Dictionnaire Infernal
Agares is described in grimoires such as the "Livre des Esperitz" (as Agarat), the "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum", the "Lesser Key of Solomon", and the "Dictionnaire Infernal" as a duke "under the power of the east," an "old man, riding upon a crocodile, and carrying a hawk on his fist," who teaches languages, stops and retrieves runaway persons, causes earthquakes, and grants noble titles.
