Rahovart

According to the summary in Collin de Plancy’s Dictionnaire Infernal (which cites an earlier moralité attributed to Durzel), Rahovart is presented as a companion of Satan and an infernal agent responsible for certain torments. The available sources do not provide a fuller origin narrative, genealogical details, or a broader mythic biography beyond this attribution.

The historical sources summarized in the Dictionnaire Infernal provide no detailed physical description; as noted in the secondary summaries, "little is known about the demon himself." Modern game and fiction uses supply visual depictions, but those are later creative reuses and not described in the traditional sources cited.

Per the Dictionnaire Infernal's summary of Durzel’s account, Rahovart is credited with tormenting "evil, rich misers and old curmudgeons," is charged with avalanches and "ghostly torment," and is said to most easily possess the elderly. The tradition reports that if an elderly person dies while under Rahovart's influence, their souls are collected into Rahovart's basket until the day of judgment. Modern adaptations reuse the name in varied fictional roles (game bosses, pain-elemental, trickster), but those are creative repurposings rather than continuations of the historical account.
