Mafayr: Duke of Armadiel and the Fourteenth Portion of Time

Mafayr is a demon named in the Ars Theurgia, where both his name and magical seal are preserved. He holds the rank of duke and serves beneath Armadiel, an infernal king whose dominion is associated with the northeast.

What makes Mafayr particularly unusual is the extreme precision governing his manifestation. According to the grimoire, the day must be divided into fifteen equal portions, and Mafayr may appear only during the fourteenth portion. Once that allotted period has passed, he will no longer manifest. His presence is therefore bound to a narrow opening in time, reflecting the rigid ritual structure that characterises many of the spirits of the Ars Theurgia.

When Mafayr does appear, he does not come alone. He is accompanied by eighty-four ministering spirits who serve beneath him and carry out his commands. This considerable retinue marks him as more than an isolated demon and places him firmly within the elaborate hierarchy of kings, princes, dukes and lesser spirits that populate the invisible world described by the grimoire.

Mafayr is not given an extensive mythology or detailed physical appearance. His mystery lies instead in the conditions surrounding him: an infernal duke of the northeast whose power can be approached only during one precisely measured fraction of the day, after which the door closes again.
