Duke Vepar
"Vepar. - The Forty-second Spirit is Vepar, or Vephar. He is a Duke Great and Strong and appeareth like a Mermaid. His office is to govern the Waters, and to guide Ships laden with Arms, Armour, and Ammunition, etc., thereon. And at the request of the Exorcist he can cause the seas to be right stormy and to appear full of ships. Also he maketh men to die in Three Days by Putrefying Wounds or Sores, and causing Worms to breed in them. He governeth 29 Legions of Spirits, and his Seal is this, etc. "
-The Lesser Key of Solomon
So in short, Duke Vepar is very bad, and you don't want to summon him unless you want putrefying sores the moment he thinks he can get away with it.
The figure is from the extremely obscure Demon's Chronicle line from Kaiyodo, which included everything from Goetic demons to Egyptian gods to Biblical angels to even the Four Gods from Chinese and Japanese mythology. I could have removed Vepar from his base, but the visible pegs in his tail would have been more of a distraction than that base of his (the figures are meant to be chess pieces), and it looks good as an altar rising from the water, anyway.
