In demonology, Valefar (also Valefor, Malaphar, Malephar, Valafar[1]) is a Duke of Hell.[2] He tempts people to steal and is in charge of a good relationship among thieves. Valefar is considered a good familiar by his associates "till they are caught in the trap".[3] He commands ten legions of demons.[4]
He is represented as a lion with the head of a man, or as a lion with the head of a donkey.[4]
