Card Trivia

 Belial (also Belhor, Baalial, Beliar, Beliall, Beliel; from Hebrew בְּלִיַּ֫עַל Bəliyyáʻal; also named Matanbuchus, Mechembuchus, Meterbuchus in older scripts) is an evil being in Jewish apocrypha, and also a term used to characterise the wicked or worthless.
The etymology of the word is uncertain but is most commonly translated as without worth. Some scholars translate it from Hebrew as worthless (Beli yo'il), while others translate it as yokeless (Beli ol), may have no rising (Belial) or never to rise (Beli ya'al). Only a few etymologists have assumed it to be a proper name from the start. In the Book of Jubilees, uncircumcised heathens are called sons of Belial.
In the Goetia, Belial is said to be very respectful. Belial is also the demon of lust. As a Prince of Hell, he commands 50 Legions of Demons and is specifically the Prince reigning over the Northern Reaches of Hell. He controls the element of earth and reigns over the Earth Elementals (earth demons.) The other princes of Hell include: Gaap, Asmoday, and Vassago.
This card essentially has a built-in version of Raregold Armor and Metalsilver Armor.

This card did NOT have its halo edited out. (Perhaps because it is black and a full disk as opposed to the usual golden ring and therefore less easy to see as a halo.)

Rulings




OCG Rulings

Face-down Defense Position monsters are unaffected by the effect of "Belial - Marquis of Darkness". (Your opponent can target them for attacks, or with Spell/Trap effects.)

Monsters in the Graveyard are unaffected by the effect of "Belial - Marquis of Darkness". (Your opponent can target them with Spell/Trap effects.)

"Belial - Marquis of Darkness" only prevents your opponent from targeting monsters on your field. It does not affect cards in the Graveyard, so your opponent can activate "Monster Reborn" and target a card in your Graveyard.: While "Belial - Marquis of Darkness" is on the field, can Monster Cards in the Graveyard be targeted by Spell/Trap Cards?

Monsters on the field of the player who does not control "Belial - Marquis of Darkness" are unaffected by the effect of "Belial - Marquis of Darkness". (Only face-up monsters on the field of the player who does control "Belial - Marquis of Darkness" cannot be targeted for attacks, or with Spell/Trap effects.)

While you control "Belial - Marquis of Darkness", the effect only prevents your opponent from targeting your cards with Spell/Trap Cards. Your opponent can still target his own cards with his Spell/Trap Cards.: While "Belial - Marquis of Darkness" is on the field, can the opponent target his own monsters with Spell/Trap Cards?

When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card that targets 1 monster you control, if you Chain "Call of the Haunted" to Special Summon "Belial - Marquis of Darkness", then the Spell/Trap Card resolves properly because the target has already been selected.: What happens if "Belial - Marquis of Darkness" is Special Summoned in chain to the activation of a Spell/Trap Card which targets?

If you control both "Evil HERO Malicious Fiend" and "Belial - Marquis of Darkness", and their effects are being applied, all monsters your opponent controls are changed to Attack Position, and they must atack "Evil HERO Malicious Fiend
