"You may struggle and resist as hard as you wish. But in the face of my shield, all of your efforts will be naught, and you will know your own shallowness!"
—Camael, Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon
Camael also known as Kamuel, Khamael, Chamuel, Camiel and Camniel, is a Judeo-Christian angel, often listed as one of the archangels. With his name meaning "He Who Sees God," he is said to be the angel of war and strength serving as the chief of the Powers and is depicted with a chalice, though he is said to hold a flaming sword when he led the force that expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. While there are many legends relating to him, he is never mentioned in the Bible and therefore is not fully recognized by the Catholic Church. He is also associated with the planet Mars and the day Tuesday while being one of the ten archangels of the Tree of Life, presiding over the Sephiroth Gevurah.
"The angel of god in Jewish mythology. He rules over the angels known as the Powers, and his name Camael means "one who sees god." He is also the commander of the angels of destruction, punishment, and death in addition to being the ruler of Mars."
—Shin Megami Tensei V lore
Camael appears in the quest "Angel of Destruction." After being directed by a Power to his location, he questions the protagonist over his Nahobino status and attacks them to uphold God's will. The protagonist defeats him, in which he reveals that the presence of a Nahobino other than the Creator would cause a schism. He also becomes unlockable for fusion after the battle.
Majin Tensei II[]
Camael is the real identity of Dr. Bates. Later on in the game, when the protagonist accesses the files of the Core of Megapolis in 2052 AD, he will arrive and ask a series of questions which will determine if the protagonist takes the Light or Dark Routes. However, the protagonist's alignment will not change if they are already Neutrally aligned.
Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon[]
If Raidou is Law Aligned, then Camael will join him in the final dungeon. If Raidou is Chaos or Neutral aligned, he will fight them in the final dungeon. He will no longer watch from afar any longer and will attempt to prevent Raidou from succeeding at stopping Shinado since he is not obedient to the Law.
