Hanbi

Mesopotamian god of evil

In Sumerian and Akkadian mythology (and Mesopotamian mythology in general) Hanbi or Hanpa (more commonly known in western text) was the god of evil, god of all evil forces and the father of Pazuzu.[1]

Aside from his relationship with Pazuzu, very little is known of this figure.[2][failed verification]
