Master Therion

Master Therion, also known as Therion, is a demon in the series.

History
Therion is a dark god of Aleister Crowley's design, found in the Book of Revelations. It persecutes "saints" and influences "the kings of the earth and of the whole world" to gather for the End of Days.

According to Revelations, Therion is the enemy of humanity, a beast with the power and authority of Satan. The beast is said to come from the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, a body like a leopard and legs like a bear. Another beast with lamb's horns is said to come from the earth, forcing man to worship the beast from the sea. Everyone must also bear the mark of the beast, the number 666, on their hand or forehead, or they cannot buy or sell goods. The beast is later defeated by Christ and thrown into the lake of fire.
