Profile
Megami Tensei II
A inhabitant of the bomb shelter where the game begins, he is introduced when he forces the hero to input his name into the Devil Busters game, alongside the hero's and the heroine's. After the hero unseals Pazuzu from the game, they are declared the messiahs by Pazuzu. He tasks them with saving the world by ridding it of demons. After teaching him magic, Pazuzu warns them that demons have invaded the shelter through the computers. After defeating Nebiros and reaching the surface, they're given the Flame Talisman by Pazuzu via his girlfriend, Hiroko (who claims to have received it from a weird girl from outside), which allows them to cross over into the mainland.
Once there, Pazuzu orders them to join with his servant Orthrus, who is at the Princess Hotel. Along the way, the two hear of a witch who is said to have tamed Orthrus, although the people recommend not fighting her. Once at the Princess Hotel, Orthrus joins them, claiming to know how to defeat the witch at Tokyo Tower. As they head there, they slay the Jabberwocky, opening the way for members of the Order of Messiah, who hail them as saviors and give them the Solomon's Ring. Pleased by the praise, he declares that by following Pazuzu, they could do no wrong. However, once at Tokyo Tower, the witch questions them on Pazuzu's true motives and on their loyalty to him. The hero agrees with the witch's logic. Outraged, the friend leaves with Orthrus and the Solomon's Ring.
Sometime later, the friend is transformed into the Dark Hero, who continues to serve Pazuzu. The Dark Hero later runs into the hero and heroine right before confronting Pazuzu in Shinjuku, with the intention of killing him, but he and Orthrus are defeated. He later infiltrates Bael's Castle, where he encounters into the hero’s party again. The Dark Hero summons demons to attack the heroes, however he fails to defeat them. He then does battle with Bael, but is fatally wounded. After witnessing the hero defeat Bael, the Dark Hero passes away. With his last breath, he tells that the "true enemy" is in Makai. Afterwards, the hero places the Solomon's Ring on the deceased friend's finger in memory of him.
Kyūyaku Megami Tensei
In Kyūyaku Megami Tensei, however, it is possible to stay with the friend instead of siding with the partner.
