Zephon |
Xaphan - One of the apostate angels, now a demon of the 2nd
rank. When Satan
and his angels rebelled, Xaphan
joined them. Warmly welcomed because of his inventive mind, he
suggested to the rebels that they set fire to Heaven; but, before
the idea could be carried out, Xaphan
and his colleagues were hurled to the bottom of the abyss, where Xaphan
is (and presumably will be) forever engaged in fanning the embers in
the furnaces. His emblem is a pair of bellows. For a
likeness of Xaphan
see De Plancy, Dictionnaire
Infernal, 1863 ed.
(a)
Xaphan, a
second-order demon, kept the fires of Hell stoked and blazing. At the
time of the angels' rebellion, it was Xaphan's suggestion to set Heaven on
fire. (c) |
