Caim is a named infernal intelligence attested in modern compilations of Western grimoire-derived materials. In secondary occult summaries he is listed among Goetic/solomonic demons, variably called Caim, Camio, or Caym, and is described as a ranked officer associated with imparting knowledge about animals and nature.

Origin

In the modern summaries cited here, Caim appears in catalogues derived from the Goetic material associated with the Lesser Key of Solomon; some compilations describe him as having once belonged to an angelic order before being listed among infernal beings. These claims are presented in secondary sources (occult encyclopedias and demon-name lists) rather than in the primary grimoire texts quoted in the supplied excerpts.

Appearance

The supplied sources do not provide a consistent primary-source visual description. Modern web summaries emphasize rank and function (e.g., "President") rather than detailed iconography; no authoritative corporeal form is given in the excerpts available.

Abilities

Secondary occult entries attribute to Caim the capacity to teach or give understanding of animals and nature, and list him with a formal rank (often styled a President) commanding legions of spirits. A demon-name compilation also tags him with thematic labels such as "Animism" and "Deception," presented there as descriptive tags rather than quoted canonical powers. These descriptions come from modern summaries of Goetic rosters rather than cited primary ritual texts in the provided material.
