Tir In ancient Persian lore, the angel of June and governing angel of the 13th day

body of a fish, with a boar’s head. His one arm is black while the other is white.
On his head rests a crown. In Muslim lore, he is the demon of fatal accidents and
one of the five sons of the fallen archangel Iblis.
