Valac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In demonology, Valac is the mighty Great President of Hell, having thirty (thirty-eight to other authors) legions of demons under his command. Valac is said to give true answers about hidden treasures; he reveals where serpents can be seen, and delivers them harmless to the magician. He is said to appear as a small poor boy with angel wings riding on a two-headed dragon.

[edit] In Modern Culture

  • Appearing as 'Ualac', Valac bedevils the comic book character Hellboy in the short story Hellboy: Box Full of Evil. He is controlled by a con-man wielding a pair of tongs formerly owned by Saint Dunstan. Ualac briefly became the Beast of the Apocalypse before being returned to Hell by both Hellboy and Astaroth, a much more powerful demon.

Other spellings: Ualac, Valak, Valax, Valu, Volac Valic.
