Demon of the Week 011

Agares as depicted in Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal, 1863.

Agares (or Agreas) is a Grand Duke, ruling the eastern zone of Hell, and being served by 31 legions of demons.

Agares can make runaways come back, and those who stand still run. He can cause earthquakes and teaches languages, finding great pleasure in immoral expressions. Also, he has the power to destroy dignities, both temporal and supernatural.

He is depicted as a pale old man riding a crocodile and with a hawk on his fist.
