Seal of the spirit — Decarabia
Seal of the spirit
Appears as

A star in a pentacle at first, then a man's shape.

Office

Knows the virtues of birds and precious stones, and makes birds fly before the exorcist, sing and drink as familiars.

Notes

The only spirit whose first form is a pure geometric sign: a star in a pentacle, as if his own seal had come alive. In Weyer's Latin he is plain Carabia, “King and Earl” — titles lost in the English translations.

Apocrypha

Before the fall Decarabia is placed among the Virtues or, more likely, the Ophanim — the latter suggested by his strange stellar form; he fell with Lucifer and bears the wiki epithets "Star Demon" and "False Constellation." The wiki claims that the pentagram shape he assumed became the very emblem of malevolence and of Satan himself, and speculates that by it he pointedly severed all ties with God and Heaven.

The Chronicle

Decarabia (or Carabia) is the sixty-ninth spirit listed in the Goetia and a Great Marquis of Hell.

Description

When summoned, Decarabia appears as a pentagram star, although he will take the form of a man if the conjurer requests it.

He knows the properties and values of all herbs and precious stones, and can transform into any type of bird to sing and fly for his conjurer, sometimes acting as his animal familiar.

Overview

Decarabia was once an angel residing in Heaven until he rebelled with Lucifer during the civil war. He was possibly of the Virtue order of angels or the Ophanim though the latter is more likely given his bizarre appearance. After he fell, Decarabia was appointed as a Great Marquis of Hell with thirty legions of demons under his command.

Since the introduction of sin, Decarabia has assumed the form of a pentagram star which became the symbolic insignia for malevolence and Satan himself. However, it could also likely mean that he leans towards the more paganistic section of belief, completely cutting ties with God and Heaven and thus Abrahamic faith even though he himself is part of Abrahamic faith.
