The manuscript gives Marchosias no antecedent, but it does give him a biography: he belonged to the Order of Dominions and told the operator that he hoped to return to the Seventh Throne after twelve hundred years, a detail that makes him one of the few spirits in the book with any expectation of return. He is a Great and Mighty Marquis, a lunar grade, with thirty legions. What was asked of him was combat and truth: the text calls him a strong fighter and assures us that he answers without deceit. He appears as a winged she-wolf vomiting fire and, if commanded, takes the shape of a man.
