Abrulges

Acaos

A nocturnal AERIAL DEVIL of Christian demonology who is mentioned in Trithemius’s
Steganographia (1506), Abrulges is one of the
eleven SERVITORS OF PAMERSIEL (see PAMERSIEL).
When he is summoned, it must be done from the
second floor of a home or in a wide and open space,
such as a field or a stadium. Demonologists would

call upon him because of his usefulness in driving
out other spirits from haunted places; however,
they must be careful with what he says to them,
as he is an expert liar. Abrulges has a reputation
for telling secrets. He is arrogant and stubborn
by nature and one of the DUKES OF HELL.
