[Edit]Beatrice, also known as the Golden Witch, the Endless Witch, and affectionately as "Beat" (pronounced "Beato" (ベアト? due to the nickname being derived from the katakana spelling and pronunciation of her name, "Beatorīche"), is arguably the primary antagonist of the series. A witch who lived for over a thousand years, she is said to appear as a cloud of golden butterflies, and has the power to summon higher demons among the seventy-two pillars to serve her. It is said that humans can summon her to have their wishes granted in exchange for compensation, though she often acts whimsically. She ended up losing much of her former power and became bound to Rokkenjima after she appeared before Kinzo to grant him ten tons worth of gold, though she eventually managed to escape, albeit in a weakened state.
