Caladrius

Caladrius is a demon in the series.

History
The Caladrius is a Roman mythological bird that lives in a king's house and cleanses people of diseases. If it looks into the face of an ill person, it means that they will live. However, if it looks away, the sickly person's illness has progressed too far, and it thus marks their certain death. To cure the person, the Caladrius looks at them, and drawing the sickness into itself, the bird flies up toward the sun, where the disease is burned up and destroyed. The Caladrius happens to be unclean and is not to be eaten.

A Christian metaphor for the Caladrius is that it symbolizes Jesus, with being pure (all white) and takes away men's sins, mirroring the way the Caladrius draws the sickness into itself and ascends upwards into the sun to destroy the disease(s).
