Paean: physician to the gods, an aspect of the God Apollo, or a god of his own right. Could also be a race of angelic healers, whose to say.

In a world where many people have the names of demons from the Ars Goetia: the acolytes of the other gods, NPC's like Forneus and Berith, Baal, etc. Why are your demons named after gods?

Because Narinder bound them to serve him eternally. Of course.

Some are more obvious than others, Hathor and Orcus. But others aren't too far fetched. Wheat has a long association with death, so Fornax is a natural inclusion. With her being bound up with Vesta, Narinder must have fought her and transformed her as well. One of Vosegus's symbols is pine cones and The cult grounds have evergreens, (if you want to attach it to irl, then Vosges is where he's from, placing cotl cultgrounds somewhere between France and Germany. Which explains the vaguely French shrimp.)

And Paean could have been his personal physician, since Kallamar may or may not have been up for that job.

Thus, Narinder's first transgression may have been experimenting with his godly acolytes. Apparently, transforming mortals into monsters is fine, but turning gods into demons is too far.
