Featured Article: Demons

Demon is a general term for any of the supernatural entities originating in The Other Place and commanded by magicians in the alternate world of the Bartimaeus Trilogy. Although considered disparaging and more than a little disrespectful by Bartimaeus, it is commonly used by magicians, particularly during their incantations. It is notable that during the course of the trilogy no other demon commented on the use of the word other than Bartimaeus, so finding it especially offensive may just be a quirk of his personality. While no real alternative to the word is presented within the stories (other than referring to demons by more specific terms), in the introductory 'List of Characters' found in some of the books, the author refers to the demons collectively as 'spirits'.

Bartimaeus

Added by LeanidTerbant

Bartimaeus is an ancient djinni of the fourteenth level (although he has also been referred to as a fourth level djinni) who narrates much of the story and is one of the three main protagonists of the trilogy. He has had many well known masters and although not the most powerful of djinn, Bartimaeus has survived for millennia largely due to his quick wittedness and guile - however he is referred to in Trismegistus's Manual as having 'great ingenuity and no little power' and also as being 'dangerous'.
