From Pesudomonarchia / Discoverie

Flauros a strong duke, is seene in the forme of a terrible strong leopard, in humane shape, he sheweth a terrible countenance, and fierie eies, he answereth trulie and fullie of things present, past, and to come; if he be in a triangle, he lieth in all things and deceiveth in other things, and beguileth in other busines, he gladlie talketh of the divinitie, and of the creation of the world, and of the fall; he is constrained by divine vertue, and so are all divels or spirits, to burne and destroie all the conjurors adversaries. And if he be commanded, he suffereth the conjuror not to be tempted, and he hath twentie legions under him.

From The Lesser Key

The Sixty-fourth Spirit is Haures, or Hauras, or Havres, or Flauros. He is a Great Duke, and appeareth at first like a Leopard, Mighty, Terrible, and Strong, but after a while, at the Command of the Exorcist, he putteth on Human Shape with Eyes Flaming and Fiery, and a most Terrible Countenance. He giveth True Answers of all things, Present, Past, and to Come. But if he be not commanded into a triangle, A, he will Lie in all these Things, and deceive and beguile the Exorcist in these things or in such and such business. He will, lastly, talk of the Creation of the World, and of Divinity, and of how he and other Spirits fell. He destroyeth and burneth up those who be the Enemies of the Exorcist should he so desire it; also he will not suffer him to be tempted by any other Spirit or otherwise. He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits, and his Seal is this, to be worn as a Lamen, etc.

Appearance: Humanoid Leopard, said to have fiery eyes

Subrace: Cambion

Abilities: Divination, Demonology, Pyromancy

Legions: 36

Rank: Duke

Notes: Looks like a leopard with burning eyes. Extremely good at lying, and the summoner must use a threefold circle. Gladly speaks of other demons and the nature of divinity. Seems to have some sort of power over other minor demons. Perhaps acts as a member of the Demonic secret police? This will require more research. This would put him somewhere under belial? Maybe Balaam? Maybe even Beleth? Actually, his feline appearance would make sense for him to be part of Beleth’s retinue, perhaps acting as an enforcer? His association with vengeance makes me think he acts as a sort of cleaner, snuffing out lesser demons that step out of line.
