The Myth

Bifron appears in the form of a monstrous creature. When he takes human form, he makes people knowledgeable in astrology and teaches them the secrets of geometry. He also knows the virtues of herbs, stones, and precious plants.

Bifron transports corpses from one place to another and can move the remains of the dead. He has also been seen lighting torches on the tombs of the dead.

Bifron commands twenty-six legions of demons.
