Story
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 game's heroine's. After the hero unseals Pazuzu from the game, they are declared the Messiahs by Pazuzu, who 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 given the Flame Talisman by Pazuzu via his girlfriend (who claims to have received it from a weird girl from outside) which allows them to cross over into the ruins of Tokyo.
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 Soloman'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. While he remains loyal to Pazuzu, the hero agrees with the witch's logic. Outraged, the friend leaves with Orthrus and the Soloman's Ring.
Sometime later, the friend is transformed into the Dark Hero, who continues to serve Pazuzu and the Messians. The Dark Hero later confronts the hero and heroine multiple times, such as when the hero enters Pazuzu's lair with the intention of killing him. He later infiltrates Bael's Cathedral, where he runs into the hero’s party again, but is defeated. Despite this, he manages to reach Bael first, but is fatally wounded. After witnessing the hero defeat Bael, the Dark Hero passes away.
