Buer

Buer appears in the corpus of Renaissance/early modern European demonological catalogues, most directly in the 16th-century grimoire tradition exemplified by the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. In those listings compilers arranged named spirits into hierarchical offices and military formations; Buer is recorded within that literary-infernal bureaucracy as holding the title of Great President of Hell. The supplied source material does not provide any earlier folkloric origin or pre-grimoire antecedents for the name.

The historical extracts supplied offer only a brief, partial comparison—an interrupted phrase referencing Chiron, the chief centaur of Greek myth—without a full canonical physical description from the primary grimoire text in these sources. Contemporary occult, fan, and gaming pages frequently portray Buer as a multi-legged leonine/goatlike hybrid (for example, informal internet depictions describe a five‑legged creature), but such vivid visualizations derive from modern secondary and derivative materials rather than from the quoted 16th‑century extract and should be treated as later iconography.

Within the provided sources the principal attested attribute is Buer's office and command: he is described as a 'Great President of Hell' who commands fifty legions of demons, indicating a role as a ranked commander within grimoire hierarchies. The supplied extracts do not reliably record specific taught arts, magical specializations, or other powers from the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum; modern pages attribute seasonal strengths and ritual correspondences, but those attributions are modern reconstructions and are not verified in the historical extracts given.
