Bael
King · 1st Ars Goetia · 66 legions
Mastery of invisibility and unseen influence. Appears with three heads — cat, toad, and man — seated upon a throne of fire.
His invisibility tempts practitioners into spiritual cowardice — they learn to slip through life unseen and slowly lose the capacity to be witnessed at all.
Agares
Duke · 2nd Ars Goetia · 31 legions
Teaches all tongues, returns fugitives, and causes earthquakes. Rides a crocodile in the form of a pale, bearded elder.
He teaches languages too fluently. Practitioners report an inability to stop talking, and a creeping incomprehension of silence.
Vassago
Prince · 3rd Ars Goetia · 26 legions
Reveals the past and declares things to come. One of the few Goetic spirits considered "good-natured," historically favoured by ceremonial scryers.
His visions are accurate but never contextual. Practitioners see events before understanding them, and spend years misinterpreting what was shown.
Marbas
President · 5th Ars Goetia · 36 legions
Reveals the causes of hidden disease, grants true healing, and teaches mechanical arts. Appears first as a great lion, then as a man.
He cures one ailment by moving it elsewhere. Practitioners report old illnesses vanishing as new, stranger ones take their place.
Amon
Marquis · 7th Ars Goetia · 40 legions
Reconciles enemies and estranged friends, knows both past and future. Wolf-headed with a serpent's tail, breathing flame.
He reconciles — but on his terms. Friendships repaired through Amon often return hollower than before, with neither party fully remembering why they had fought.
Barbatos
Duke · 8th Ars Goetia · 30 legions
Grants understanding of the speech of animals and birds, reveals hidden treasure laid by enchantment, reconciles friends and rulers. Arrives with four noble kings and three companies of troops.
He opens the ear to beasts and birds — and practitioners slowly find human conversation grating, shallow, and finally unbearable.
Buer
President · 10th Ars Goetia · 50 legions
Teaches moral philosophy, the logic of natural science, and the virtues of herbs. Heals the sick and gives familiar spirits.
His moral philosophy is coherent and brutal. Practitioners emerge unable to tolerate the casual ethical compromises of ordinary life, and isolate themselves accordingly.
Beleth
King · 13th Ars Goetia · 85 legions
Causes absolute love between any two beings. Demands the practitioner wear a silver ring on the middle finger and show extreme reverence, or he will not submit.
The love he causes is real, durable, and deeply inconvenient. Practitioners have woken a long-forgotten partner's obsession and then been unable to close the door they opened.
Astaroth
Duke · 29th Ars Goetia · 40 legions
Answers truly concerning the past, present, and things to come. Reveals the reasons for the fall of spirits. Rides a dragon, crowned, holding a viper.
His breath is recorded as foul — a metaphor for the stench of unflinching truth. Practitioners carry the smell in their mouths for days and find themselves unable to lie for weeks.
Asmodeus
King · 32nd Ars Goetia · 72 legions
Also named in the Book of Tobit and Talmudic tradition. Teaches geometry, arithmetic, artifice, and the full mechanics of lust. Three-headed — bull, man, ram — riding an infernal dragon.
He teaches geometry and lust as the same subject. Practitioners called for mathematical insight have found their partnerships dismantled while the equations clarified.
Stolas
Prince · 36th Ars Goetia · 26 legions
Teaches astronomy, the virtues of herbs, and the secret names of precious stones. Appears as a great crowned owl, later taking the form of a man.
His knowledge of the stars shows practitioners their own smallness so completely that ambition becomes impossible. Careers quietly end after deep Stolas work.
Phenex
Marquis · 37th Ars Goetia · 20 legions
Teaches the sciences and sings marvellously in the voice of a child. Holds a 1,200-year hope of return to the angelic choir — his songs carry the ache of that exile.
His plaintive song is contagious. Those who listen too long inherit the ache of his exile, and for months carry a homesickness for a place they have never been.
Murmur
Duke & Earl · 54th Ars Goetia · 30 legions
Teaches philosophy and binds the souls of the dead for questioning. Arrives preceded by the sound of great trumpets, crowned and riding a griffin.
He grants access to the dead, but the dead do not forgive being summoned. Practitioners report a growing chorus of faint, angry voices persisting for weeks after the rite is closed.
Orobas
Prince · 55th Ars Goetia · 20 legions
Gives true answers about divinity and the creation of the world. Known for fidelity — one of the few Goetic spirits who will not deceive the practitioner. Appears first as a horse, then as a man.
His honesty is absolute and therefore exhausting. Trivial questions receive answers to the underlying questions the practitioner was avoiding, leaving new obligations they cannot unknow.
Seere
Prince · 70th Ars Goetia · 26 legions
Brings things to pass suddenly. Traverses the whole earth in the twinkling of an eye. Discovers hidden treasures and is considered indifferent in nature — neither good nor evil.
His speed collapses the space between desire and arrival. Petition for swift delivery and everything arrives at once — the life you had time to prepare for is gone before you noticed it leaving.
Dantalion
Duke · 71st Ars Goetia · 36 legions
Teaches all arts and sciences. Declares the secret counsels of any person and can change the minds of men and women at the practitioner's will. Appears bearing many human faces.
He reads thoughts effortlessly and transmits them to the practitioner. Extended contact blurs the boundary between one's own inner voice and the overheard minds of everyone in the room.
Andromalius
Earl · 72nd & Final Ars Goetia · 36 legions
Returns stolen goods, catches thieves, and uncovers all hidden wickedness and dishonest dealing. Appears holding a great serpent.
His justice is retroactive. Petition him to recover a lost object, and long-buried betrayals from friends and family surface at the same time, whether wanted or not.
Beelzebub
Lord of the Flies · Non-Goetic · Gospel prince of demons
Derived from Baal-Zebub of Ekron. Sovereign over decay, pestilence, and the governance of fallen multitudes. In some traditions ranked alongside Lucifer himself.
His domain is rot. Those who work with him develop an uncanny awareness of every form of decay — food, buildings, friendships, their own body — and a long struggle to feel at home in anything alive.
Belphegor
Arch-demon · Non-Goetic · Lord of Sloth
Descended from the Moabite god Baal-Peor. Grants inventive genius and labour-saving insight — the temptation of ingenuity disguised as progress.
His gifts work. The shortcut, the clever system, the labour-saving insight — each one subtly erodes the practitioner's capacity for sustained effort, until even rest itself feels exhausting.
Azazel
Watcher Chief · Book of Enoch · The Scapegoat (Lev. 16)
Leader of the fallen Watchers of 1 Enoch. Teaches forbidden instruction — metallurgy, weapon-craft, cosmetics, and the arts of seduction and concealment humanity was "not meant" to know.
He teaches what should not be taught, and students inherit his exile — a gradual separation from the ordinary human community, as the knowledge itself sets them apart.
