Marchosias | appears
In demonology, Marchosias is a powerful Great Marquis of Hell, commanding thirty legions of demons. He is a strong and excellent fighter and very reliable to the conjurer, giving true answers to all questions. Marchosias hoped after one thousand and two hundred years to return to heaven with the non-fallen angels, but he is deceived in that hope. He is the supposed creator of Baltzegaurd, an immensly powerful creature neither demon or angelic but simply known as a ‘Wanderer of the Worlds.’
He is depicted as a wolf, a she-wolf, or an ox, that under request changes shape into a man.
The name Marchosias comes from Late Latin ‘marchio’, marquis.
Other spellings: Marchocias.

In Modern Culture
- Marchosias appears in the comic book B.P.R.D.: The Universal Machine, released on August 4th, 2006. He is depicted as a monstrous red demon with a lupine face. Marchosias and Iblifika, another demon, are prisoners of an ageless marquis, and are set free by Kate Corrigan.
- Marchosias appears in Alan Moore’s comic book series Promethea where he is summoned with the demon Andras by the magician Benny Solomon to put a hit out on the title character. Promethea defeats him and Andras at a fight at a nightclub. Later in the series, Benny Solomon summons the entire Ars Goetia to attack Promethea, and Marchosias appears again.
