Baalzebub:

| Reference | monst.c#line2713 |
Baalzebub, &, is one of the demon princes who appears in Gehennom. He will be found in his lair, if you do not encounter him earlier. He is quite easy to defeat, though many consider him annoying because of his repeated use of a stunning gaze. Blindfold yourself and fight him on the up staircase; Elbereth is usually not necessary.
If you have enough gold, and if you are not wielding Excalibur, Baalzebub will ask you for money for safe passage. If he fails to see where you are he will attack you out of general principle[1].
Encyclopedia entry
The "lord of the flies" is a translation of the Hebrew
Ba'alzevuv (Beelzebub in Greek). It has been suggested that
it was a mistranslation of a mistransliterated word which
gave us this pungent and suggestive name of the Devil, a
devil whose name suggests that he is devoted to decay,
destruction, demoralization, hysteria and panic...
