From the Lesser Key
The Sixtieth Spirit is Vapula, or Naphula. He is a Duke Great, Mighty and Strong; appearing in the Form of a Lion with Gryphon's Wings. His Office is to make Men Knowing in all Handicrafts and Professions, also in Philosophy, and other sciences.

Appearance: Leonine with gryphons wings
Subrace: Cambion
Abilities: Philosophy, Mathematics, handicrafts
Legions: 36
Rank: Duke
Notes: Referred to as feminine by the Lesser Key, but masculine in Pseudomonarchia and Discoverie. Lion helmet with gryphon wings. Makes men “Subtle and wonderful in all handicrafts” and teaches science. I would put them under Purson rather than Vine due to his association with knowledge and academia.
Brand of the Engineer - Mechanomancy. Through physical contact, the marked can “speak” to machines, who will listen.
