Notes

The book's most dangerous spirit: “if the exorcist have not a care, he will slay both him and his fellows.” Weyer adds that Andras teaches how to kill enemies, masters and servants.

Apocrypha

A fallen angel nicknamed "the Gray Knight" and equated with the Celtic war goddess Andraste, he is counted among the Goetia's most ferocious spirits and the most dangerous to summon — anyone who steps outside the circle is killed without hesitation. Flauros is said to serve him, and he is portrayed as a master swordsman who kept up a friendly rivalry with the legendary Sparda. In the wiki's modern legend the priest Ota Benga imprisoned Andras within his own body for over a century, until a B.P.R.D. agent helped drive the demon back to Hell.
