I'm not sure. Paul says in Corinthians: "No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons."
He uses the plural, when speaking about pagan sacrifices to demons. I'm open to the idea that Baal and Moloch are the same demon, or working for Lucifer directly or indirectly. I'm no theologian, but I don't believe that they are all the same guy.
I have found that Baal = Moloch = Lucifer = Satan = etc, and I wouldn't even claim this unless I felt I had compelling evidence to back it up. And I would relate to you any part of it, but in a way that's pointless and I'll tell you why.
If someone presents you with evidence contrary to what you currently believe, it's the easiest thing in the world to find reason to discount it. You have to defend your own position, right? Totally instinctive.
The dynamic is entirely different when you find evidence on your own. If you're expending the effort, then you're in a mindset to learn.
So what I would suggest is this: as you continue researching and encountering information, just keep the thesis in the back of your mind. When you come across something relevant, just say to yourself, "I wonder how this fits with what that jackass on the Internet said?"
Who knows, of course, but I think you may find that the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall more neatly into place.
The evidence I'm relying on is Paul in the Bible, which, yea yea, the Devil can quote scripture too, but that's pretty good evidence for talking about there being multiple demons. Hell (pun intended) do you remember Legion, the pack of demons thrown out by Jesus into the herd of swine? Or that Mary Magdeline was possessed by no less than 7 demons the Bible says.
If we are talking about demons, there are lots of them.
Oh, I completely agree there are numerous entities that we call demons. The reason I use that tortured wording is that as soon as you say "demon", it brings up all these connotations of what we think we know about them, which tends to short-circuit a rigorous study of their precise origin and nature. We are crippled if we try to battle what we incorrectly believe we understand.
At present, I'm most focused on their origin. I feel it's comfortably established that Satan commanded 200 Fallen Angels and their hybrid children were the Nephilim. This group is clearly associated with demons, but what is the exact relationship? It's a question barely studied, and when it is it's almost exclusively baseless claims and charlatans. Very poor scholarship.
It's still not at all clear, but after absorbing quite a bit of related evidence, my speculation is that when the Nephilim died, they were not able to either move on to the next realm or to reincarnate. They persist here as discarnate entities feeding on loosh, and work in concert with Satan and the Fallen Angels to obtain it.
I'm currently on the lookout for evidence to confirm or refute this. But the handful of researchers are so carried away with their own biases and in love with their own conclusions that it's very difficult to get to bare evidence. To get to it, it's like demolishing a house just to get at a bag of chips in the cabinet. Not fun.

What I know of the nephilim, I know from this podcast:
