Adramelech

 

Adramelech

In Assyrian mythology Adramelech (also called Adrammelech or Adar-malik) was a form of the Baals, a god very similar to Moloch. To him were offered in sacrifice children who were thrown into fire. The centre of his worship was the town of Sepharvaim,

After being turned into a demon in Christian times, in demonology Adramelech became the President of the Senate of the demons, Chancellor of Hell and supervisor of Satan's wardrobe, being generally depicted with a human torso and head, and the rest of the body of a mule (or sometimes as a peacock).
