Bifrons does not have a mythic cosmogonic origin in the supplied sources; instead he appears as an entry in learned catalogues of spirits compiled by medieval and early‑modern demonologists and magicians. The sources place him within the taxonomy of named goetic spirits in texts such as the Lesser Key of Solomon (where he appears in the numbered list of spirits) and Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, and later reference works (e.g., Dictionnaire Infernal and modern encyclopedias) repeat that cataloged placement rather than offering a narrative origin.
The provided summaries do not supply a reliable, detailed physical description. Grimoire‑style listings that mention Bifrons (as in the Lesser Key and Pseudomonarchia summaries cited) typically emphasize rank, duties, and powers rather than full iconography; the available excerpts therefore do not permit a confident reconstruction of his visage or traditional depiction (uncertain).
Summaries in modern reference sources attribute to Bifrons the capacity to teach sciences and arts and to instruct in the virtues of gems, woods, and herbs. One modern summary also ascribes to him the ability to change or move corpses from their original graves to other places. These functions are reported in the context of grimoire entries that list powers a conjurer might compel; the exact wording and the scope of these abilities vary in the brief modern summaries available in the supplied materials.
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.
Bidhi Nongdamba
A classical Meitei language literary work that explores themes of human destiny and divine intervention. (Note: - Power tier: Lesser (Bidhi Nongdamba is a literary work, not a supernatural being with cosmic or deity-level powers) - Appearance: Remove as there is no physical description of Bidhi Nongdamba - Abil)
Bieggolmai / Bieggagállis
Bieggolmai (also attested as Bieggagállis) is named in available sources as the wind god of Sámi shamanism. The cited material identifies the entity's role with wind but provides no further mythic narratives, rituals, or descriptive detail.
Bienaimé
Bienaimé is a French-language family name attested in historical and contemporary records. Sources identify it solely as a surname borne by various individuals and as a string used in modern online personal handles; there is no evidence in the provided materials of any supernatural or folkloric character associated with the name.
Bienor
Bienor is attested in two distinct registers in the supplied sources: (1) as a personal name borne by four minor characters in Greek mythology (no narratives or attributes provided), and (2) as the designation of a Solar System small body, 54598 Bienor, a centaur-class minor planet whose photometry has been studied and modeled by astronomers.
Bieresel
A German household/local spirit associated with beer, breweries, inns and cellars, the Bieresel alternates between helping by performing chores in exchange for a nightly portion of beer and causing mischief or harm when neglected; some regional variants in Thuringia and former German‑speaking Bohemia depict street‑roaming, aufhocken behavior.
Bies
Bies (Slavic: Polish Bies; Russian бес [ˈbʲɛs]; Slovene/Montenegrin bes; Bosnian/Croatian bijes) is a term from Slavic linguistic and mythic contexts for an evil spirit that, especially after Christianization, was commonly equated with the Christian devil or demons. The lexical field of the word also survives in several South and West Slavic languages with the meaning 'rage' or 'fury', reflecting a conceptual overlap between malign spirit agency and overwhelming affective states.
Big Barda
Big Barda is a fictional superheroine appearing in DC Comics, created by Jack Kirby as part of his Fourth World / New Gods saga. She is a New God born on Apokolips, trained as a warrior at Granny Goodness' orphanage, groomed to lead the Female Furies, and later defects to join and marry Scott Free (Mister Miracle), serving as a hero on Earth and New Genesis.
Big Boss (Metal Gear)
Big Boss is a fictional title and central character within the Metal Gear video game series, designating a legendary soldier and commander whose actions found paramilitary states (Outer Heaven, Zanzibar Land) and whose identity functions as both an individual and a transferable mantle within the series' narrative.
Bigfoot (Sasquatch)
A North American folkloric large, hairy, bipedal humanoid reported chiefly from the forests of the Pacific Northwest. The figure functions as a 'wild man' type in regional and popular traditions and is documented primarily through sightings, footprint casts, media, and a subculture of enthusiasts rather than accepted biological evidence.
Bigthan and Teresh
Bigthan and Teresh are named human court officials—described as eunuchs or chamberlains—in the Book of Esther (Esther 2:21–23). They conspired to assassinate King Ahasuerus; Mordecai exposed the plot, the conspirators were apprehended and executed, and the incident becomes a pivotal narrative device in Esther's account and later commentary.
Bihram (Bihram Rabba)
Bihram, often called Bihram Rabba ('Bihram the Great'), is an uthra (celestial being) in Mandaean cosmology who presides over the masbuta (baptism) and is invoked in Mandaean masbuta prayers; he also appears as an agent in mythic narratives such as the Book of John.
