Hi!
This is the line art of the 1st pic of a series of drawings about the consorts of the Nine Archdevils that I planned to do for eons. I'm so happy that I could draw the 1st at least.
Here is another version of the pic [link]
I started with Bensozia because I like her name and her story.

This is what I found on the net about her:

Bensozia was the consort of Baator's Emperor, Asmodeus. She's also referred to as the Empress of Hell, or Lady of Nessus.
According to scholars, Bensozia appeared as a beautiful, wingless, red-skinned she-devil with long white hair and completely black eyes. Her demeanor was cold and haughty, but polite.
Bensozia is often noted as having been a loyal and devoted consort who stood by her master at all times.
Unlike the Lord of Nessus, Bensozia appeared quiet and not so forceful, since little was heard of her until her recent death. She used to be the most powerful of the consorts but only could wield her power through Asmodeus, having little authority by herself. She is known to have commented, "I do not speak, it's not my place," in regards to this situation.
Shortly before the Reckoning of Hell, Bensozia was assaulted by the arch-lord of the 5th layer of Hell, Levistus. While she was leading a routine inspection of the layers, the ruler of Stygia came to her with the offer of becoming his consort if she helped him depose Asmodeus. Upon her harsh refusal, Levistus became infuriated and killed her along with her pit-fiend bodyguards. Asmodeus quickly spotted the act and imprisoned Levistus in a thick block of ice as punishment. The archdevil Geryon replaced him as the new ruler of Stygia. Later, when the Reckoning was over, Hell's overlord deposed Geryon and returned control of Stygia to Levistus.

Whether or not the Empress of Hell really died is still a mystery.
