Detailed explanation-1: -Beelzebub. Satan’s second-in-command.
Detailed explanation-2: -In demonology, Malphas is a demon who first appears in Johann Weyer’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. That work and the Lesser Key of Solomon describe him as a mighty Great President of Hell, with 40 legions of demons under his command and is second in command under Satan.
Detailed explanation-3: -At the start of Book II, Satan sits on his throne like a Middle Eastern potentate and addresses the assembled devils as to the course of action they should follow. Four of the devils speak-Moloch, Belial, Mammon, and Beelzebub-with Beelzebub being Satan’s mouthpiece.
Detailed explanation-4: -This thesis contends that Beelzebub is the erotic and political consort of Satan in John Milton’s 1667 poem, Paradise Lost. Chapter one first examines Milton’s relative contemporary, Christopher Marlowe, and his play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus.
Detailed explanation-5: -Belial, fictional character, a fallen angel in John Milton’s Paradise Lost (in 10 books, 1667; in 12 books, 1674) who tries to persuade the others to be more discreet so that their unacceptable behaviour is less conspicuous.
