Origin[]

Amon is a demon from the Ars Goetia, the first part of the Lesser Key of Solomon, an infamous grimoire detailing demonology. He is the seventh spirit listed among the 72 demons and holds the rank of Marquis. In terms of appearance, Amon is typically depicted as a wolf with a serpent's tail, though he can also take the form of a human with a raven's head beset with sharp canine teeth. His form often conveys an aura of ferocity, intelligence, and mysticism, reflecting his dual nature as both a fearsome entity and a wise, cunning spirit.

Amon’s primary powers revolve around reconciling people who have quarreled, revealing the past and future, and finding lost or hidden things. He is known as a demon of love and friendship and is capable of inciting emotions and desires, making him a potent figure in matters of conflict and passion. When summoned, Amon often acts as a mediator or advisor, using his insight to guide his summoner in resolving disputes or uncovering secrets. His knowledge of both human relationships and hidden truths makes him a respected but cautious ally in the spirual world, as his insights come with a price and often reveal difficult truths.
