Barbas.
Marbas, also known as Barbas, is a demon that is described as the Great President of Hell governing thirty-six legions of demons.
Overview[]
He was likely of the Cherubim order of angels in Heaven and later revealed to have been a torn piece of the lion aspect of a Cherubim that took sentience, independent motion, and thought of its own.
He answers truly on hidden or secret things, causes and heals diseases, teaches mechanical arts, and changes men into other shapes.
Description[]
He is depicted as a great lion that, under the conjurer's request, changes shape into a man.
The name Barbas also comes from the Latin "barba", beard, hellebore (a plant used in witchcraft, especially to invoke demons), and also a male name.
