Belphegor is, in Christianity, a demon associated with one of the seven deadly sins. According to religious tradition, he helps people make discoveries. He seduces people by proposing incredible inventions that will make them rich. According to some demonologists from the 17th century, his powers are strongest in April. Peter Binsfeld, the auxiliary bishop of Trier and a witch hunter, wrote that Belphegor tempts through laziness. According to Binsfeld's Classification of Demons, Belphegor is the main demon of sloth in the Christian tradition. The anonymous author of the Lollard work, The Lanterne of Light, however, believed Belphegor to embody gluttony rather than sloth.
