The Chronicle

Valefar

Valefar, also known as Valefor, Malaphar, Malephor, is a Duke of Hell and the sixth demon listed in the Ars Goetia.

Description

He is usually represented as a lion with the head of a man, or as a lion with the head of a donkey. He is also depicted as being utterly monstrous, with him having multiple lion limbs, a mighty mouth with a second one underneath, the ears of a donkey, and a devilish tail. If he is in astral form, he usually appears through a mirror.

Overview

Valefar is a fallen angel that fell from grace during Lucifer's rebellion against God and Heaven. After his fall, he became a Duke of Hell commanding ten legions of demons. He tempts people to steal and is in charge of a good relationship among thieves. He leads people into thievery and leaves them at the gallows.

He is considered a good familiar by his associates "until they are caught in the trap". He collects human greed and manifests it as glittering treasure. He also teaches loyalty and the art of manipulation and teaches others how to receive that which they so desire. According to the Grand Grimoire, he is a direct subordinate of Sargatanas.
