The one who wrote Coraline, and co-wrote the book of Good Omens and made the TV show, also the Sandman comics writer and co-creator who made the Sandman TV show. Quite nice really.
As known from Ars Goetia, Shax is a Great Marquis of Hell, "with power over 30 legions of demons on evil horses", and Furfur is an Earl of Hell, ruler of 26 legions. But by 1941 they both are mere receptionists at the Admissions, although Shax retained her connections in the Council. Was there something that caused them to be demoted, or did they have no titles at all in this version of Hell?
Thank you!
Things like the Ars Goetia get written by credulous humans. If you were Furfur and you’d wound up talking to some humans, are you going to tell them you’re working a desk with little opportunity for advancement, or that you’re an Earl of Hell and ruler of 26 legions, and wishing that you’d also thrown in the evil horses?
