Hauras: One of the 72 spirits that Solomon, according to
legend, shut up in a brass vessel and cast into a deep lake (or into
the sea). Formerly, as he confided to Solomon, Hauras was a
mighty celestial power (but to which order he belonged he did not
say). He converses gladly about the creation of the world and
the fall of the angels. In Hell, where he is a great duke, he
appears in the form of a leopard but, on command of an exorcist,
will manifest in human shape. He gives true answers concerning
the past and the future. Under his sway, and ready to do his
bidding, are 36 legions of the damned. His sigil is shown in
Waite, The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts, p. 186. In
De Plancy, Dictionnaire Infernal (1863 ed.) he is pictured in
the shape of a man-leopard. (a)
Flauros,
Andras' henchman "who went straight for the kill."

beguileth in other busines, he gladlie talketh of the divinitie, and of
the creation of the world, and of the fall; he is constrained by divine
vertue, and so are all divels or spirits, to burne and destroie all the
conjurors adversaries. And if he be commanded, he suffereth the conjuror
