Eligos

Eligos

Eligos (also Abigor or Eligor), in demonology, is a Great Duke of Hell, ruling sixty legions of demons. He discovers hidden things and knows the future of wars and how soldiers should meet. He also attracts the favours of lords, knights and other important persons.

He is depicted in the form of a goodly knight carrying a lance, an ensign and a sceptre (a serpent to some authors, most notably Aleister Crowley).

Alternatively he is depicted as a ghostly spectre, sometimes riding a semi-skeletal (sometimes winged) horse, or the Steed of Abigor. This is a minion of Hell itself, and was a gift from Beelzebub. It was created from the remains of one of the horses of The Garden of Eden.

His name is spelled "Eligor". He appears riding a half-horse/half-dragon, wearing armor and carrying a lance.
*Eligor appears in the video game as a recurring boss enemy and later as a recruitable demon, and in Persona 3 as one of the main character's usable personas. He is depicted as a knight in red armor wielding a lance.
