XXXII - DANTALLION

32 - Dantallion aka Donskion, Dansiation, Danskalion, Dathyn - Appears in Book of Incantations, The Cambridge Book of Magic, The Grimoire of Arthur Gauntlet, and The Lesser Key of Solomon

From The Cambridge Book of Magic / Discoverie of Witchcraft

While this demon does not have a biographical entry in the cambridge book of magic, the book details a spell called “Of the Revenge of Troy” [Cambridge, 82] which invokes a demon by the name of “Dathyn” which, based on pronunciation, likely became the name Dantallion. The spell, a rite of necromantic thaumaturgical curse, is notable in that it is the only actively harmful spell in the entire book. The same spell is also detailed in Discoverie of Witchcraft, [discoverie, 208] though without the name. 

From The Grimoire of Arthur Gauntlet

Invoked in a spell titled “To Gain the Love of Man or Woman” [Rankine, 151] However, the working makes improper use of a tetragrammaton seal, so I have largely discarded it. 

From the Lesser Key / Book of Incantations

The 71 spirit is called Dantalion, he is a great & Mighty duke appearing in ye forme of a Man wth many faces, all like men & women, & a Booke in his right hand; his office is to Teach all arts and siences to anyone, and to declare ye secreet Councelles of anyone, for he knoweth ye Thoughts of all men and women, and can change them at his will, he can cause love and shew (by vision) ye true similitude of anyone lett them be in wt place or part of ye world they will, he governeth 36 Legions of spirits his seal is This, wch is to be worne as a Lamin.

Appearance: A human with many faces, male and female. Carries a book in their right hand. 

Subrace: Likely Former Throne

Abilities: Liberal Sciences, Love, Secrets, Vision. 

Legions: 36

Rank: Duke

Notes: The book is interesting. Judging by the spells that invoke them, Dantallion seems to have something to do with the ownership of souls, as well as knowledge of their thoughts. I would posit that Dantallion acts as hells bondsman, managing the infernal account of souls and their ownership. This would place them under Zagan. 

Brand of the Accountant - The marked gains the ability to read minds. The effect is triggered by inscribing the name of the desired target on any piece of paper using the markeds blood as ink. This seems to correspond to a single sunrises worth of telepathy.
