Bitru
Bitru
According to the demonologist Johan Weyer, Bitru is a great Prince of Hell, also known as Sytry. He appeared in the form of a leopard with the wings of a griffin. But whenever he adopted a human appearance, it was invariably one of great beauty. It is he who awakes lust in the human heart. Seventy legions obey his commands.
