  • In Christian demonology (Late Medieval- Early Modern European), Bathym (also spelled Bathin, Mathim, Marthim [Batym is a very uncommon spelling, possibly even a typo]) is a demon with the title of Great Duke of Hell, commanding 30 legions of demons. He appears as a very strong man with a serpent's tail riding a pale horse. He has knowledge of precious stones and herbs and can teleport people around the world.

Batym is 1 of 69 demons listed in the Pseudomonarchia Dæmonum and 1 of 72 listed in the Ars Goetia (the first section of the Lesser Key of Solomon). Only two Demons bear the title Grand [Rank] in their name. Many of the demons from these texts have titles bearing Grand or Great in their name. It seems odd to keep the Grand/Great part for some NMs, but not for others.
