Quotes

 * "I'll have all the money! Garnishment!!" - Valefor.


 * "Now, everyone and their grandmother can name a tricky asshole in their life, physical or not. And while some of those tricky assholes have no redeeming qualities, Valefor here actually does have a lot of use. Demons that are suggested to be good familiars definitely do not fuck around – a strong and loyal demon to protect you can be hard to find in this economy. Do your best not to keep all your eggs in one basket with this guy, but he’s definitely got a lot going for him. I could see him originally being seen as the demonic embodiment of a mercenary – fiercely loyal, but subject to turn on you when something else tempts them." - A Demon Hunter.


 * "Valefar, alias Malephar [Malaphar], is a strong duke, comming foorth in the shape of a lion, and the head of a theefe [or “barking”], he is verie familiar with them to whom he maketh himself acquainted, till he hath brought them to the gallowes, and ruleth ten legions." - Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.
