Melchizedek is a demon in the series.
Melchizedek, also known as Melchisedech, Melkisetek or Malki Tzedek, is a biblical figure known for his wisdom. He was the king of Salem and priest of El Elyon mentioned in the 14th chapter of the Book of Genesis . He brings out bread and wine and then blesses Abram and El Elyon, in the time of Abraham.
Chazalic literature, specifically Targum Jonathan, Targum Yerushalmi and the Babylonian Talmud, presents the name as a nickname title for Shem, the son of Noah. In Christianity, according to the Epistle to the Hebrews, Jesus Christ is identified as "High priest forever in the order of Melchizedek," and so Jesus assumes the role of high priest once and for all. Josephus refers to Melchizedek as a "Canaanite chief" in War of the Jews, but as a priest in Antiquities of the Jews. Philo identifies Melchizedek with the Logos as priest of God , and honored as an untutored priesthood.
The Qumran Scrolls, also indicate that Melchizedek was used as a name of the archangel Michael , interpreted as a heavenly priest; Michael as Melchi-zedek contrast with Belial , who is given the name of Melchi-resha "king of wickedness." This connection with an archangel may be the reason he is sometimes treated as an angel in some depictions, specifically a power .
Melchizedek is also an angel in Gnosticism, governing peace and righteousness. While Jesus was the savior of the people, Melchizedek was the savior of the angels, and sometimes is said to be greater than Christ himself. According to gnostics, he was the former king of Salem before ascending to heaven without dying.

"An angel of Gnosticism, governing peace and righteousness. While Jesus was the savior of the people, Melchizedek was the savior of the angels, and sometimes is said to be greater than Christ Himself. To be specific, he is actually a Power , and used to be human, the king of Salem." —Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers 3DS compendium
Melchizedek is the ultimate Persona of the Justice Arcana . He can be fused by maxing out Chihiro Fushimi 's or Ken Amada 's Social Link for the male and female protagonists, respectively.
His Heart Item is Radiant Halo , which nullifies Light attacks to the bearer.
Melchizedek was summoned by Makoto against Arcana Hanged Man .

"An angel of Gnosticism, said to be born from Sophia. In the Bible, he is mentioned as a righteous king." —Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth compendium
"An angel of Gnosticism, governing over peace and righteousness. Though said to be the savior of the angels, he used to be a human, the king of Salem." —Persona 5 background
Melchizedek is the fifth Persona of the Justice Arcana and can be found as a Persona in the Depths of Mementos with the title "Pagan Savior." He is the first Persona to learn the Mahamaon and the God's Hand skills. When itemized through Electric Chair execution in the Velvet Room , Melchizedek produces a Mahamaon Skill Card . Melchizedek is required to summon Throne through advanced fusion , alongside Power and Dominion . He is also required to perform an advanced fusion to summon Metatron alongside Principality , Power, Dominion, Sandalphon and Michael. Melchizedek is also utilized in the advanced fusion recipe to summon Sraosha .
Melchizedek is one of the brothers Enoch and confronts Jin as he goes through Enoch's palace. After his defeat, it is revealed that he is not the true Melchizedek and the demon disguised as him disappears. The real Melchizedek's statue can be found in the Highest Peak, where he can be freed by Jin.
