The first is 1930s Moscow, which is visited by Satan in the guise of Woland or Voland (Воланд), a mysterious gentleman "magician" of uncertain origin, who arrives with a retinue that includes the grotesquely dressed "ex-choirmaster" valet Korov'yev (Fagotto) (Фагот, the name means "bassoon" in Russian and some other languages), a mischievous, gun-happy, fast-talking black cat Behemoth (Бегемот, a subversive Puss in Boots, the name referring to the Biblical monster and straight away denoting the Russian word for Hippopotamus), the fanged hitman Azazello (Азазелло, hinting of Azazel), the pale-faced Abadonna (Абадонна, a reference to Abbadon) with a death-inflicting stare, and the witch Hella (Гелла). The havoc wreaked by this group targets the literary elite, along with its trade union, MASSOLIT (a Soviet-style abbreviation for "Moscow Society of Literature", but possibly interpretable as "Literature for the Masses"; one edition of the book also mentions that this could be a play on words in Russian.

Woland, a German name for Satan appears in several variants of the old Faust legends under the names Valand, Woland, Faland, and Wieland. Luciano Lopes
Azazel is described also as a fallen angel and Lucifer's standard bearer.
Woland
A "foreign professor" who is "in Moscow to present a performance of "black magic" and then expose its machinations". The exposure (as one could guess) never occurs, instead Woland exposes the greed and bourgeois behaviour of the spectators themselves. Satan in disguise.
Behemoth
An enormous (said to be as large as a hog) black cat, capable of standing on two legs and talking.
Koroviev/Fagotto
An "ex-choirmaster". Woland's assistant.
Azazello
A menacing, fanged and wall-eyed member of Woland's retinue.
Hella
Beautiful, redheaded witch. Serves as maid to Woland and his retinue. Often remarked as "being perfect were it not for a purple scar on her neck".
