He was of the Order of Thrones. He governeth 30 Legions of Spirits; and his Seal is this, which wear thou as aforesaid.

Original Text : Raum vel Raym Comes est magnus: Ut corvus visitur: Sed cum assumit humanam faciem, si ab exorcista jussus fuerit, mirè ex regis domo vel alia suffuratur, and ad locum sibi designatum transfert. Civitates destruit: Dignitatum despectum ingerit. Novit præsentia, præterita and futura. Favorem tam hostium quam amicorum conciliat. Fuit ex ordine Thronorum. Præest legionibus triginta.

Notes: The origin of this demons name likely comes from the german Raumen, literally meaning space, room, or chamber. 

There are some sources that tie Raum to the egyptian god Khnum, but there is essentially no evidence towards this claim. The two entities bare no similarity whatsoever. 

The translation of raum specifically stealing from kings is an interesting choice here. In combination with the social powers attributed to raum, I could see them filling some sort of espionage role within the infernal special forces.  I have my suspicions about the role of counts in the infernal hierarchy but I'll have a more clear picture once they have all been properly researched.
