Andras | Grand Marquis of Hell

Andras is one of the most violent and dangerous demon. He is a Grand Marquis of Hell, appearing as a humanoid with a winged angel’s body and the head of an owl or raven, riding upon a strong black wolf and wielding a sharp and bright sword flourished aloft in his hand. He was also responsible for sowing discord, and commanded 30 infernal legions. 

He is the 63rd of the 72 spirits of Solomon.Andras was considered to be a highly dangerous demon, who could kill the conjuring magician and his assistants if precautions were not taken. A misstep outside the magical protective circle could mean instant death for the conjuretors, and Andras was always trying to lure them out.

In certain demonology it is suggested that Flauros is his servant. He is actually very pleasant to those who are dedicated to Satan.

Andras was also believed to be very skilled in using people’s own anger against them, being able of infecting humans with uncontrollable dooming rage. For this reason, he was allegedly summoned quite often by military leaders, to use his abilities to incite wars that last for decades, redefining peoples and continents. In addition, due to the subtle nature of his work, Andras was supposedly extremely difficult to detect.
Collin de Plancy (1863) paraphrased,” Andras, who commands thirty legions, has the body of an angel and the head of an owl. He rides a black wolf and carries a saber. He can give advice on how to kill, and he can escalate quarrels and discord.”

S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1904) quoted,” The Sixty-third Spirit is Andras. He is a Great Marquis, appearing in the Form of an Angel with a Head like a Black Night Raven, riding upon a strong Black Wolf, and having a Sharp and Bright Sword flourished aloft in his hand. His Office is to sow Discords. If the Exorcist have not a care, he will slay both him and his fellows. He governeth 30 Legions of Spirits, and this is his Seal, etc.”Johann Wier (1583) quoted,” Andras is a great marquesse, and is seene in an angels shape with a head like a blacke night raven, riding upon a blacke and a verie strong woolfe, flourishing with a sharpe sword in his hand, he can kill the maister, the servant, and all assistants, he is author of discords, and ruleth thirtie legions.”
