Origin

Satanachia appears in the corpus of named infernal beings preserved in Grimoires and later occult compendia. He is attested primarily in summaries and catalogs of the Grand Grimoire tradition and appears alongside other grimoire nobles in later listings and blogs. Different sources place him under higher infernal principals such as Lucifer, Mammon, or Lucifuge, and the Grimoirium Verum-style schemata pair him with entities like Agaliarept as part of a hierarchical infernal command structure. The sources do not provide a mythic birth or cosmogonic origin beyond his functional role inside those grimoire hierarchies.

Appearance

The supplied sources do not give a consistent textual physical description. Modern derivative material and an occult blog reproduce a graphic 'Sigil of Satanachia,' suggesting a sigilic representation in contemporary occult practice, but no primary grimoire text among the provided materials supplies a detailed corporeal portrayal.

Abilities

Grimoire‑style summaries describe Satanachia as a high military officer who 'controls either forty‑five or fifty‑four legions of demons' (sources differ on the exact number) and who holds named subordinate spirits such as Pruflas/Pruslas, Aamon/Amon, and Barbatos; Astaroth is also listed under him in at least one summary. The Grand Grimoire is cited in modern summaries ascribing to him the power to 'subjugate all women and girls, and to do with them whatever he wishes.' Secondary and derivative sources (e.g., a game wiki) add attributes such as 'profound knowledge of all the planets,' but those specific claims are not attested in the primary grimoire excerpts cited and should be regarded as later elaborations.

Barbatos
Greater

Barbatos

Barbatos is a named spirit in European grimoire tradition, listed among the Seventy-Two spirits of The Lesser Key of Solomon and also appearing in the Grand Grimoire. He is given a ducal rank, commands legions of spirits, and is invoked in ceremonial contexts for knowledge, revelation of hidden things, and reconciliation.

Astaroth
Greater

Astaroth

Astaroth is a named adversarial spirit in Christian demonological literature, commonly catalogued as a high-ranking infernal officer (described in sources as a 'Great Duke' or 'Grand Duke' of Hell). The figure represents the Christian polemical reception of ancient Near Eastern goddess-names (Astarte/Ashtoreth) recast within narratives and demonological lists and appears in medieval legendary episodes as well as later occult imagery and modern popular culture.

Lucifer
Ancient

Lucifer

A multilayered figure whose core identity in the cited sources is the planet Venus as the brilliant morning star (Latin lucifer, 'light-bringer' / Hebrew hêlêl, 'shining one'). In later Jewish and especially Christian exegesis the Isaiah image Helel ben Shachar is reinterpreted as a mythic fall motif and becomes associated with a rebellious heavenly being identified with the adversary; this development overlays the earlier astronomical and poetic personification.

Agaliarept
Greater

Agaliarept

A named high-ranking spirit from post-medieval grimoire tradition, presented in the Grimoirium Verum and the Grand Grimoire as a commanding officer in a hierarchical host of spirits; credited with revealing secrets and commanding a legion, and cited in later printed occult imprints and modern fiction.
