African Devils
Generally benign creatures, the devils of Africa
are considered to be more of a nuisance than a
threat. In their natural and true form they have
one arm, one ear, one eye, and one leg, but they
use their shape-shifting abilities to look human
and are very fast runners. In this guise the devils
live in villages blending in, assuming a name and
a life, and even performing everyday tasks such
as farming and hunting.

Agaliarept
Variations: Agalierap, Agalierept
The eighteenth century book alleged to be
written by Pope Honorius III, Grimoire of Pope
Honorius (Le Grimoire du Pape Honorius), says
that Agaliarept is the demon of anger, hate,
vengeance, and war. He is the commander of the
Secret Police of Hell and a grand general in the
infernal army, commander of the 2nd Legion.
Under his personal command are also four servitors. With the Tarihimal he shares commands of
the servitor ELELOGAP (see SERVITORS OF
AGALIAREPT). Sources conflict as to whose command he is under. Some claim that he is one of
the two SERVITORS OF LUCIFER (SANTANACKIA
being the other), while others say he is under

SAMMAEL. Agaliarept looks like a mature man
with a thick handlebar moustache. He is summoned because of his ability to cause dissension
in the enemy army by creating distrust among
the men. Agaliarept can also discover the secrets
of all the courts and council chambers of the
world and from any time period; he holds sway
over Europe and Asia Minor. His sign is that of
two heads.

Agapiel
Agapiel is, according to Theurgia Goetia, the
second book of the Lemegeton, the Lesser Key of
Solomon, one of the fifteen SERVITORS OF ICOSIEL
(see ICOSIEL). He has under his personal command 2,200 servitors and may be summoned any
time of the day or night. Agapiel rules over the
planet Mars.

Agares
Variations: Agaros, Agreas, AGUARES, King of
the East, TAMIEL (“perfection of God”)
Agares is a grand duke of the eastern region of
Hell and the prime minister of LUCIFER (see

DUKES OF HELL and PRIME MINISTERS OF HELL).
He is also responsible for distributing titles and
prelacies. Sources vary as to whose service he
falls directly under: LUCIFUGE ROFOCALE or
MEPHISTOPHELES. Agares is also listed as being
one of the seventy-two SPIRITS OF SOLOMON.
One of the FALLEN ANGELS, formerly of the
Order of Virtues, he swore allegiance to SAMIAZA
and rebelled against God because he lusted after
and took a human wife as his mate, fathering the
NEPHILIM. He is the demon of courage and has
thirty-one legions of servitors under his command, sharing an additional eighty-seven
demons with SAMMAEL.
Agares is easily summoned but it is best to call
him up during the month of March at the
eleventh hour of the night when his power is at
its peak. When he appears, Agares looks like a
caring and kindly lord mounted upon a crocodile
with a hawk perched upon his fist. He has a wide
array of powers at his disposal such as causing
earthquakes, destroying spiritual and temporal
dignities, doling out power, granting titles, making terrestrial spirits dance, placing newfound
courage in those who would flee before greater
