He has been described as being in the shape of Sagittarius, which is as a centaur with a bow and arrows. Additionally, and illustration of Buer, that has been later engraved, has been made depicting the demon as having the head of a lion and five goat legs surrounding his body to walk in every direction.
Overview
Like his Goetial comrades, Buer was once an angel that fell from grace after joining Lucifer's rebellion against God and Heaven. Given his appearance, he was likely of the Cherubim order and was among the angels that arranged the stars into constellations.
After his fall, he became a Great President of Hell with fifty legions of demons under his command. He appears when the Sun is in Sagittarius. He teaches natural and moral philosophy, logic, and the virtues of all herbs and plants, and is also capable of healing all infirmities (especially of men) and bestows good familiars.
Buer is also revealed to be Sparda's mentor when it came to discussions regarding philosophies and moral compasses. He taught the young knight about natural and moral philosophy as well as moral codes unique to a type individual's character. It is likely from Buer that Sparda developed some of his great wisdom which then grew overtime without more of Buer's teachings.
Original text from the Ars Goetia:
“The Tenth Spirit is Buer, a Great President. He appeareth in Sagittary, and that is his shape when the Sun is there. He teaches Philosophy, both Moral and Natural, and the Logic Art, and also the Virtues of all Herbs and Plants. He healeth all distempers in man, and giveth good Familiars. He governeth 50 Legions of Spirits, and his Character of obedience is this, which thou must wear when thou callest him forth unto appearance.”
From Tikaboo
“He appeareth in Sagittary, and that is his shape when the Sun is there. He teaches Philosophy, both Moral and Natural, and the Logic Art, and also the Virtues of all Herbs and Plants. He healeth all distempers in man, and giveth good Familiars. He governeth 50 Legions of Spirits.”
From the Luciferian Goetia by Michael Ford
“Buer should respond to the sorcerer by the means inspiration which leads to one seeking answers and results via Work itself. Buer is also Sabbatic familiar, giving the sorcerer insight and learning inspiration into Wort Cunning, Herbalism, ect. Buer is also a healing spirit and governs 50 Legions of spirits.”
From the Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly
“Seek Buer to transform the Self through thought. Including rectifying addiction or bad behaviors. Invoke Buer for his wisdom about when magick is warranted or not. He can help you weigh moral issues and help you distinguish between what is moral and what is natural.”
