Nercamay

Nercamay: A demon who serves beneath all four princes of the cardinal directions, Nercamay appears in the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage . Mathers suggests that his name arises from two Hebrew words meaning “boy” and “companion.” From there, it is not much of a stretch to suppose that Nercamay is something of a catamite. As a servant of the four cardinal princes, he shares all of their powers, and, if summoned, he can grant familiars to the magician or summon armed men for his protection.
