Belial's name is the oldest in this stretch: in the Hebrew Bible beli-ya'al appears as a common noun meaning "without worth", whence expressions such as "sons of Belial"; in Second Temple literature and in the Second Letter to the Corinthians it already functions as a proper name. The grimoire makes him a King, a solar grade with command over other spirits, and assigns him eighty legions, among the highest figures in the catalogue. He manifests as two exceedingly beautiful angels in a chariot of fire and speaks with a pleasant voice. He was asked for offices and favours; the text warns that he demands offerings.
