"Vepar" (Demon #42)

Duke Vepar (Separ, Vephar). The Forty-Second Demon from the 'Ars Goetia'.

                                    "Vepar" (Demon #42)

The Governor of the Waters, I guide armoured ships laden with ammunition/
A strong Grand Duke of Hell, the Ruler of twenty-nine Legions of Demons
It is I that can make men die in three days, by putrefying sores and wounds/
But if requested by the Conjuror, I can heal them immediately through & through
I'm often depicted as a Mermaid, and how the Legend of Medusa was created/
The rival of Goddess Athena, the woman who's head was turned into snakes.
