Balthazar sputters out a laugh at the idea of summoning God, shaking his head vehemently. "Definitely not quite the same thing. I might be able to come up with something that would work, but whether God wants to pick up at the other end or not is up to Him. Or Her. They. Why do we even use pronouns for God in the first place?"

Either way, it sounds like a fun project, if one with a potential for backlash. Count Balthazar in.

"They have different eye colors, where I come from," he says with a grimace. "Depending on power level, age, and details of alignment. There are some exceptions, but crossroads demons tend to have red eyes. Most of the rank and file aside from that are black-eyed. A bit more powerful, a lot more violent. The Knights of Hell had black eyes, too; they're all accounted for except one. The Princes of Hell have yellow eyes. They're reported dead. There've only been a few white-eyed demons. One was Alistair, Hell's torturer and inquisitor. The other I know of was Lilith, and she was the first. Ever."

"I did mention they're just damaged human souls where I come from? Even Lilith. The stories about Adam having a first wife have some truth to them. I'm not clear on whether our Lucifer tempted her or abducted her, or even if she went right to him, but whatever the case, she was unquestionably the most vicious creature in Hell. Gone now, but I saw her on the battlefield once, thousands of years ago." He shudders.

"Tell you what, your Crowley is a breath of fresh air after you've seen something like that. I hope you never see one of our demons."
