Paimon

Paimon is a king of the Ars Goetia, and the father of Stolas.[1] He is a minor character who made his debut in "The Circus".

Paimon is a very tall avian demon resembling a great horned owl or raven, with black feathers over his body and larger feathers pointing upwards to resemble horns.

He has glowing red eyes with white pupils, and a white face reminiscent of an eye mask that bears intricate red sigils. He wears a long crimson cloak with a pale maroon upper section and gold trimming that covers his body, along with a hood that goes to about his chin.

When opened, the cloak is shown to be glistening like actual gold, similar to Stolas's cape in "Ozzie's". On his head is a golden crown decorated with a golden Goetic symbol and star ornaments on the points on top.

Underneath the cloak, he wears a red undershirt, maroon vest, white jabot, and dark gray pants.

Plebeians Stolas bowing to commoners Stolas' "bitch crying"

Paimon has been shown to be a negligent father, who cannot recall his son's name without the help of his butler. He is a self-absorbed, inconsiderate and callous individual. When he made a child Stolas caretaker of the grimoire, he half-heartedly followed up by informing his son about the latter's arranged marriage to Stella, failing to consider, or care, about his son's opinion on the matter.

His disinterest in attending to his son's care is further emphasized when he dismisses his son's distress as "bitch crying", before forcing his son to attend a circus event with the expectation that it would calm him down. Even in this regard, he failed to actually physically accompany his son, opting to have his butler carry a magical mirror that allowed him to observe the event remotely. He would later go on to congratulate himself for being "so good at daddying” in regards to his treatment of Stolas.

Paimon upholds his status from being part of the Ars Goetia, looking down on those who are beneath his station. As seen when he slaps Stolas on the head and scolds the latter for bowing down to an imp when introducing himself, and his lack of consideration for the damage his rampant teleporting would cause the tent's for a circus.

Despite his poor parenting skills, Paimon has been shown to be a keen observer. He was able to quickly identify that his son was seemingly fond of a certain child circus performer imp, and took measures to have the aforementioned imp accompany his son to cheer him up. Though, the measures he took to hire the imp, offering to buy him for $5 and a slim-fit condom, further emphasize his deprecation of lower caste demons.

Immortality - As demonic royalty and father to Stolas, who is mentioned to be immortal, Paimon is biologically immortal, presumably being able to live for a long period of time and only able to be killed by angelic weaponry. Shapeshifting - When he is first introduced, Paimon is seen transforming into several silhouettes of demonic creatures that include a goat, a four-headed snake, an elephant, and a winged eyeball (resembling the biblical Ophanim) before getting up from his throne. Teleportation - Paimon was able to teleport his mirror self and Mister Butler away from Cash Buckzo's circus while leaving a flaming crater behind. Grimoire manipulation - Paimon showcases the ability to summon forth the grimoire he later gifts Stolas. Projection - Paimon is seen casting lifelike projections while imparting cosmic knowledge onto Stolas.

"There is my little, uh... Which son is this one? There's so fucking many." ―Paimon, when seeing Stolas "Stolas! Yes-heh right, right, that's the one. The owl boy." ―Paimon, after being reminded by the butler "Well, my little one, it is finally your day of becoming a true part of the Goetia family. How good for you." ―Paimon, to Stolas "Are you ready to know what you'll be meant to do to serve hell?" ―Paimon, before handing Stolas the grimoire "You will be entrusted with the study of the earth's skies—the stars, the prophecies, they hold all that stuff. Isn't that fun?" ―Paimon, telling Stolas about his duties "You will begin the studies of your grimoire, which will you grant access to the mortal realm to study and observe. And you will grow to be a mighty prince of Hell with your own legions to lead and pass on your knowledge to." ―Paimon, presenting the grimoire "Wonderful! Also, son, you are destined to sire a precautionary addition to the Goetia family—so, you are now engaged, congratulations! isn't she charming." ―Paimon, telling Stolas about his arranged marriage with Stella. "That's an ugly noise son. Here, how about you cease this bitch crying?" ―Paimon, when Stolas gets upset about the arranged marriage "That usually works. Would you like it if I took you to the circus in town? Children enjoy the circus, right?" ―Paimon, suggesting to go to the circus with Stolas "Would that distract you enough from your non-negotiable future marriage?" ―Paimon, attempting to comfort Stolas "Is there a spot that's close to the front, but also far enough that I don't have to oversmell the poor?" ―Paimon, not wanting to sit near the audience in the circus "My son doesn't have any friends you see, and he liked the little clown boy. It's his birthday, he's so sad and I don't want to deal with him. Can I write a check?" ―Paimon explaining his intentions with purchasing Blitzo "A-uh wadded up 5 and a slim-fit condom." ―Paimon, telling Cash how much money he has

"Don't bow to that one! He bows to us, idiot." ―Paimon, when Stolas bows to Blitzo "I'm so good at daddy-ing!" ―Paimon, referring to his parenting skills
