Murmur

Murmus · Murmux

Appears as

A warrior with a ducal crown, riding a gryphon; his ministers go before him with trumpets.

Office

Teaches philosophy perfectly, and constrains the souls of the deceased to appear and answer questions.

Notes

Latin murmur — “a murmur, a droning.” The catalogue's chief necromancer; before the fall he was partly of the Order of Thrones and partly of Angels.

Apocrypha

Before his fall he bore the name Matthias and held high authority as a Great Duke within the choir of Thrones. Joining Lucifer's rebellion, he is said in one account to have taken a griffin from the Garden of Eden as his war-steed, and in another to have severed the eagle portion of a cherub's body with his sword, the limb corrupted by his malice becoming his mount. After the defeat in the War in Heaven he fell with the rest and was appointed Great Duke and Earl in Hell's monarchy, his demonic griffin remaining at his side for battle.
