Balam
Balaam

Three heads — a bull's, a man's and a ram's — with flaming eyes and a serpent's tail, riding a bear and carrying a goshawk.
Gives true answers of things past, present and to come, makes men invisible and witty.
He speaks hoarsely; the triple head mirrors Asmoday's. The name comes from the biblical prophet Balaam.
Before his fall Balam served in the order of Dominions (some accounts add the lesser Archangels); having joined Lucifer's revolt he was defeated by Michael's host, cast into the Abyss, and after Hell's hierarchy was established received a kingdom of his own. He is reckoned a nocturnal demon, strongest in December under the sign of Sagittarius, and is identified with the biblical Balaam and the Aztec god Tepeyollotl. The wiki also attaches a Hellboy-universe storyline to him, in which a mortal in Oregon kept him ensnared and fed on sacrifices for generations until Hellboy finally destroyed him.
Balam answers of things past and to come. The present, he considers your problem.
