Andrealphus is presented in goetic catalogues within the Ars Goetia (a 17th‑century compilation of spirit descriptions and offices) as one of the named spirits of that corpus. The provided sources treat him as an entry in that ritual taxonomy—given an office (Marquis) and a number of legions (30)—rather than as the subject of a mythic birth narrative.
Multiple modern summaries of the Ars Goetia entry describe Andrealphus as appearing initially in the form of a peacock and later assuming human shape. The original grimoire wording is not reproduced in the supplied excerpts, but several secondary goetic summaries (Thelemapedia, lovespells) report the peacock→human sequence.
Summaries in the goetic tradition attribute to Andrealphus instruction in geometry, mensuration, astronomy and other mathematical sciences; some sources add that he 'makes men very subtle and cunning, and good disputers.' He is also described as capable of shape transformation—appearing as a peacock and later taking human form, and able to transform a man into bird shape. He is listed as governing thirty legions, indicating command over subordinate spirits in the grimoire hierarchy.

Andraemon
Andraemon (Ancient Greek: Ἀνδραίμων, Andraímon) is a personal name borne by several mortal figures in Greek myth and genealogical tradition. The name appears across variant accounts as husbands, fathers, kings, colonists, and a suitor; it functions within heroic genealogies and local foundation stories rather than as a supernatural being.
Andragius
Andragius (also attested Androgius) is a legendary king of the Britons recorded in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s pseudo‑historical regnal lists and later compilations. He appears as a node in a constructed sequence of rulers—not described as a supernatural being—and is principally attested by name, genealogical relationships, and position in succession.
Andras
Andras is a named infernal spirit from the Western grimoire/Goetic tradition, described as a hostile officer who sows discord and is dangerous to conjurers; modern roleplaying adaptations recast him as a demon raised from murderous souls with a purpose to destroy mortals.
Andrast
Andrast is a Sindarin place-name in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, denoting a long coastal cape or peninsula in southwest Gondor (also identified with Ras Morthil). It is a geographic toponym recorded in Tolkien's maps and scholarly indexes rather than a sentient or supernatural being.
Andraste
Andraste (also attested as Andrasta or Andate in some passages) is a named supernatural figure invoked by the Iceni in the Roman account of Boudica's rebellion (AD 60). Recorded by Dio Cassius as a recipient of Boudica's rallying prayer, Andraste functions in surviving sources as a tutelary war figure associated with victory and the preservation of liberty.
Andrea Beaumont (the Phantasm)
Andrea Beaumont is a fictional human character in the DC Animated Universe who, as the masked vigilante known as the Phantasm in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993), stages a Death‑like avenger persona. Her apparent supernatural effects are produced by theatrical devices (not innate powers) and she functions narratively as a foil and dark parallel to Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Andrew the Apostle
Andrew the Apostle (Greek Ἀνδρέας, Latin Andreas) is one of the Twelve Apostles in the New Testament, a fisherman from Bethsaida, the brother of Simon Peter, described as the “first-called” who introduced others to Jesus. Post-biblical traditions depict him as an early missionary and founder of Christian communities (notably claims of missions to Thrace, Scythia, and founding the see of Byzantium) and as a martyr crucified at Patras.
Androgeos
Androgeos (Greek Ἀνδρόγεως, Latin Androgeus) is a personal name borne by mortal figures in classical Greek and Roman literary tradition, most notably a son of Minos and Pasiphaë whose death in mythic narratives precipitates Athenian tribute to Crete. A separate, less-detailed bearer of the name is listed as a Greek soldier present at the sack of Troy in some sources.
Androgeus
Androgeus is a mythic human name borne by at least two distinct figures in Classical Greek and Roman tradition: a Cretan prince, son of Minos and Pasiphaë, famed for athletic victories and whose death in some accounts is linked to the Marathonian/Cretan bull; and Androgeos, a Greek soldier named by Virgil in the Aeneid who, during the sack of Troy, mistakes Aeneas and his companions for fellow Greeks. Both are mortal figures woven into larger heroic and epic cycles rather than supernatural beings.
Androgynos (Judaism)
In rabbinic Jewish literature, the androgynos (Hebrew: אַנְדְּרוֹגִינוֹס, ʾandərôg̲înôs) is a human juridical category for a person who possesses both male and female sexual characteristics. It is treated as a special halakhic classification that raises questions about which gendered legal obligations, prohibitions, and ritual statuses apply.
Androktasiai
Androktasiai (Ἀνδροκτασίαι, sing. Androktasia) are plural personifications in ancient Greek poetry that embody manslaughters or the slayings of men in battle. They appear chiefly as named offspring of Eris in Hesiod's Theogony and as elements in Homeric/Hesiodic ekphrasis (the Shield of Heracles), functioning as poetic embodiments of wartime slaughter rather than individualized cult-deities.
Andromache
Andromache (Ancient Greek Ἀνδρομάχη) is a human figure of ancient Greek literary tradition: the wife of Hector of Troy who exemplifies virtuous fidelity, ritual mourning, and the losses suffered by women in war. She appears in Homeric epic and later classical sources as grieving spouse, captive concubine after Troy's fall, and later queen in post-war narratives.
