According to the Goetia, Baal (or "Bael") is a mighty king of Hell. He can take many forms, and often appears with three heads: a man, a toad, and a cat. Baal speaks in a raucous but well-formed voice, and commands 66 demonic legions. He teaches the art of invisibility.

It took the combined efforts of the Virgin Mary _and_ the Devil to get her out of this mess.
