Andras

Sower of discord, slayer of men.

This one in particular reminds me of the Prince of Egypt by Dreamworks and them invading the villages and killing the men so the army of the enemy doesn't stand much of a fighting chance. Without man power, you're pretty much screwed.

But anyway, they send this predatory baby down the river who gets picked up by this wealthy slave owning family and somehow witnesses and feels empathy in response to seeing a slave getting abused and goes on this journey to free these slaves because he falls in love with woman and decides to be her partner in freeing these slaves or something.

The first time he abuses the same slave girl and makes these mean rude remarks to her, and his mom looks at him disappointed and he rethinks his actions and then later he is able to feel empathy about it.

Stop romanticizing demons! This guys is just about the violent or harmful part of the whole thing. He's not about the family who finds the baby, he's not about the freeing of the slaves.

A violent demon reputed to be able to slaughter the master, servants, and all assistants in a household. This statement in Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft is usually taken to mean that Andras is sent out to kill others. In the same text, Andras is said to take the form of an angel with the head of a black night-raven. He appears wielding a deadly sharp sword and riding upon the back of a fierce black wolf. He is given the title "Author of Discords." In the Goeetia of Dr. Rudd, there is a slightly different entity on Andras. According to this text, the demon holds the rank of marquis. His purpose is to sow discord among men, but the statement about slaughter is written as a warning. Apparently, Andras has a particularly violent temperament, and those who are not careful when dealing with him run the risk of being killed along with everyone connected to them. Fortunately, the text provides the name of the angel that constrains Andras. That name is Anarel. Andras is also mentioned in Wierus's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and the Welsh Book of Incantations agrees that, if the exorcist is not wary, Andras will kill the exorcist and all companions. Andras governs thirty legions of spirits. See also BOOK OF INCANTATIONS, GOETIA, RUDD, SCOT, WIERUS.
