Court of Belphegor
Known as Pan by the Greeks, Khnum by the Egyptians and the Androgyne Baphomet by the Knights Templar. Belphegor was struck onto earth and doomed to wander the lands of man, giving his occult knowledge to the people who he deemed worthy or impressed him in any way.
Rumours say that Belphegor was the one who gave the Knights Templar the power and position that eventually rivalled the catholic church itself, prompting the latter to completely cleanse the Templars from existence.
After these events Belphegor went into hiding, and kept offering his knowledge to those who were ambitious enough to search his secret court and he deemed worthy. And thus, Belphegor among the fallen angels who were responsible for the enlightenment, striking a fatal blow to the church who hunted him down like an animal.

As a demonologist, I have researched this Spirit of Perversion and Chaos and agree with most of the description. My own personal study and prophetic teaching has produced an understanding that Belphegor is not only Pan, but also Dionysus and Bacchus. The Romans were not particularly drawn to the half-beast images common in Egypt and Mesopotamia and preferred humanoid forms of demon-gods and goddesses. However, half-goat Satyrs were an exception to the norm . The name and image Baphomet is a fairly recent adaptation.
Belphegor was originally known as Baal-Peor or 'lord of Mount Peor' of Shittim in the Bible. It's my understanding that Belphegor is actually the peculiar looking and very deviant Set of Egypt, as well as the trickster Loki. It was Enoch who wrote that the evil spirits of Nephilim were roaming about the earth seeking worship of themselves.
All that being said, your portfolio is astounding!
