FAITH Tarot: The High Priestess A drawing I made in 2021 for a collaborative fandom project (organized by @/koloku). Drawing time-lapse below for those curious.

I think we need to take a close look at what sort of demon Sebastian may be. Since there are different ranks and powers, various demons can have.

But for the fact who he may be, I made a wide research about the abilities and forms certain demons can take. And I believe it could be.

Malphas.

Why?

In demonology, Malphas is a demon who first appears in a book Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. That work describe him as a mighty Great President of hell with 40 legions of demons under his command and is second in command under Satan. He appears as a raven, but if requested, will instead resemble a man with a hoarse voice. Malphas is said to build houses, high towers and strongholds, throw down the buildings of enemies, destroy enemies' desires or thoughts (and/or make them known to the conjurer) and all that they have done. He quickly bring artificers together from all places of the world. According to the writers, Malphas accepts willingly and kindly any sacrifice offered to him, but then he will allegedly deceive the conjurer.

I marked everything that fits toward Sebastian. And also found a connection between Sebastian's contract mark and Solomons. Which are visible close. Just as the name mark of Malphas.

That's the contract mark with its vows.

That's the Solomon mark

And that's the original name mark of Malphas

Why the symbolism may be important? Because from all 72 demons of Solomon, there is only one demon who's name mark has a pentagram. And it's Malphas.

But there is more.

I wrote about my thoughts about Sebastian and Ciel having sort of mental connection. We saw it in the Weston Arc, when both seem to conservate by simply looks or thinking in the same direction. I wrote last year about it. And when I found the analysis I will link it here.

But watching the emerald witch arc and the twin scene on the chess board, I believe that it was Sebastian making contact with Ciel through his mind.

And this is also an ability of Malphas. He can invade the thoughts and dreams of humans.

Ah - and for everyone who wonders, why I marked the last part about deceiving the conjurer.

Old habits never die. That's why Sebastian tried to deceive Ciel within the first weeks of their contract. But our little earl was clever enough not to fall into his trap.

Of course all of this could be coincidence or simply eons away from what Yana's ideas are. But I love to make those researches and learn new stuff. So enjoy and if you want to converse about it, I am happy to write back.
