Meet the Goetia - #39 : Malphas
(If you're looking for the context of this post, please check this introduction.)
- Not to be confused with the previous one, although like I said, I like to headcanon Halphas and him as siblings, on account of their almost identical names and the many similarities they share...
- Title : President
- Said to command 40 legions of demons
- Sigil :
- It is said that he can not only erect houses, towers and strongholds, but also tear down all enemy buildings.
- Said to appear as a crow or a raven. Can also assume a human shape if the conjurer so requests.
- In accordance with his aforementioned ability to erect buildings, the Dictionnaire Infernal chose to spice it up, depicting him as an anthropomorphic bird in a mason’s attire, with trousers and a trowel.
Isn’t he adorable ?
- Can bring you artificers from anywhere in the world.
- Provides good familiars.
- It is also said that he can destroy the thoughts and desires of enemies (or simply reveal them to the conjurer).
- Will gladly accept offerings and sacrifices, but won’t hesitate to deceive the conjurer.
- Some claim that he is Satan’s second-in-command, which would mean that he is actually much more influential than what his unassuming description would imply...
