**Beleth** is a cat demon and a king in the Ars Goetia.

## Appearance

Beleth appears as an anthropomorphic black cat with a white snout, chest fur and paws. He has yellow eyes with thin pupils. He has large fangs in his mouth and small black horns. He wears a simple black shirt and jeans along with a red plaid jacket and no shoes, since most don't fit him.

## Personality

Beleth is rambunctious and energized. Much like a cat, he is mischievous, playful and loves to socialize with others. He will often play pranks on his fellow members of the Ars Goetia. He is very easily distracted, especially by shiny objects and toys. He isn't embarrassed by any of his natural, instinctive behaviors and loves himself quite a bit.

## History

Beleth was created around the time Beelzebub fell into the Underworld. At the time, he was a fairly normal demon, with no animal traits. He was friends with Purson, Valefar, and Phenex. Beleth would often poke fun at his friends for their more animalistic behaviors, and while Purson and Phenex took the jokes in stride, Valefar, the more prideful of the three friends, did not. To return the favor, Valefar played a "practical joke" on Beleth by slipping a concoction he brewed into Beleth's drink. Beleth left the group's hangout early that day, claiming to feel ill. By the time he got home, he felt off-balance and violently ill. He tried his best to rest through the nausea and discomfort, and eventually fell into fitful slumber. However, while he slept his body began to change. When he awoke the next morning, he found that he felt better, yes, but he could immediately tell that something was wrong with his body- his clothes felt baggy, and everything in his room looked taller than it did before. He rolled out of bed, getting tangled in his blankets and his own pajamas before stumbling to the bathroom. He pulled up a chair to the mirror (since the vanity was too tall for him), and he was greeted to a shocking sight- he had been turned into a cat demon. Not just with the ears and tail though- he was a walking, talking cat with black and white fur. He screamed out upon seeing himself, alarming the group, who was waiting outside his house for him. They entered the house, and despite the situation they were able to calm Beleth down. After being pressed about it, Valefar did confess to the act, and said that he would only return Beleth back to his normal form after Beleth learned what it was like to be berated for things he can't control, and to understand a "different perspective". Beleth reluctantly agreed, and he spent the next 3 months in full cat form. Over time, though, he began to love all the little behaviors that came with his new body. He began to love and appreciate every little thing about it, to the point he began to prefer being a cat over his old form, and he told Valefar as such. While Valefar was surprised, he accepted his friend's decision to remain as a cat. Later, when Beleth became a king in the Ars Goetia, he granted all of his friends places within the organization. All four demons are still close to this day, and Beleth remains a cat.
