The etymology of his name seems to be the Latin word 'vinea', vine, that is also the name given to an ancient war machine made of wood and covered with leather and branches, used to overthrow walls. This demon is portrayed as a lion holding a snake in his hand and riding a black horse. He can tell present, past, and future, discover witches and hidden things, create storms and make the water rough by means of them, and also bring down walls and build towers. (King/Count) Vine (also Viné, Vinea) is an Earl and also a King of Hell, commanding 36 legions of demons.He "is strong, powerful and appears with three heads the first is like a bull, the second like a man, and the third like a ram the tail of a serpent, and from his mouth issue flames of fire." Also, he sits upon an infernal dragon, holds a lance with a banner and, amongst the Legions of Amaymon, Asmoday governs seventy two legions of inferior spirits.

Asmodeus (also Ashmodai, Asmodeus, Asmody, Asmoday) appears as the king 'Asmoday' in the Ars Goetia, where he is said to have a seal in gold and is listed as number thirty-two according to respective rank.Before him, there can be heard many trumpets sounding. Purson is depicted as a man with the face of a lion, carrying a ferocious viper in his hand, and riding a bear. Taking a human or aerial body he answers truly of all secret and divine things of Earth and the creation of the world. He knows of hidden things, can find treasures, and tells past present, and future. Purson (also Curson, Pursan) is a Great King of Hell, being served and obeyed by twenty-two legions of demons.Beleth gives all the love of men and women he is commanded until the conjurer is satisfied.Then, Beleth will obey and do all that he is commanded, but the conjurer must be respectful and pay homage unto Beleth due to his rank, and hold a silver ring in the middle finger of the left hand against his face, as it is the use of hellish kings and princes before Amaymon. If he does not obey, the conjurer must rehearse all threats the conjurations said.The conjurer must be brave, and holding a hazel wand in his hand must draw a triangle by striking towards the South, East, and upwards, and command Beleth into it by means of some conjurations. When appearing he looks very fierce to frighten the conjurer or to see if he is courageous.According to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum Noah's son Ham was the first in invoking him after the flood, and wrote a book on Mathematics with his help. He rides a warhorse, and all kind of music is heard before him, according to most authors on demonology and the most known grimoires. Beleth (also spelled Bilet, Bileth and Byleth) is a mighty and terrible king of Hell, who has eighty-five legions of demons under his command.Before him often goes a host of demons with the shape of men, playing trumpets, cymbals, and any other sort of musical instrument. Paimon is depicted as a man with an effeminate face, wearing a precious crown, and riding a dromedary.If Paimon is cited alone, and offering or sacrifice must be done, and he will accept it then two kings called Beball (Bebal or Labal) and Abalam (Abalim) will go to him together with other spirits, often twenty-five legions but these other spirits do not always come unless the conjurer calls upon them.He gives good familiars, dignities and confirms them, and binds men to the conjurer's will. Paimon teaches all arts, philosophies and sciences, and secret things he can reveal all mysteries of the Earth, wind, and water, what the mind is, and where it is, and everything the conjurer wants to know.When a conjurer invokes this demon he must look towards the northwest, the direction of Paimon's house, and when Paimon appears he must be allowed to ask the conjurer what he wishes and be answered, in order to obtain the same from him. He has a great voice and roars as soon as he comes, speaking in this manner for a while until the conjurer compels him and then he answers clearly the questions he is asked. Paimon (also Paimonia, Paymon) is one of the Kings of Hell, more obedient to Lucifer than other kings are, and has two hundred legions of demons under his rule.Bael teaches the art of invisibility, and may be the equivalent of Baal or Baalzebub, one of the Seven princes of Hell. He also speaks in a raucous, but well-formed voice, and commands 66 legions. He has three heads: a toad, a man, and a cat.
