Original text from the Ars Goetia:


“The Twenty-seventh Spirit is Ronove. He appeareth in the Form of a Monster. He teacheth the Art of Rhetoric very well and giveth Good Servants, Knowledge of Tongues, and Favors with Friends or Foes. He is a Marquis and Great Earl; and there be under his command 19 Legions of Spirits.”


From the Luciferian Goetia by Michael Ford


“He is a Great Earl and Marquis whom inspires a comprehension of learning within the circle. Ronove is an excellent Familiar which brings instinctual knowledge via waking and dreaming of the Alphabet of Desire, the language of the subconscious which empowers spells and talismans.”


From the Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly


“The Daemon of knowledge and wisdom in the Dukante Hierarchy. Ronove can also be invoked to cause people to see your way of thinking or feel the need to help you. Be careful of invoking Ronove to control others because it will often turn into a lesson for your benefit.”


From Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (Liber officiorum spirituum) by Johann Weyer


“(25) Ronove [Roneve] a Marquis and an Earl, he resembles a monster, he brings singular understanding in rhetoric. He gives faithful servants, and has knowledge of languages. He brings favors of friends and foes. He has 19 legions under him.”


However you pronounce his name, Ronove is one of the more interesting demons in my opinion. He is highly aware of the attention that demons are given by humans and is welcoming to those who wish to know more about the demon world. He has stated to multiple conjurers that instead of trying to pronounce his name (which at best attempt is a French version of "Ron-Ven"), he suggests that conjurers simply call him "Ben".

It comes as no surprise that "Ben" has a good sense of humor. He specializes in using the power of language to improve one's standings with both friend and enemies. He is a master of multiple languages and teaches others how to make their arguments peacefully, logically, and with great eloquence. Ronove also provides his favorite summoners with familiars - spirit helpers who can assist with magical teachings and exercises.

Despite his good nature, Ronove is no passive spirit. He is a master of using the mind to affect the physical world. He is a master of fire and can crate and move the power of the flame with only his mind. Not only this, he holds the power of telekinesis - the ability to move physical objects without touching them, and can teach this to summoners, though he will only do so to those most dedicated to his cause.

Both a Marquis and a Count among his fellow demons, Ronove is known as the "Taker of Old Souls". His role is somewhat like what we know as the "grim reaper" - he harvests the souls of humans and animals who are old and on the far reaches of death itself. Even though he is known as a "nice guy" with a good sense of humor, Ronove takes this role seriously and considers himself very much a champion of the dead and nearly-deceased.

Old images of Ronove show him as a short demon/monster holding a staff. Those who have encountered him report that he looks more like a tribal warrior, with golden hair and a golden aura about him.
