Seal of the spirit — Leraje
Seal of the spirit
Appears as

An archer clad in green, carrying a bow and quiver.

Office

Causes great battles and contests, and makes wounds made by arrows putrefy.

Notes

The green archer is tied to Sagittarius; a spirit of festering arrow-wounds reflects the pre-modern terror of wound infection.

Apocrypha

Little is recorded of Leraje's heavenly past: his choir is unnamed, but he is thought to have fought as an archer already during the War in Heaven, giving covering fire to the rebel angels. Some authors link him to the zodiac sign of Sagittarius.

The Chronicle

Leraje. (Art by Satoshi Matsuura)

Leraje is a mighty Great Marquis of Hell who has thirty legions of demons under his power.

Description

He is depicted as a gallant and handsome archer clad in green, carrying a bow and quiver.

Overview

Leraje was once an angel residing in Heaven though it is unspecified which choir he was a member of. Nonetheless, he, like the other Goetia demons, joined Lucifer during his war against Heaven and was cast out for his crimes. His occupation as an archer may have also been present before he fell from grace but only during Heaven's civil war where he provided cover support for his fellow rebel angels.

Upon being cast into Hell, Leraje was elevated to the rank of a Great Marquis and given thirty legions of demons to rule over. He causes great battles and disputes, and makes gangrene wounds caused by arrows. Some authors say this demon belongs to the zodiacal sign of Sagittarius.
