Aamon is named after a demon found in traditional Christian demonology and is listed in the Ars Goetia, his name derived from either the Egyptian deity Amun or the chief Carthaginian god Baal Hammon. Aamon is described as a Grand Marquis of Hell who governs over 40 infernal legions. He can appear as either a fire-breathing wolf with a serpent as a tail or as a man with a raven's head with dog's teeth in its beak. Aamon is called upon to settle disputes between friends and enemies and has knowledge of all things past and things to come.
