Babylonian god of the dead, Nergal gained this position by the use of an escort of fourteen demons which followed him around; he descended to the netherworld and forced its mistress Ereshkigal to agree to be his consort, and give him dominion over not only her, but her realm also. Nergal was represented as wearing a crown and waited upon by the fourteen demons through which he had gained admittance to the underworld. He was the god of plague, pestilence, fire, battle and the desert.
