Prince Sitri
Colour scheme not decided yet, so have a Pride version of him :) Text-wall under the cut:
Original text from the Ars Goetia: “The Twelfth Spirit is Sitri. He is a Great Prince and appeareth at first with a Leopard’s head and the Wings of a Gryphon, but after the command of the Master of the Exorcism he putteth on Human shape, and that very beautiful. He enflameth Men with Women’s love, and Women with Men’s love; and causeth them also to show themselves naked if it be desired. He governeth 60 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, to be worn as a Lamen before thee, etc.”
When I first read about Prince Sitri, the fact that they wrote "He enflameth Men with Women’s love" and vice versa using WITH rather than FOR, made my initial reaction to be "oh so his power is to turn people gay because that sounds like some old fashioned way of saying he made people attracted to their own gender". I know that's likely not what they meant and that it was just me getting confused by the Old English, but whatever. Now most people know you can't really change your sexuality, so in my version Sitri's power is not to change people's sexualities - it's to help people understand and accept what attraction and gender they already have, even if they might not be able to formulate it. But of course, homophobes consider that to be the same thing as "turning people gay/trans" so that's what they consider his power to be even if it's incorrect.
Sitri is one of the characters in my WIP Stolas' Realm, and the drafts consists of two parts: The prequel: The Reaper's Son, and the sequel: Hearts of Stone. In TRS he is still a child (compared to a human child, he would be the roughly the equivalent of a 12-year old like Stolas) while in HoS he have grown up to an adult. Sitri is a cheery person who fluctuates between being chill and seductively lounging and restless. Once he's an adult, he is happy to flirt and have one-night stands with almost anyone who is mature in body, mind, and soul, but he knows better than to flirt with people he can sense are not inclined to such things. He only shoots his shots when he knows it will be appreciated - or when it's to make creeps uncomfortable. Not sure yet if I will give him any partners, but if I do it will be a poly relationship that is very open though he will rarely go outside his pack - though he does help his partners find safe one-night stands when they want to explore others.
He is childhood friends with Stolas and Avaun, and will befriend Nilev and Varisu as a child too.
He/him, pan and poly, age probably about 1200 as an adult (it's not decided yet).
Sitri can - like Stolas - take on a human form as an adult, but it is not designed yet. All I know at this point is that he will be Black.
