History
Seraphim are angels with many wings in Judeo-Christian mythology. Their name means "burning ones", indeed seraphim are usually depicted as angels as fire and are described as being aflame with the love of God. Satan, or Lucifer was said to have been a seraph sporting 12 wings before he fell.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
Seraph is an extremely high-level demon found in the depths of Sector Horologium, created by a ritual carried out by eight angels, one from each angelic rank, from Angel to Cherub, fusing themselves together to create the massive holy being. Its relation with the Protagonist varies depending upon the selected path: if the Protagonist has chosen the Law route, it will inform of the return of its enemy, the monstruous Mara. It will then post an EX Mission calling for Mara's extermination. Upon Mara's death, it will meet with the Protagonist and request to join his party. This will also unlock the special Seraph Fusion, which, like the ritual, requires an Angel, an Archangel, a Principality, a Power, a Virtue, a Dominion, a Throne, and a Cherub.

In the Chaos route, the Protagonist instead meets with Mara first in Sector Grus, and receive an EX Mission to kill the angels before they combine into Seraph. If he attempts to stop the fusion, he is swatted away and Seraph comes into existence anyway. Upon its defeat, Mara appears and will try to join the Protagonist.
