That is not true. They are to represent the black African Moors who took over the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). This is why in their Chirstmas story they come from Spain with Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas operated by himself or in the companionship of a devil. Having triumphed over evil, it was said that on Saint Nicholas Eve the devil was shackled and made his slave (a devil) a helper of the saint. The Christians saw the Muslim black African Moors as the devil to white Christian Europeans.

Your are not correct.

The Babylonian king Belshazzar (Balthazar)was from Babylon, located in present-day Al Hillah, Babylon Province, Iraq. That's not Spain.

Zwarte Pieten do not represent your so called Baltaser.
