ScoxLiar & Thief
Scox, also known as Shax, is a notorious demon in demonology, ranked as a Duke of Hell. He is one of the many infernal spirits who serve under the command of the infernal emperor, with a specific reputation for being a master of deceit and theft. In the hierarchy of hellish entities, Scox holds considerable power, commanding legions of lesser demons and executing the dark will of his superiors.
Unlike many demons who are known for their destructive tendencies, Scox's primary malevolence lies in his ability to manipulate, lie, and steal. He is often summoned by those who wish to rob others or to obtain something that does not rightfully belong to them. However, Scox is infamous for deceiving even his summoners. He will lie about the nature of the services he can provide, often twisting the outcomes in ways that bring misfortune to those who dared to summon him.
Depictions of Scox vary, but he is commonly portrayed as a shadowy figure, shrouded in darkness, with piercing eyes that can see through the deceit of others while perpetuating his own. His voice is said to be soft yet hypnotic, able to convince even the most steadfast individuals to part with their most prized possessions or to commit acts they would otherwise never consider.
One of the most dangerous aspects of Scox is his ability to steal not only physical objects but also intangible things such as a person's sanity, courage, or trust. He thrives on creating discord and despair, leaving a trail of ruined lives in his wake. Despite his cunning and malevolence, some texts suggest that Scox can be compelled to speak the truth, but only under specific and difficult conditions that few summoners can achieve.
Scox’s role as a Duke of Hell places him in a position of influence within the infernal hierarchy, where he uses his skills in deceit and theft to further the goals of Hell. His duplicitous nature serves as a reminder of the dangers of dealing with demonic entities, as he embodies the concept that not all that is offered comes without a price. Those who seek to use his powers must be wary, for Scox’s loyalty lies only with himself, and he delights in turning the tables on those who would try to control him.
