Orcus, &, is one of the demon princes, guaranteed to appear in Orcus Town in Gehennom.
Orcus does physical damage and some spell damage, both of which you should be ready for. He also carries a wand of death, although for any character with magic resistance, the main problem this poses is how to relieve him of it without him wasting too many charges (hint: wield a cockatrice corpse)
As a chaotic Demon Prince, Orcus can summon Yeenoghu and Demogorgon.
Encyclopaedia entry[]
Orcus, Prince of the Undead, has a ram's head and a poison
stinger. He is most feared, though, for his powerful magic
abilities. His wand causes death to those he chooses.
