Zaebos appears in the context of European demonological catalogues that systematize named infernal beings into ranks and offices. The primary attestation given in the provided materials is a Dictionnaire Infernal-style entry that lists Zaebos among titled infernal officers (Grand Count / duke). The sources do not supply a biographical origin myth, creation story, or narrative account of Zaebos's emergence; he functions in the documents as a named officer within an ordered infernal hierarchy rather than as the subject of a fuller mythic tale.
Sources consistently describe Zaebos as appearing in the form of a handsome or gallant soldier riding a crocodile. This mounted-soldier image is the distinctive visual attribute recorded in the cited demonological summaries and modern reference entries.
Primary documentary claims identify Zaebos's status and role within an infernal hierarchy: he is described as a Grand Count or duke and associated with command or rank among infernal legions in later summaries of the grimoire tradition. A modern adaptation (Megami Tensei / fandom summary) attributes additional traits — ruling thirty legions and causing mutual love between men and women and a pacifist disposition — but those specific functional powers are not corroborated by the Dictionnaire Infernal citation supplied and therefore remain an adaptation-specific claim rather than established demonological detail.
