Orias

Great Marquis.
Daemon of Divination.
Protector of Astrologers.
The brother of Nybbas.

Origin: Of obscure Babylonian origins, Orias knows many things about
the future and some people suspect that he invented astrology. This is of course completely wrong. As we all know, astrology originated in Sumeria and has somehow survived five millennia despite both human and divine efforts to dismiss it as nonsense.

Career: Before The Fall, Orias knew all too well what was about to happen but kept quiet about it, something that brought him down as well. After the Fall, Orias has served the First Fallen as his astrologer and has from time to time made extended journeys among mankind. During these sojourns he is known to have inspired John to write the Revelations and to have taught Robert Johnson how to play guitar. Orias has in later years grown fond of the Montemartre area of Paris.

Character: A tall, dark and foreboding figure with eyes in the palms of
his hands. Aloof and dry-humoured, Orias contemplates the past and the future. Convinced that no one can handle the future that he knows all too well, he still enjoys letting humans see glimpses of it.

Symbols and attributes: Two snakes.
