Mysterious Hooded Figure on the Chair?


When we first see that red chair in the middle of the room, I thought they'd found Satan. It wasn't much of a throne but that's what I thought, lol

Who was the hooded figure who was sitting on it? Does anyone have a screen cape of him and his face?

It was Satan, and that was his throne.

As for it not being much of a throne, that actually makes sense. Hell may be Satan's domain, but it is just as much of a punishment for him as it is for all the souls trapped there. He's king of hell. It f-cking sucks

As for why it's Satan, this is blatantly inspired by Dante's Inferno. Right down to the "The only way out is down" line. In DI, the protagonist has to get to the center of hell (Satan's "throne room" so to speak) before leaving through, I believe, a hole out of hell. Much like the protagonists did
