Jamaz

Jamaz: In the Driscoll edition of the Sworn Book, Jamaz is identified as the infernal king of the element of fire. As a fire demon, Jamaz is said to have a temperament that is both hot and hasty. He is also energetic and strong, and he can be generous to those he favours. His complexion is like fire, and he wields power over death and decay. Consequently, he can either restore that which has already decayed or he can prevent decay in an item or object. He can cause death with but a word, and he can also raise an army of one thousand soldiers.

Driscoll suggests that Jamaz accomplishes this by raising these soldiers from the grave. On top of all of this, he can give familiars. In keeping with his martial qualities, his familiars have a tendency to have the likeness of soldiers.
