Office

Governs the waters and guides ships of war, makes the sea rough and stormy, and makes men die in three days by putrefying, worm-filled wounds.

Notes

The catalogue's only mermaid; at the magician's word he can likewise heal the very wounds he inflicts.

Apocrypha

The wiki treats Vepar as female, a Duchess as much as a Duke, and guesses she belonged to the choir of Virtues before falling with Lucifer's rebels; it was Lucifer himself who raised her to her infernal title. She is likened to the mermaids and to Scylla and Charybdis of Greek legend.

The Chronicle

Vepar is a strong Great Duke of Hell, and rules twenty-nine legions of demons.

Description

Vepar is depicted as a mermaid.

Overview

Vepar was once of the angels that resided in Heaven only to fall after rebelling against the Almighty with Lucifer and his fellow renegade angels. Before she fell it is unknown which choir she was a part of though it is believed to be the Virtues.

After her fall from Heaven and into Hell, she was elevated in the position of Great Duke/Duchess of the Inferno by Lucifer. As one of the seventy-two demons of the Ars Goetia, Vepr governs the waters and guides armoured ships laden with ammunition and weapons; she can also make, if requested, the sea rough and stormy, and to appear full of ships.

Vepar can make men die in three days by putrefying sores and wounds, causing worms to breed in them, but if requested by the conjurer she can heal them immediately.
