Buer
Buer
Appears in Sagittarius; famously drawn as a lion's head upon five goat legs set like a wheel.
Teaches philosophy, logic and the virtues of herbs, heals all distempers in man and gives good familiars.
The wheel-like body is entirely Le Breton's invention (1863): the text says only that he appears “in Sagittary.” The engraving became one of the most recognisable demonic images ever printed.
The wiki reckons him a fallen Cherub who, before the rebellion, was among the angels arranging the stars into constellations. He is compared to the centaur Chiron and the Japanese yokai Wanyudo, and local legend further makes him mentor to the demon knight Sparda in matters of philosophy and moral codes.
The Chronicle
I am a president of Hell, mortal. Whatever matters that concern you in the human realm must be solved in a brief timespan, as I must return to Hell posthaste.— Buer.
Buer is the 10th spirit of the Ars Goetia described as a Great President of Hell, having fifty legions of demons under his command.
Description
He has been described as being in the shape of Sagittarius, which is as a centaur with a bow and arrows. Additionally, and illustration of Buer, that has been later engraved, has been made depicting the demon as having the head of a lion and five goat legs surrounding his body to walk in every direction.
Overview
Like his Goetial comrades, Buer was once an angel that fell from grace after joining Lucifer's rebellion against God and Heaven. Given his appearance, he was likely of the Cherubim order and was among the angels that arranged the stars into constellations.
After his fall, he became a Great President of Hell with fifty legions of demons under his command. He appears when the Sun is in Sagittarius. He teaches natural and moral philosophy, logic, and the virtues of all herbs and plants, and is also capable of healing all infirmities (especially of men) and bestows good familiars.
Buer is also revealed to be Sparda's mentor when it came to discussions regarding philosophies and moral compasses. He taught the young knight about natural and moral philosophy as well as moral codes unique to a type individual's character. It is likely from Buer that Sparda developed some of his great wisdom which then grew overtime without more of Buer's teachings.
