Physical Description: His skin is as pale as marble, his hair the color of moonlight on the snow which extends well past his knees. He is 6’ 1” tall and has a lean, but muscular toned body. His eyes are aquamarine and almost seem to emit its own special glow. On the right of his back he sports one blood red wing, earning him the moniker One-winged demon. He has two small black horns protruding from the top of his head and his nails, if they were ever to be seen, are as black and shiny as onyx. In his mouth he sports a forked tongue, like many demon do as well as razor sharp fangs that can extend at will.
Personality Description:{Taken from his own description in the story} I'm a hostile, winged demon with one wing, plotting against every wind under the king of Egypt, hardening his heart. I'm the one whom Jannes and Jamres, those who opposed Moses in Egypt, called to their aid. I'm the adversary of Moses in performing wonders and signs. During the time of the Exodus of the sons of Israel, I gave Pharoah pangs of anxiety and hardened the heart of him, as well as his subordinates. I cause them to pursue closely after the sons of Israel, and Pharoah followed with me and so did the Egyptians. I was there at the time when the sons of Israel crossed over, the water turned back on us and covered over the company of Egyptians. I was to be found there. I, too, was engulfed by the water, and I remained in the sea, being held down there by the pillar until Ephippas arrived.
Aside from the aforementioned traits, he can be cruel and calculating when trying to achieve what he wants. He likes both men and women, so long as they are appealing to the eyes, for he is also a vain creature. His voice is ethereal and otherworldly, which makes it easier for him to lead people astray and believe the lies he embeds in them. He can be serious when he needs to be to he point where it looks as if he were a stone statue, unmoving and unemotional. Other times he can be a deviant, looking for mischief whenever and where ever he pleases.
Special Abilities: Manipulation of human emotions, illusory magic as well as other types of magic. Leads people astray.
Special Defenses: Unknown
Weaknesses: The power of God and all those who truly serve him whom call upon his power. Just like the other demons, heaven's gold also has an effect on him.
Weapon: A staff that aids him with his magic. Hidden within the staff is a blade long enough to cut down his foes if need be.
Quirks: He has an affinity for feathers of all colors. For some reason after losing his left wing he's been obsessed with them, mainly black ones which he tends to adorn his clothing with. He is a lover of sweets, despite his serious demeanor. He loves alcohol and can hold his own very well when drinking, enjoying all varieties of the kind.
History:
Abezethibou, or Abezethibod, is a demon and fallen angel described in the pseudepigraph Testament of Solomon. He followed Beelzebub upon his fall from heaven, and became an important demon in hell. However, after his treason, he is left with one red wing. He later traveled to Egypt where he hardened the heart of pharaoh and his advisers, and convinced them to pursue the fleeing Israelite slaves. In doing so, he drowns along with the army in the Red Sea, and become trapped in a pillar of water, though Beelzebub claims he will return for conquest.
Depiction in the Testament of Solomon
In the Testament of Solomon, when Solomon summons Beelzebub for an interview, the prince of the demons reveals that the an angel named Abezethibou accompanied him when he fell from heaven. After his fall from heaven, Abezethibou became a one-winged demon condemned to hell.[1] He claims that all those imprisoned in Tartarus fall under Abezethibou's control. This charge comprised Abezethibou's primary role and burden in the demon world.[2] He opposed Moses and the Israelites during the Exodus from Egypt.
Later, Abezethibou himself appears before Solomon (after being freed from the Red Sea by a demon named Ephippas), informing the king that, as an angel, Abezethibou had sat in Amelouth, a place he described as the first heaven.[3] After his fall, Abezethibou roamed Egypt, and, after the appeal of Moses to let the Israelites leave Egypt, cause Pharaoh's heart to harden.[2] This is contrary to the traditional Judeo-Christian view of the event based of the Book of Exodus, which contends that God hardened the heart of Pharaoh.[4] He went with the Egyptian army in the pursuit of the Israelites, and the collapsing Red Sea crushed and drowned him, where he was imprisoned by a pillar of water.[1]
The Testament of Solomon states that Jannes and Jambres called upon Abezethibou when they battled against Moses, and the demon provided them with the magic they used.[5] He claim to be the adversary of Moses in [performing] signs and wonders.[6] Abezethibou was sealed in the Red Sea, but Beelzebub claimed that "when he [Abezethibou] is ready, he will come in triumph."
The Wisdom of Solomon that was given to him by God is power over angels and the binding and control of the demons that roamed the earth. Solomon is known to have imprisoned many of the demons who were later set free during the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem.
What Abezethibou has done after regaining his freedom for the second time remains unknown.
In TSC 124-127,26; TSol 25:1-8; it states that he is the offspring of Beelzeboul [Beelzebub]
