Wall is described in grimoires as a grand and powerful duke of the dark empire. Wall appears in the form of a tall and formidable dromedary. When assuming a human appearance, he speaks Egyptian (masri). Wall possesses knowledge of the present, past, and future, a characteristic frequently attributed to powerful spirits in Western demonological traditions. He is said to command thirty-six legions of spirits and was formerly part of the order of powers (potestates) in angelology. Wall’s role is connected to the hierarchy established in texts such as the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and Lesser Key of Solomon.
