In demonology, Shax is a Great Marquis of Hell, and has power over
thirty legions of demons. He takes away the sight, hearing and
understanding of any person under the conjurer's request, and steals
money out of kings' houses, carrying it back in one thousand and two
hundred years. He also steals horses and everything the conjurer asks.
Shax can also discover hidden things if they are not kept by evil spirits,
and sometimes gives good familiars, but sometimes those familiars
deceive the conjurer.
Shax is thought to be faithful and obedient, but is a great liar and will
deceive the conjurer unless obliged to enter a magic triangle drawn on
the floor. He will then speak marvellously and tell the truth.
He is depicted as a stork that speaks with a hoarse but subtle voice; his
voice changes into a beautiful one once he entered the magic triangle.
