If I'm not mistaken, Belial means Devil. Duane and Belial's father was grief striken and blamed them both for his wife's death. He saw his sons as a single freak instead of two sons and when told he had to name them both, gave Belial the name Devil, for making his wife die in childbirth.

If only they'd named him George, none of this would've happened.
