Furcas
Furcas
A cruel old man with a long beard and hoary head, riding a pale horse with a sharp weapon in his hand.
Teaches philosophy, astrology, rhetoric, logic, cheiromancy and pyromancy perfectly, in all their parts.
The only Knight in the whole catalogue — hence his seal alone is cast in “steel,” apart from every other rank. The name is Latin furca, “pitchfork.”
The wiki counts Furcas among the oldest demons in Hell and notes that he is the Goetia's only knight, though he does not belong to the Knights of Hell created by Lucifer. He is nonetheless credited with training some of those knights in swordsmanship, chivalry and a code of honor they observe to this day. He has no interest in conquering the human world and takes part only because Hell's laws and his dark masters compel him.
The Chronicle
Furcas is the fiftieth spirit and a Knight of Hell, which is a rank that is unique to him.
Description
Furcas appears to the summoner in the form of a cruel old man with a long beard and a hoary head, riding upon a pale-coloured horse, with a sharp weapon in his hand.
Overview
Furcas is one of the oldest demons in Hell and is the only member of the Ars Goetia with the rank of knight. Despite being a knight he is not part of the traditional Knights of Hell who were created by Lucifer. Regardless, he is considered a noble as he rules 20 legions of demons and teaches Philosophy, Astronomy (Astrology to some authors), Rhetoric, Logic, Chiromancy and Pyromancy, in all their parts, and perfectly.
Furcas was also said to have trained some of the knights of Hell in the art of swordsmanship as well as chivalry and a Knight's code of honor something which they abide by to this day. Unlike a majority of Hell's denizens and its lords, Furcas is completely disinterested in taking over the human world but is forced to since he is bound by Hell's laws and the orders of his dark masters.
Furcas is a stern teacher on a pale horse. He reads hands, fire — and you.
