Xaphan

“	Xaphan is a demon of the second order with an inventive spirit and a bellows as an emblem. During the rebellion in heaven, he proposed to set heaven on fire. He was thrown into the abyss with the other rebels & fans the flames of the furnaces with his mouth and hands.	„
	~ The Dictionnaire Infernal describes Xaphan.

Xaphan is a mythological demon described in Jacques de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal.

According to de Plancy, Xaphan is "a demon of the second order" and one of the Fallen Angels who initially rebelled against God's authority. He carries a pair of bellows as his symbol and has two horns on his head. Xaphan is mostly associated with fire.

Description[]

Xaphan was originally an angel until he joined Satan's rebellion against God. He is said to have come from the lower orders of Heaven, but is now a demon of the second rank. The Dictionnaire Infernal describes Xaphan as having an inventive mind even among demons and he is traditionally depicted carrying a pair of bellows.

During the rebellion, Xaphan suggested setting fire to the celestial realm to gain the advantage over God's forces. He was subsequently cast out of Heaven and into the abyss with the rest of the rebels, where he was transformed into a demon. Xaphan subsequently became one of the demons that populate the fiery realm of Hell.

Due to his association with fire, Xaphan is believed to be the demon who keeps the fires and furnaces of Hell ablaze. According to the Dictionnaire Infernal, he fans the flames with his hands and breath until the end of time.
