Demiurge

Demiurge from SMT: Devil Summoner and Strange Journey

The Demiurge is a recurring demon in the Megami Tensei series. Gnosticism portrays him as an inferior "evil" god who created the world who appears as the "God" of the Old Testament. He was also known by the Gnostics as Yaldabaoth. He can be compared to YHVH, in fact they could be the same due the fact that they are both the Old Testament God.

Demiurge being the same as YHVH could be backed up by what he says in Strange Journey. Before you fight him he says "WORSHIP ME! THE CREATOR OF ALL, UNPARALLELED BY ANY!"

The concept of a Demiurge is that it is an artisan figure responsible for the fashioning and maintainence of the physical universe. Even if it's a fashioner, it isn't a creator figure in a monotheistic sense; the demiurge itself and the material it uses to create and fashion the universe are considered uncreated and eternal or the product of another being, depending on the system.
