To the Bael, the current Maous are just symbols, they aren't considered real. They can just randomly choose who they want as a symbol, a symbol only needs to be strong and charismatic as per the First Head of Bael said. A symbol only needs to function as a tool that represents the Devils for appearance but not on the entire Devil society.
