I've been reading through Book of the Damned Vol. I: Princes of Darkness (Hell is cool again!) and there's one thing I've been wondering about throughout the book - unique devils. Now, the book mentions somewhere that the infernal nobility (such as the Infernal Dukes and the Whore Queens) are unique devils and it seems to be implied (to me at least) that the only unique devils in Hell are either dukes, whore queens, or archfiends.
Is that a correct interpretation?

For the most part, yes. There's probably additional unique devils under the CR 20 range, but they are, well, unique. If and when they show up in adventures, we'll stat 'em up, but they're pretty fantastically rare. For the most part, if a devil is unique and worth calling out, they're pretty powerful.

I would suspect, based on their heirarchical nature, that a lower level 'unique' devil might have a rough time of it, not having a specific place in the 'order of things.' An Erinyes has a specific place in the pecking order, while 'Bob, with the horns coming out of his elbows,' not so much.
'Unique' demons might, on the other hand, be a bit more common and have a certain notoriety, in a realm that celebrates chaos and downplays regimentation and conformity, which might also make them a bit more of a target, on the downside...
