Rahovart

Rahovart or Lord Rahovart is Satan's companion. He is

referenced in in Durzel's Morality a Renaissance book

which was printed at Rouen and not widely known, infact

little is know about Rahovart himself. In Durzel's undated

account, which plays out to the end of the 15th century he is

atributed with tormenting evil and stingy rich folks and old

curmudgeons, he is also charged with avalanches and

ghostly torment.

A powerful floating demon he is often mentioned as a old

giant with a main of long black hair, he carries a basket

that contains the souls of dead curmudgeons tormenting the

evil mens souls fom time to time with his spirey walking

stick called Rakshasa (translation unknown.) There is no

mention of him moving about on road sides, or attacking

travelers, but rather appearing at deathbeds and in great

homes.

The elderly are easiest subject to posession by this sort of

demon, and if the person should die under the demonic effect

their souls are taken to Rahovarts basket untill the day of

judgment.

His mention in constant proximity to Satan shows his rank in

hell as being quite high, and his appearance within the home

without invitation surely combine to make him the most

dangerous incarnation of a high demon.
