  • Alastor, Alaster ou Alastair est un démon issu du christianisme[Quoi ?]. Le Dictionnaire infernal, de Johann Weyer[Quoi ?] le présente comme un puissant héraut au service des enfers, arborant des oreilles et de longues cornes de cerf, parfois même des sabots, selon ses apparitions. Ses attributs de cervidés trompent souvent la croyance populaire, le confondant avec le Wendigo, créature du folklore d'Amérique du nord. D'après les écrit du Dictionnaire infernal, Alastor possède une guitare nommée Heghbas, et tue ses victimes avec des musiques et sons démoniaques. Il utilise également une épée et un fouet. Selon l'ouvrage, Alastor est le héraut des enfers, le plus cruel des démons, servant les enfers et son roi, Satan. Il est représenté comme le bourreau des enfers, même s'il exécutait également les sentences divines. Alastor s'était rebellé contre l'autorité du prince des enfers, ce qui provoqua son bannissement, et sa réincarnation dans le corps d'un mortel. Il continua tout de même ensuite à tuer et maudire les humains dans le monde des vivants. (fr)
