i really love that dice has been the one carrying and administering ramuda’s lollipops. it would’ve been easy for ramuda to just take and hold onto them himself, but it becomes metaphoric to the fact that he’s not dealing with this alone anymore, he can quite literally trust dice with his life.

I know the brothers aren't related by blood except for the triplets but it really makes me wonder how Mammon even got into the family if there really was no reason to take him in
Obey Me: Lucifer's Army
As former angels, the brotherhood they refer to is one that all angels share - they all have the same father (as Lucifer refers to God in one of his devilgrams), but were created by divine purpose rather than the way those of us in the human realm understand such things.
We know that Lucifer was an archangel, one of the highest ranks, and deeply admired and respected by the other angels. We also know Lucifer was, as an angel, an insufferable prick 😂
I think that's an important point to note, that the angels are not necessarily the 100% good guys that counter the 100% bad demons. It seems like Diavolo, for example, is a far more fair ruler than his celestial counterpart, seeking peace rather than destruction.
While Lucifer is the angel that led the others into battle, each had their own reasons for joining. Beel and Belphie of course were closest to Lilith, and Lucifer too was very close to the three of them.
But the three youngest angels would have been far less powerful than the mighty archangel, and it is unlikely their battle would have lasted long had their ranks not been bolstered by three other very powerful angels: Mammon, the fastest and most controlled angel as Lucifer's commander; Leviathan, a primeval power who struck terror into the hearts of man; and Asmodeus, the most beautiful angel who could inspire an entire army to rise up against God himself.
Mythology tells us that Lucifer's army was made up of a third of all heavens angels, while archangel Michael led the remaining two thirds against him.
The war lasted a long time by the angel/demons own measure, and incidentally one of the angels named within Lucifer's forces is Barbatos (in the game however, he was already residing in hell before Lucifer fell).
Each angel played an important part in the war, and although they did not win, they all escaped with their lives, if not all of their wings.
This was a war fought for love, for fear, and for a cause.
We know that Lucifer struggles to connect emotionally with others, whereas this is Mammon's strength. We know Lucifer was much admired, but it was Leviathan who inspired fear. And we know that Lucifer could command an army, but it was Asmodeus that raised them to the cause.
Well. So my theories go 😊
