Berith is a demon in the series.
History [ ]
According to the writings in The Lesser Key of Solomon , Berith is the twenty-eighth demonic spirit listed in the Ars Goetia . He is a great duke of Hell with twenty-six legions of demons under his command. He is depicted as a knight or soldier wearing red armor and a golden crown; according to other grimoires, his skin is also red. He rides a gigantic red horse and burns those without manners.
In order to speak with him, the conjurer must wear a silver ring and hold it before their face. He gives true answers to all things past, present and future as long as he is asked, but when not answering questions he is a liar. He can turn any metal into gold, give dignities and confirm them. As an angel, Berith was prince of the order of cherubim .
As a demon, he serves as a master of ceremonies, duke and grand pontiff in Hell and notarizes pacts with the devil .
Berith was important to some alchemists, who believed he had the power to transmute all base metals into gold. He was tricky to conjure, however, and had to be summoned with magic rings bearing his seal. He was known for making great promises, but also for being a great liar. In Michaelis' classification of demons, he tempts people with murder, contention, strife and blasphemy, and his adversary is St. Barnabas.
Berith may be derived from Baal-Berith , a god worshiped in Canaan before he came to be viewed as a demon under Christian demonology.
