In my language the names of the Malbranche are less than threatening. Any suggestions for non-canon alternatives?

What suggestions do you have for someone who has to outwit a contract devil?
Am I correct in thinking that Hell has a number of "dead end" situations where a damned soul never even makes it to lemure status? Getting used as building materials in Dis, joining Belial's harem, getting used as parchment by Geryon's scribes, etc.?
Is there an estimate for how long, on average, it takes a soul to make the transition to lemure? I'd assume some realms grind souls down faster than others, but is it normally a very long process? I'm currently under the impression that it normally takes centuries, if not longer.
Would a servant of Hell be able to negotiate being transformed into a specific type of devil upon death? Would such a clause reasonably require achieving certain goals while still mortal?
8. Why does Pharasma let children sacrificed to Moloch linger in Hell? Or allow souls who don't belong there to be made into chortovs and zebubs?
7. Hell's supposed to be about psychological torture but the torments written about seem physical. What am I missing?
6. Given the certainty of damnation, why would anyone sell his soul to a devil?
5. For damned souls, is it worse for women than it is for men or are they tortured equally? Also, how does Hell's much-vaunted meritocracy work for damned women?
4. How does Belial's misogyny manifest? I ask because I'm guessing he torments male sex slaves as well.
3. What reason does Asmodeus give for his misogyny?
2. Come to think of it, why would any woman willingly and knowingly serve hell?
1. Given Hell's misogyny, why did the Whore Queens willingly serve Hell? Were angels prudes or something?
Also what does Dispater think of his son Ragathiel, does he despise him and seek his destruction, or something closer to actually loving him but finding his choices horribly "misguided"?
Is their any chance we might see a mythic variant of the contract devil in mythic adventures/bestiary 4, something to really play up that iconic "great tempter" of devilkind?
What kinds of characters end up consigned to the 8th ring of hell?
Now more questions. What can you tell us about belial? I have a player who's decided blind calling another powerful demigod because it shares some of it's portfolio with a demon lord and it's cult who he just managed to not get killed by is a good idea and I kind of want more about him so I can better portray what he is all about.
Wow! So much stuff to take in, I kind of figured the whole Doloras being this feminine nihilism incarnate character but the repose thing still eludes me in its association. That being said from your write up here she sounds more like an ally of the daemons then kytons (nothing really matters, ascension to nothingness, total obliteration of the soul in order to never be hurt again. Sounds right up the alley of the horsemen. Especially sounds like an interesting ally of Suzeriel) which honestly just makes her more impressive. Okay wait I can kind of see the soul connection but it's more about the destruction of soul and self rather then it's preservation. Dammit now I need to build something around this.
Will we ever get more on the Infernal Duke Lorcan (aka the 3rd vampire and duke of undeath)?
Why does Geryon have the strength domain and not something more related to knowledge, secrets, or Heresy?
As a duke of what is basically nature used to cause fear and madness why is it that Barbatos doesn't have the Animal domain as part of his repertoire? From his write up in Kobold he really feels like it was a domain he was meant to have.
Do you have any plans to write more articles on the lords of the rings of hell now that Kobold quarterly has stopped production, maybe as web enhancements or blog updates? I was blown away by the Barbatos entry as before that I really hadn't felt like he was fleshed out enough to get what his schtick was in tempting souls but with that article it put him in a whole new light. Also I'm really waiting to see what you would do with characters like Belial who my group apparently now NEEDS info on and I would desperately want to see you punch out another write up on par with the last 2.
Why does Doloras have the Repose domain?
What can you tell us about the Whore Queens, will they ever get more of a write up and time in the sun?
I'd like your opinion on Devils, since you are the Devil Master Supreme! With demons and demon lords, they can take power with force and strength. Some examples include Noctula and Lamashtu. For devils and their Infernal Dukes and Archdevils, how does a devil usurp their power?
