The Chronicle

Sitri, also known as Bitru or Sytry, is the twelfth demon and spirit of the Ars Goetia. He is a Great Arch-Prince of Hell (or sometimes Viscount) with sixty legions of demons under his command.

Description

He is depicted as a leopard with the wings of a griffin, but at the request of the conjurer can take the form of a very beautiful or Handsome man. He can force men and women to love one another and make them appear naked if the conjurer desires. He can also reveal the secrets of women, often mocking them.

Overview

Sitri, alongside Beleth and Yomyael, were a group of a fallen angels that after their banishment from Heaven formed an evil trinity of demons, who reigned over parts of Europe and Asia, offering Faustian Bargains to everyone who asked. They also aided the Asiatic people in battle "for as long as men had placed faith in the dark behind stars". One of these famous bargains was Peter the Great of Russia, who summoned the three demons in order to defeat the Swedes in Great Northern War. In return Beleth and two other demons demanded three things: his future sons, his heart and his eternal soul.

Sitri was also seen aiding Vergil at Dantalion's request in his bid to escape Hell though what Vergil was unaware of at the time was this was all part of an elaborate ploy in bringing forth the Apocalypse which was set in motion when Vergil was able to escape. Sitri would reunite with Vergil when the son of Sparda severed his ties with his family and allies after discovering he was the seal to break Lucifer free from his tomb. Sitri feigned loyalty to Vergil until his treachery was discovered after Vergil killed Sin herself who was revealed to be the final seal instead of initially believing that she is attempting to break the final seal.

Sitri was able to evade Vergil's wrath and appeared as one of the fallen angels that will release the Euphrates Army from the Pit alongside his cohorts Yomyael and Beleth on Satan's orders.
