Tsukimono

Tsukimono (憑物, demon; lit evil spirit) are the native beings to the domain that is known by some as Hell. They were created when the first Asakura Family members were banished to the underworld and as a result the oldest members are the direct descendents of those few. The Tsukimono were blessed by Lucifer and granted certain rights, the most powerful and loyal seventy-two were granted the title of Ōji (王子, prince) and serve as the "rulers" of the realm.
