Oriax (Wikipedia)

In demonology, Orias (also spelled Oriax) is a Great Marquis of Hell, and has thirty legions of demons under his command. He knows and teaches the virtues of the stars and the mansions of the planets (the influence of each planet depending on the astrological sign in which it is in a specific moment and the influence of that sign on an individual depending on how the zodiac was configured at the moment of his/her birth or at the moment of asking a question to the astrologist); he also gives dignities, prelacies, and the favour of friends and foes, and can metamorphose a man into any shape.

Orias in popular culture

Orias is the name of the Centaur in the Disney's Adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Orias is second in command to Aslan.

In the 2006 Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game supplement Tome of Magic: Pact, Shadow, and True Name Magic, Orias appears as a "vestige" with whom characters can make a pact in return for power. His name is spelled "Otiax".

Also, most do not know this but he is a Class B to Class A, Dragon demon. Ten feet tall and is quite the nasty one. Though Orias is quite powerful, he has a Rival: Taven K. Cross A.k.a. The Crimson Winged Angel. An angel sent down from the Heavens as a Human in order to keep himself hidden, and to make sure he kept himself hidden, his memory was erased. So Orias has the upper hand against his Rival... For now.
