The {{varquestmon|Archbishop of Moloch|Infidel|leader|EvilHack|Hack'EM}} They possess a strong weapon attack and the ability to cast clerical spells, similar to an [[aligned priest]].

==Generation==
The Archbishop of Moloch is always generated on the home level of the [[Infidel quest]], standing atop the [[altar]] of [[Moloch]] within the hidden [[temple]] at level creation. They are [[Monster starting inventory|generated with]] a [[quarterstaff]] and a cloak: the cloak has a {{frac|2|3}} chance of being a [[robe]], and will otherwise be a [[cloak of protection]].

==Strategy==
The Archbishop of Moloch is notable among EvilHack and Hack'EM quest leaders: if you have severely abused your [[alignment record]], your quest leader may demand the [[quest artifact]] from you with a chance based on the level of abuse and [[Luck]] - where other quest leaders become hostile if you do not comply with their request, the Archbishop will become hostile regardless of whether you comply. Killing the Archbishop in general carries much more lenient penalties compared to any other role, and Moloch will not be angered (the code notes this specifically as "Moloch's indifference").

If the quest is completed without incident, the Archbishop gives Infidels one of the hints regarding which high altar in the [[Astral Plane]] to [[invoke]] [[the Idol of Moloch]] on once it is imbued with the [[Amulet of Yendor]]'s power in [[Moloch's Sanctum]]; the other is obtained from the [[high priest]] of Moloch. If the Archbishop is dead after the quest, their high priest will have both hints.
