A handsome man with three heads — a serpent's, a man's with two stars on his forehead, and a calf's — riding a viper and carrying a firebrand.

Office

Sets cities, castles and great places on fire, and makes men witty in all ways.

Notes

The firebrand-bearing arsonist spirit personifies the devastating town fires that were early-modern cities' chief catastrophe.

Apocrypha

Before his fall Aim likely belonged to the Cherubim who were persuaded to join Lucifer's side. In Hell he divides his time between political affairs and his role as the Inferno's arsonist. His favor was sought by the Shaliah, the apostles of the demon kings, who charged him with razing the castles and strongholds of rebellious subjects and of enemies plotting their downfall.

The Chronicle

Aim, also known as Haborym or Aym, is a Great Duke of Hell, a very powerful demon and rules over twenty-six legions of demons.

Description

He is depicted as a man, but with three heads, one of a serpent, the second of a man, and the third of a cat to most authors, although some say of a calf, riding a viper, and carrying in his hand a lit firebrand with which he sets the requested things on fire.

Overview

Aim was likely of the Cherubim order who were persuaded in joining Lucifer's rebellion against Heaven and God. However, like his fellow rebels he was cast out of Heaven and fell from grace, clashing into what would be known as Hell. Aim was elevated to a Great Duke of Hell and was given over twenty-six legions of demons to rule over.

Aim would be summoned to set cities, castles, and great palaces ablaze, becoming something of a powerful arson in his spare time when he is not overseeing political matters within Hell. He was one of the demons that found favor from the Shaliah, the Apostles of the Demon Kings, who requested that he attacked and demolish castles or strongholds that house their former subjects whom rebelled against them or their enemies that planned their defeat and downfall.
