Orias

Oriax

Appears as

A lion with a serpent's tail, riding a mighty horse, holding two great hissing serpents in his right hand.

Office

Teaches the virtues of the stars and the mansions of the planets, transforms men, and gives dignities, prelacies and the favour of friends and foes.

Notes

The catalogue's astrologer: the “mansions of the planets” is a term carried over unchanged from learned astrology into demonology.

Apocrypha

The wiki identifies Orias with the Egyptian god Osiris and links him to the sin of pride, second only to Lucifer's. He is listed as a subordinate of the king Ziminiar, is said to dwell in the Malebolge, and rules armies of succubi and incubi. A curious aside claims that with every day reckoned as his, the demon's power halves while he draws half again closer to Heaven.
