His origin probably lies in the ancient Persian demon Aesma Daeva. In early literature about him he is mischievous and considered a figure of fun. In later mythologies he is the chief of the demons often associated with Beelzebub. He is regarded as the cause of Solomon's excesses and disturbs marital happiness, as he did with the daughter of Raguel. By killing the seven husbands of Sarah, he is exorcised by the archangel Raphael at the behest of Tobias. FTP, identify this demon of Jewish folklore that figures in the Book of Tobit.
