The ranking of the 72 Pillars and the ranking of a Devil is unrelated. You can be born in the family of the Great King but still considered as a High Class Devil or lower. In another case, a Devil may be born in a lower ranking of the 72 Pillars or may not even be part of the 72 Pillars but can still be Ultimate-class Devil.
