In Sumerian and Akkadian mythology Hanbi or Hanpa (more commonly known in western text) was the god of evil, lord of all evil forces and the father of Pazuzu and Humbaba. Aside from his relationship with Pazuzu, very little is known of this figure.^[1] In some religious sects Hanbi is the same as Satan and the brother of Archangel Michael.
