Order of the Fly

"Ad maiorem Luciferum gloriam."

- Order of the Fly's motto.

The Order of the Fly is a major demonic court and order within Hell, that was founded by Beelzebub, one of the Seven Princes of Hell.

Overview
While founded by Beelzebub, it is likely controlled by Lucifer as well.

Description
The Order of the Fly was founded by Beelzebub shortly after the hierarchy of Hell was fully established. It serves as his own personal court and order where Beelzebub would be relayed information regarding the activities of royal demons and progress of Hell's systematic workings. Beelzebub only invites demons he deems as trustworthy enough to not move against him or the throne of Hell. Even then, the concept of trust is about as rare as finding a golden needle in a haystack. Nevertheless, Beelzebub confides with the more prominent members of the Order in regards to important matters.

Seeing that Beelzebub is Lucifer's most trusted advisor and his intellectual equal, the Morningstar appointed him with handling the bureaucratical workings of Hell's hierarchy. Moreover, information given to Beelzebub by a highly-esteemed and placed member in both the court and Hell's royal hierarchy regarding an issue with how a demon is running a region in one of the Circles, the rapid decline of resources due to the excessive use of said resources, or more so demons requesting permission over the jurisdiction of a claimed region is to be transferred over to Lucifer or Satan and await their final word.
