A mighty and terrible King with 85 legions; the royal rank ties him to the Sun and to command over other spirits. His name also circulates as Bileth and Byleth, with no settled etymology. He appears as a rider on a pale horse, preceded by trumpets and strident music, an image that echoes the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse though the text establishes no such filiation. Here the operative warning is explicit: he arrives furious, and the manuscript orders the conjurer to receive him with a hazel wand in hand, force him into the triangle and hold firm until he obeys. His sole office is to procure love until the summoner is satisfied.
