Geryon is a triple, primordial, pre-diabolic power of the waters of chaos — three puppet torsos speaking with one voice, bearer of the trumpet of the abyss — who ruled Zaira by consuming its actors and dragged Coyote into the Styx.

Description
His triple body is composed of the performers Maristón, Minborgen and Arion, whose highlighted syllables spell Ge-ri-ón (crossing with the Pantheon of Dorotea). In his other face he is a guide of hell, an archdevil, who delivered a certain tribute to Asmodeus.
The capture of Coyote
A special-delivery letter arrived from “Papa Graz’zt” (Graz’zt), asking why they had killed his cambions and enclosing a list with one name marked; reading it aloud, the emissaries ended up saying “Geryon” three times. The creature rose from the waters beneath the lake, read Coyote’s past, present and future, understood that he was trapped in the cycle, obtained his “I accept”, and dragged him into the current of the Styx without attacking anyone else. Coyote later reappeared as an ally; his passage through Geryon was the hinge of that change.
