Ars Goetia 63 - Andras

Ars Goetia 63 Andras
A manifestation of Andras, the 63rd demon described in the Infernal Dictionary.

His title is Great Marquis and he controls over thirty legions of demons.

Andras often manifests in a humanoid body with angel's wings and an owl's head, holding a gleaming and sharp great-sword. He is also often depicted riding great dark wolf. His power is extreme, if successfully summoned and commanded, he can kill anyone. Andras is a master of the sword and violence, often summoned at times of war, to sow discord, cause strife and bloodshed. He can ruin a truce between former enemies and enflame old grudges.

Generally considered one of the most dangerous of summons, only the most powerful conjurers should even consider attempting to summon this creature, and extreme precautions must be taken. When summoned Andras is intent on killing both the conjurer and the assistants should they stray from the circle of protection. He will tempt the summoners and only a great will is capable of bringing him under tenuous control.

Once an angel, sided with Lucifer and fell from grace.

Aspect of Valefor

Aspect of Valefor
Valefor (also at times referred to as Valefar, Malaphar, Malephar) is a Duke of Hell. Described as the 5th demon in the Lesser Key of Solomon. He is a fallen angel who fell from grace during Lucifer's rebellion. He commands ten legions of demons. He tempts people to steal, promotes good relations among thieves, but is known to abandon his followers at the gallows.

He often presents very different appearances to those who dare to summon him. Animalistic, parts lion and donkey, with multiple limbs and more than one gaping mouth. However he is also known to assume humanoid and even angelic form at times and may only be visible in a mirror.

While generaly considered a fickle patron, who ultimately betrays his followers and may lead them astray, Valefor has at times sent agents to protect or aid his chosen ones. It is not clear if these are entirely separate entities, or actual manifestations of the Duke himself. The image above represents one such manifestation, an aspect of Valefor.

He also has the power to turn any metal into coins. It is said that he can impart great knowledge upon any man, and even turn a fool wise.
