Leviathan

**Leviathan** is a powerful Prince of Hell and one of the first fallen Angels that rebelled with Satan in the War of Heaven. He is the symbolic representation of the sixth deadly sin, Envy.

## **Background**

Leviathan can also be used as an image of endangering both God's creatures—by attempting to eat them—and God's creation—by threatening it with upheaval in the waters of Chaos. St. Thomas Aquinas described Leviathan as the Demon of Envy, first in punishing the corresponding sinners. Peter Binsfeld likewise classified Leviathan as the Demon of Envy, as one of the seven Princes of Hell and corresponding to the seven deadly sins. Leviathan became associated with, and may originally have referred to, the visual motif of the Hellmouth, a monstrous creature into whose mouth the damned disappear at the Last Judgement, found in Anglo-Saxon art from about 800 AD, and later all over Europe.

## **Appearance**

Leviathan's true form is that of a giant sea serpent-like creature with a bird-like beak, dragon-like wings, and spines running along his back. When possessing a human, he turns his host's eyes orange.
