Satan, also known as The Devil is an entity in the Abrahamic religions that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. In Judaism, Satan is seen as an agent subservient to God, typically regarded as a metaphor for the yetzer hara, or "evil inclination." In Christianity and Islam, he is usually seen as a fallen angel that has rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of demons.

-'''[[Christoph Haizmann]]''' (1647 - 1700) was a Bavarian painter active in Austria. He is remembered for signing a [[diabolical pact]] with [[Satan]] and the subsequent [[exorcist|exorcism]] to free him from the pact.
+'''[[Satan]]''', also known as [[The Devil]] is an entity in the [[Abrahamic religion]]s that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. In [[Judaism]], Satan is seen as an agent subservient to [[Yahweh|God]], typically regarded as a metaphor for the'' yetzer hara'', or "evil inclination." In [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]], he is usually seen as a [[fallen angel]] that has rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of [[demon]]s.
-On September 24th, 1668, [[the Devil]] drew near and asked Christoph why he was so upset and sad. Christoph answered that he missed his father, and there was no one else in this world to care for him. The Devil promised “to help in every way and to lend a hand.” He then transformed into his true form, that of a ferocious scaled dragon with the face of a human.
-Showing Christoph his true form and swearing to assume the role of his deceased father was enough to finally convince the despondent man to sign a [[diabolical pact]]. Christoph wrote the pact in black ink in his native German language. It was short and simple: “I Christoph Haizmann, am writing to this Gentleman (the Devil) to be his son for the next nine years.”
