Etymology

Orobas is the name of the 55th demon of the lesser key of solomon. Described as a man with the head of a horse, he is a prince of hell and reveals the truth of the past and future when summoned.

In Japanese, his name (バルバロッサ barubarossa Barbarossa) means "red beard" in Italian (barba = beard, rosso/rossa = red). It was also a nickname for Frederick I (often known as "Frederick Barbarossa"), the Holy Roman Emperor from 1155 to 1190 who had a red beard.
