Profile
Origin
Bathin is a spirit in European demonology first attested as Machin, the 15th spirit in the Livre des esperitz, where he is said to be a great duke in the form of a strong man. He teaches the power of herbs and precious stones, and carries the master to wherever they desire. He has 37 legions under his command.[1]
Bathin is elaborated upon as Bathym, the 10th spirit in Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, which draws from earlier sources. Bathym, also known as Marthim, is a great and strong duke in the form of a strong man with a serpent's tail. He rides upon a pale horse and is knowledgeable of the powers of herbs and precious stones, and he can most swiftly carry a person from region to region. He has 30 legions under his command.[2]
In the Ars Goetia section of The Lesser Key of Solomon, which is heavily based on the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Bathin is said to be the 18th spirit summoned by King Solomon of Israel.[3]
Design
Bathin appears as a humanoid figure with a red, pointed, demon-like tail. He is dressed in dark attire and white gloves, and rides a red skull with green horns, with smoke coming out of its mouth.
