Meresin - a fallen angel, chief of the aerial powers, as in
Paradise Lost. In Camfield,
A Theological Discourse on Angels, Meresin
(spelt Miririm)
is one of the 4 angels of revelation - which would make him a holy
angel; however, in Heywood, The Hierarchy of the Blessed Angels,
he is lord of thunder and lightening in Hell - which, presumably,
would make him one of the damned.

In Barrett, The Magus I,
Meririm is identified as the evil power whom Paul in Ephesians
calls "the prince of the power of the air" (i.e. Satan).
Barrett claims that Meririm is prince over angels of whom
Revelation speaks and "to whom is given to hurt the earth and the
sea....he is the meridian devil, a boiling spirit, a devil ranging
in the south."
