The sigil of the demon Malphas

In demonology, Malphas is a Goetic demon who first appears in Johann Weir's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. That work and the Lesser Key of Solomon describe him as a mighty Great President of Hell, with forty legions of demons under his command and is second in command under Satan.

Malphas is ruled over by the Kabbalistic angel Rehael.

General appearance

Like the demon Raum, Malphas appears as a raven, but if requested, will instead resemble a man with a hoarse voice.

Abilities

Malphas is said to build houses, high towers and strongholds, throw down the buildings of the enemies, destroy the enemies' desires or thoughts (and/or make them known to the conjurer) and all that they have done, give good familiars, and quickly bring artificers together from all places of the world. According to the writers, Malphas accepts willingly and kindly any sacrifice offered to him, but then he will deceive the conjurer.

This spirit is a servant demon to those born September 26 - 30.
