Dictionnaire Infernal – Collin de Plancy (1863) (paraphrased)
Forcas/ Forras/ Furcas is a knight and high president of hell controlling 29 legions of demons. He appears as a man with a long beard and white hair, rides a horse, and carries a pointed dart. He teaches the virtues of herbs and precious stones, logic, esthetics, chiromancy, pyromancy, and rhetoric. He can make one invisible, ingenious, and articulate. He also can find lost things and discover treasures.
