Megami Ibunroku Persona
Takahisa Kandori is the head of Saeki Electronics & Biological & Energy Corporation, which is used as a front to further development of the DVA System. Using the reality-altering system, Kandori enters Maki Sonomura's mind, allowing him to make contact with her malevolent Id, Aki, through which he is able to gain control over half of Mikage-cho. While ultimately successful in becoming a demigod, Kandori becomes nihilistic in his outlook, losing his interest in the power he had accrued, and is on the verge of giving himself up to the group of St. Hermelin alumni who had fought their way to him when Kei Nanjou pelted him with insults and taunts, prompting him to summon Nyarlathotep as his Persona and prepare for his final battle.

In the confrontation with him, he asks only one thing of the party: kill him so he can experience death. In the end, Nyarlathotep possesses his body, forcing him into a superpowered stage before finally allowing him to die at the party's hands. He wields a one-handed sword.

During the Snow Queen Quest, Kandori appears younger in a reflection of his St. Hermelin High School days.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
During the events of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, Takahisa Kandori, (now called Guido Kandori in the NA version, while suggesting the name of "Guido Sardenia" used in Megami Ibunroku Persona's NA version was nothing but an alias) is brought back to life through the power of Kototama performed by the NWO. During the course of the game it is revealed that Nyarlathotep summoned him due to his corruption from Megami Ibunroku Persona. The scars on his body appear in the same places as those of Tatsuya Suou's marks.

He is fought in the Undersea Ruins alongside Chizuru Ishigami, who is implied to have developed feelings for him, which he at least partly reciprocates. When defeated, both plead to be left to die in the collapsing Ruins despite the pleas of his old adversaries (Kei Nanjou or Eriko Kirishima) to leave the derelict structure. He expresses some regret for his chosen path, but he admits he also believes he's too old to change. He also admits having developed some fondness for Kei Nanjou following his exile to another dimension after his defeat in Megami Ibunroku Persona.
