Agrat Bat Mahlat

**Agrat Bat Mahlat**, also known as **Igrat** or **Ryukia Zerizion**, is a demon and succubus in Jewish mythology and although female, is ranked as the queen of the demons who takes the form of a beautiful woman that comes to men in their dreams to seduce them into sexual intercourse.

## Description

She is a queen of the demons and one of four angels of sacred prostitution, who mates with the archangel Samael. Her succubi sisters are Lilith, Naamah, and Eisheth Zenunim. In the Rabbinic literature of Yalḳuṭ Ḥadash, on the eves of Wednesday and of the Sabbath, she is "the dancing roof-demon" who haunts the air with her chariot and her train of eighteen myriads of messengers of destruction. She dances while Lilith howls. She is also "the mistress of the sorceresses" who communicated magic secrets to Amemar, a Jewish sage.

## History

### Genesis

In the beginning Agrat was a human female created by God alongside Naamah and Eisheth to be potential mates for Adam in case he rejected Eve. When Adam proposed to all of them, they rejected Adam's advances with only Eve accepting. Agrat and her sisters then left Adam and Eve to their endeavors and were likely escorted out of the Garden of Eden by Michael. After the War in Heaven and the Fall of Man, Agrat became a queen of demons as a consort to Samael.

### Plague upon Man

While being a queen of demons Agrat also has influence over the Earthly kingdoms of man, moreover where the Seven Princes of Hell were exerting their own influence over the corrupt kingdoms of man by having the mortals erect effigies that acted as conduits for their power. As per the laws of Hell, Agrat was given a land that was open yet not conquered by a demon king, specifically one that a demon king did not encompass his power over.

Seeing the ferocity and power of the Turok-Han, the ancient vampires created by Lilith, Agrat wished to have a horde of these abominations for herself to serve her. Lilith denied her request resulting in several quarrels between the two. Asmodeus suggested that Lilith would give Agrat the Rabisu as a substitute and in return Agrat would give half of the souls devoured the Rabisu to Lilith as compensation due to the Rabisu being, by proxy, of Lilith's creation as well. The two reached a mutual agreement on this.

During the early days of the Dark Reign, Agrat Bat Mahlat ruled Salamanca (western quarter), Naamah over Damascus (eastern quarter), Eisheth Zenunim ruled the lands of Egypt (southern quarter), while Lilith ruled Rome (northern quarter). The southern quarter is controversial, since it is assigned to a country (Egypt) instead of to a city, and the name of the ruler is unclear, usually identified as Mahalat (the daughter of Agrat) or Rahab.

### Kabbalah

Agrat Bat Mahlat was said to have mated with King David for a night, visiting him in a dream, conceived three children by him. The first of the cambion offspring is named Adad who became a king of demons, and a king to even yet more unnamed demons. The second are two daughters named Oholah and Oholibah, who would become the Sisters of Prostitution and the wives of Solomon. She also fathered a child with the demon king Belial.

According to legend, after Naamah failed to seduce Solomon into releasing her son Abezethibou, she requested the aid of Agrat as she could not penetrate the holy barrier that surrounded Solomon's temple nor tear down the king's iron will. Agrat obliged by sending the daughters she begot with David, Solomon's father with the daughters being Solomon's half sisters, to seduce the king into marrying them, which he did.

Agrat would then direct her daughters to corrupt Jerusalem and Samaria to sin and depravity as Babylon devours the two great city with its sinful ways, mainly after Solomon lost his way with God and communication between them was severed because of Solomon's descent into sin. The spiritual intervention of Hanina ben Dosa and Rabbi Abaye curbed her malevolent powers over humans.
