Howard Stanton Levey, was the founder and High Priest of the
Church of Satan, author of
The Satanic Bible, and creator of the
religion known as
LaVeyan Satanism.
Anton LaVey was born in
Chicago,

LaVey pursed a variety of occupations before
Walpurgisnacht,

An eclectic individual, he was fond of music, painting, antique automobiles, firearms, and animals (particularly the big cats). He is survived by his mate, Blanche Barton, son Xerxes, and daughters Karla and Zeena.
