Origin

The supplied sources do not provide an origin myth. In the demonological summaries cited Morax appears as a named, ranked spirit in compiled lists of demons—given offices such as Great Earl and President—without a narrative origin provided in the available excerpts.

Appearance

The provided traditional demonological summaries in the available sources do not give a consistent or authoritative physical description of Morax. Physical details appearing in modern roleplay and fiction are specific to those adaptations and are not corroborated by the classical demonology excerpts supplied.

Abilities

According to the demonological summaries cited, Morax 'teaches astronomy and all other liberal sciences' and is described as commanding thirty (thirty-two in some accounts) legions of demons. Modern occult commentary repeats the teaching aspect (treating him as a teaching demon). Other detailed powers or behaviors and the truncated continuation in one excerpt are not present in the supplied materials.
