Etymology

As depicted in the Dictionnaire Infernal.

In Christianity and ancient Hebrew texts, Asmodeus was a demon who was usually paired with, or identified as the demon Satan.

He appears in numerous different texts, each with a different representation and role in the demonic hierarchy.

In the Ars Goetia, Asmodeus is ranked thirty-second amongst Hell's hierarchy, and is described as having three heads - one of a bull, a human, and a ram; the tail of a serpent, and from his six mouths can breathe fire. He rides upon an infernal dragon, and governs seventy-two legions of lesser demons.

In other texts he appears as one of the "Seven Princes of Hell" - one corresponding to each of the deadly sins - where he is the governs over lust, lascivity and carnal desire.

This may be the main reason why in Covenant, he portrayed as a "God of Desire".
