Nastros
Nastros: A demon of darkness who commands a total of eight hundred and eighty lesser spirits. Nastros appears in the Ars Theurgia, as translated by Mitch Henson. According to this work, Nastros serves the wandering duke Buriel, a prince of the air who moves from place to place along with his retinue. Nastros is an evil spirit who fears the light. When he manifests, it is only at night and he takes the form of a great serpent. This monstrous serpent bears a woman’s head and speaks with the force of a man. Nastros and all the hierarchy of Buriel are so evil that they are hated and reviled by all other spirits.
