Origin[]
Malphas is a prominent demon in the Ars Goetia, which is the first section of the Lesser Key of Solomon, a grimoire that details 72 demons and their abilities. He typically appears as a raven or in the form of a man. He often manifests as a raven before assuming a human form at the conjurer’s request.
Malphas is known for his ability to build strongholds, towers, and other structures. Conversely, he can also bring down or destroy the same. He has the power to reveal the hidden thoughts and intentions of others, exposing their plans or machinations.
Malphas is considered dangerous due to his deceptive nature. He is a master of trickery, and those who summon him are warned to be cautious, as he can turn against them if not properly appeased. He is known to lie, but he may still grant favors, particularly if sacrifices are made to him.
