Sadly there is no way for Sarishian's in the current system to have their Demons summoned and not visible to the mundane eye like they were able to in the past.
The
ARPG still has flavor text about Sarishans being potentially guarded by invisible Infernals, but there's no way in the rules to have invisibility.
(This is the same flavor text that Eric Gorman mentioned as being in the old
Codex Arcanis, which applied when d20 D&D did have magic invisibility.)
There's nothing to say that a Sarishan can't play up that there are invisible infernals waiting to do their bidding at a moment's notice regardless of the truth of the matter.
Also, there are plenty of ways to explain the presence of lack thereof of invisible infernals in ARG - everything from they don't exist, to they haven't been released yet (because they're more powerful) to they can effectively hide in plain sight (One with the Shadows) to it's a spell not available to PCs or others.
There are a bunch of things that it was easy to do in D&D that cannot be done anymore or only with great difficulty in ARG. Especially with 5E starting up there will be differences in what's "true" from an effects and campaign perspective.
