>LECHER
>The first Duke under Paymon is Lecher, who is also called Alloces and Alocer. He comes as a knight riding upon a great horse and his face is that of a red lion with flaming eyes. He speaks with a loud voice that is hoarse and sad, teaches of astronomy and the liberal sciences, and can bring the conjurer friendships and good familiars
>The Fiery, leonine, Marsian nature of Lecher's physical appearance reveals a strong similarity to that of the jinn chieftain Malik Al Ahmar, “the Red King”, who appears as a giant warrior of the underworld with sparks of fire for his eyes. Like his father, the underworld god Al-Muharriq, Al-Ahmar is associated with the lion, having one for his mount, and also has a violent, warlike reputation that is symbolized by his carrying a sword in one hand and a severed head in the other. This appearance is also comparable with the Afarit of Arabian lore, who were wrathful, winged titans with the forelegs of a lion and eyes like burning coals, which included a third eye in the center of their foreheads that was like that of a lynx from which sparks of fire flowed
>Elements of the name of Al-Ahmar, meaning "The Great", may also have relevance to the alternative name his spirit bears in the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Alocer, due to its phonological similarity to the Arabic الخر (Al-Akmar), which has numerous meanings including "The Last", "The Utmost", and "The Great". While Arabic origins appear plausible, possibilities with regards to the name Allocer are also traceable through the etymology of the name Lecher, which has its origins in the Hebrew לחש (lechesh) meaning "spell", "whisper" or "murmur". Semantically, this name reflects the low muttering or "groaning" intrinsic to the incantations of the Goës and is also evident in the name of the spirit Murmur
>A spirit with a very similar form and function to Lecher is the Northern Marquis Muryell, who comes in the form of a white lion riding a strong horse
