**Aamon** is a Great Marquis of Hell and the seventh of the 72 Goetic demons of the Ars Goetia, he governs forty infernal legions and is the younger blood-brother of Amaymon. His personality primarily embodies the sin of Wrath.

He serves as a Marquis of the Crossroads, Personal Assistant to Astaroth, and Infernal General under Satanachia. He takes great pride in his military epithets including Lord of War, Life, Witchcraft and Necromancy and High Priest of Fertility.

## Overview

Aamon commands forty infernal legions, as specified by the Dictionnaire Infernal by Collin de Plancy, and is one of the four personal assistants of Astaroth. He is the demon of life and reproduction. The seventh spirit mentioned in the Ars Goetia, he is also a part of Christian demonology, as he is mentioned in The Grimoire of Pope Honorius. As a Crossroad Demon, he procures love for those seeking it, and he settles disputes between friends and enemies through Faustian Bargains. According to the Grand Grimoire, he is a direct subordinate of Satanachia. He is described as a Marquis in the Ars Goetia and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, but as a Prince in the Dictionnaire Infernal.

Aamon often appear in two primary forms, the first of which is wilder and more frightening, but the second, humanoid with only a few bestial traits. It is up to the magician to command the evoked demon to put on its human guise so that communication with it can be made easier, and with less risk of injury. The most preferred option is for demons to possess humans, because the true form of a demon is vast in power. The true form of a powerful demon can cause massive havoc around it, so a vessel is more suitable. He is represented as either a fire-breathing wolf or a bird (typically sparrow or owl) with wolf arms and falcon wings, having a snake for a tail, or as a blue-skinned man with a gold falcon’s head and red wings.In both his humanoid and bestial forms, the tongued beak has numerous canine teeth inside.

Some demonologists have associated his name with the Egyptian god Amun, who he posed as, or with the god Hammon of Carthage. The Egyptians and other ancient civilizations viewed Amun as their supreme God; they represented him also with blue skin, in a rather humanoid form.

## Appearance

Aamon is part of the physical subgroup of demons known as Avian demons, because they share major physical characteristics with birds. He appears as an owl, sparrow or wolf with a snake's tail and falcon wings who can breathe fire, or as a blue-skinned man with canine teeth that are situated inside of a falcon-headed man with thick red wings. He has two front legs, both of which are wolf legs. In his humanoid form he has either blue, albino or pale white skin. As a beast, he has the head of a white barn-owl or sparrow with black eyes. When enraged, his feathers turn brown, his face more similar to a common owl or falcon, and his eyes turn a glowing yellow like the fire of hell. If his head ever morphs from bird to canine, it means he is at his deepest point of rage.

When appearing in his humanoid form, his skin is very pale, almost albino-like. Accompanying him is an Infernal falcon, which Aamon has great admiration for in comparison to Earthly falcons. Despite this, there has been little-to-no explanation about what the difference is between an Earthly falcon and an Infernal one; the demons said that the Infernal birds are simply native to Hell instead of Earth, but Aamon insists on his infernal companions having great differences from their "lesser brethren". Within his bestial form he is only capable of bird calling, barking, whimpering, howling and growling. His calls resemble that of the barn owl or falcon due to his anatomy. In his humanoid form though, he is capable of speaking.

When on-duty in humanoid form, he is always seen wearing dark purple form-fitting armor with a spiked gold helmet and rows of thorns upon his leggings. In times of victory he wears a cape. Outside of his humanoid form, he wears a dark red frock coat lined with gold-colored calligraphy. Alongside this is a gold monocle and a black top hat with gold-colored lining. There are certainly many occasions though, where Aamon prefers no clothes at all.

When the Egyptians viewed Aamon as the god Amun; they represented him with the blue skin, in a rather human form.

## Personality

Aamon is by no means good or kind, and will kill and deceive people who don’t deserve it; however, he is not evil in comparison to other demons. He doesn’t kill for sadistic pleasure and would only do so when attacked or if someone stood in his way. He is a serious and no-nonsense demon who follows the law of Hell, and as a General he has the respect of his legions for being “honorable”. He hates how people keep joking around and take things in a light manner, often reverting into his brown-feathered form and breathing fire and poisonous gas onto them as a punishment if angered. So even though he attacks only when provoked, he can be quite easily provoked due to his wrathful nature.

For Aamon is of Violence, from the sin of Wrath, and compels others to turn against their fellows and harm the innocent. He wants humans to be serious, cruel and cold so they can be more useful to him. It’s evident from the information above that he has a short temper with things. He is also somewhat pompous and posh, thinking much higher of himself than those above him. This pride makes him do bold things, such as break truces between his kin and opposing forces. He’s bestial and violence is his first answer if he believed he was being harmed. Despite his allegiance to the rules, he is not above lying or cheating anyone, and he has done so many times.

He has no affection for humans, and doesn’t care about any human who he doesn’t see as useful. Even if someone is useful, he only cares because that person can benefit him. He views most humans as easily corruptible and weak, which he takes advantage of for what he calls the “Greater Good”, that being to make them “stronger” like demons by making sure they lose emotional attachments and remain loyal.

## Powers and Abilities

Aamon is among the mightiest and strongest of the demons possessed a great and vast array of powers. Even before he gained more power (after absorbing the deceased Fallen Angel Arohasear) he was highly agile, intelligent, and strong during his younger days. He possessed a vast array of psychic powers being able to detect those nearby and the strength of his enemies. He was able to extend spikes from his wrists that were able to cut clean through organic material which extended to his tail and wings. He could breathe fire from his mouth, and send off a powerful bolt of energy after it builds in power. He could extend his limbs and could breathe under water, and that was only a portion of his powers. He was someone who many angels and demons alike admired and admire to the day, although some of his powers have been weakened since his bestial transformation.

According to Christian demonology, it is believed that he is most powerful during the day and has the ability to project flames from his mouth at that time. Aamon is summoned for his knowledge of the past, ability to reconcile and bring love and his ability to predict the future. However, like most demons, he will only answer truthfully if the inquirer asks their question specifically down to the last syllable.

He tells of all things, past and future. He procures love and reconciles controversies between friends and foes, although, many scriptures have noted his way of "reconciliation" is not always peaceful. He will end all arguments in the most efficient way even by ending the life of one side, much to the horror of his conjurers. He is also said to procure other favors. He engages in these bargains so when the contract ends, the victim can be brought to hell and molded into a perfect soldier by him. This involves a grueling process of forcing the captive to lose all emotional attachment, usually through psychological torture. Like Amaymon, Aamon is said to have a deadly poisonous breath.

## Myths and Legends

According to the Dictionnaire Infernal by Collin de Plancy, he commands forty legions of demons and carries the title of prince. He is also an entity many looked to reconcile friends and foes, and procure love for those seeking it. It is possible that this was done to reconcile the term "Amon of Thebes" appearing in the Bible, to say that it wasn't an actual god but just a demon. The Egyptians viewed Amon, or rather Amun, as their supreme God; they represented him with the blue skin, in a rather human form.

While he has also been known to take the form of a wolf with a serpent's tail, the demon Amon is most often described as having the body of a man but the head of a "raven with dog or wolf teeth". In ancient Egyptian drawings, the god Amon-Ra was often depicted as having the body of a man and the head of a falcon. Ravens have slightly different heads than falcons, mostly due to a longer beak. If looked closely at a falcon's beak, though, people can see that they have a very distinguishing featured called a "tomial tooth". This extension on the beak is shaped very much like a canine tooth. Armed with this knowledge, it becomes a very likely scenario that whatever conjurer of Amon described seeing a raven's head with canine teeth was actually describing the head of a falcon.
