33 Devil clans of the 72 Pillars. It is the highest-ranking clan amongst the 72 Pillars and holds the rank of Great King.
Summary
As the highest-ranking clan of the 72 Pillars, the Bael Clan is well known and famous for their Power of Destruction ability. They are also extremely prideful, looking down on other Devils and prefer to stick to the old tradition where demonic power determines everything, going as far as discriminating their own family members who don't not possess any demonic powers.
The Bael Clan, excluding Sairaorg and people close to him, are hostile towards the Gremory Clan as their current generation have strongly inherited the Power of Destruction.
In Volume 18, the first head of the House of Bael, Zekram Bael [1], made his appearance. He told that he wants Sairaorg to became a Maou as he didn't inherit the Power of Destruction and only those who inherit it is allowed to become the head of the House. Zekram also said that the Four Great Satans are just symbols and the real leader of the Underworld is the head of the House of Bael. According to Zekram, Sairaorg's father, who is the current head of the Bael Clan, has a strong hatred of both Issei and Sairaorg as they are the strongest among the young devils despite Sairaorg not having the Power of Destruction and Issei being a reincarnated devil.
Symbol
The clan emblem of the Bael consists a purple flower, reminiscing over the ones that grow throughout the Bael city.
