Who is Pazuzu?

Pazuzu has been said to be many things, but one thing is clear- he is, in some sense, a master of the air. The biblical (Eph 2:2) reference, "Prince of the Powers of the Air" is probably talking about him, in fact. The name Pazuzu came from the Babylonians, but he has been called many things, including Suthri, Australis, and Quetzalcoatl. Most often associated with a southern or southwesterly wind, he is not usually characterized as benevolent himself but often assists humanity by keeping away plagues and assisting with aggriculture.
