Origin

No mythic or narrative origin for Pruflas is provided in the supplied sources. The name appears as an entry in demonological and grimoire-related lists reproduced by later compilations and popular sites; modern references associate the entry with the bureaucratic cataloguing practice of early modern European grimoires rather than with an origin tale within vernacular folklore.

Appearance

The supplied materials do not include a consistent textual description of Pruflas's physical form. A modern blog post reproduces or discusses a sigil attributed to Pruflas, but no anatomical or visionary description is given in the excerpts provided.

Abilities

Available sources record only rank and command statistics for Pruflas: modern summaries variously call Pruflas a 'king,' 'high prince,' or 'grand duke' and attribute command of either 22 or 26 legions. The excerpts do not specify particular faculties, services promised to conjurers, or behavioral tendencies toward humans; such functional details are absent from the provided material.
