He was usually considered to be a nobleman, and accordingly, he was usually busy with corrupting nobles, leaving other social classes to other devils. Tales that do mention his coat of arms overwhelmingly say it's Nowina -- albeit, with Polish coat of arms being often shared among a number of unrelated families, this did not lay any shame upon its other users.
