Hecate (ヘカーテ, Hekāte)? is a demon in the series.
History
Hecate or Hekat was a popular chthonic goddess, possibly originating among the Carians of Anatolia; the region where most theophoric names invoking Hecate, such as Hecataeus or Hecatomnus, progenitor of Mausollus, are attested, and where Hecate remained a great goddess into historical times, at her unrivaled cult site in Lagina. While many researchers favor the idea that she has Anatolian origins, it has been argued that Hecate must have been a Greek goddess. The earliest inscription is found in late archaic Miletus, close to Caria, where Hecate is a protector of entrances.
She has been associated with childbirth, nurturing the young, gates and walls, doorways, crossroads, magic, lunar lore, torches and dogs. In Ptolemaic Alexandria and elsewhere during the Hellenistic period, she appears as a three-faced goddess associated with ghosts, witchcraft and curses.

Megami Tensei
Hecate rules over the Mazurka Corridor. A thief known as Gaia is attempting to kill her, and has even stolen the Silver Relief, an item needed to progress through the dungeon.

After the triumph over Hecate, the Orb of Resolve is found and Latos' Statue will shatter.
