Profile

Persona 3

"By bonding with many people, Orpheus was once again born from the sea of the soul. He has awakened to the power of Cipher, which holds endless possibilities."

—Persona 3 compendium

Orpheus Telos can only be obtained by maxing out every single Social Link in one playthrough. Once the protagonist has completed all of the prerequisites, Igor will award the protagonist the Cipher's Mask AKA the Colorless Mask in the Velvet Room, allowing him to summon Orpheus Telos from the sea of the soul.

In the events of creating Orpheus Telos, Orpheus Telos of the Fool Arcana truly stands for nothingness, undefined and having limitless possibilities, as Orpheus Telos has only one skill, Victory Cry, a passive skill which completely restores HP and SP at the end of each battle. The rest of Orpheus Telos' skills can only be acquired via the predecessor Personas used to fuse him.

Orpheus Telos is normally created via hexagon fusion, but there are also several triangle fusions that will result in him (most involving either Messiah or Thanatos).  In such cases, he will only inherit up to five skills, depending on how many the predecessor Personas know.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth

"By bonding with many people, Orpheus was once again born from the sea of the soul. He has awakened to the power of the Cipher, which holds endless possibilities."

—Persona Q compendium

Orpheus Telos is the second free DLC Sub-Persona, released along with Thanatos and Magatsu-Izanagi (who are not free). His unique skill is Healing Harp, which restores the party's HP and removes ailments and Binds for 3 turns.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth

Orpheus Telos is the ultimate Persona of the P3 hero. He can be acquired after winning a battle against Elizabeth, Margaret, Theodore and Caroline and Justine.

Persona 5 Royal

Orpheus Telos exists within the game's files, but there is no model rendered, and as such, attempting to use this Persona in battle will result in the game freezing up.

Etymology

Orpheus Kai, the Japanese name, translates to Orpheus Modified, a call back to the Japanese names of the Prime Personas in the Persona 2 duology.

Trivia

• Although the female protagonist's Orpheus has a slightly different design and coloration than the male's does, the female's Orpheus Telos is exactly the same.
• The compendium's description of Orpheus Telos (describing his "endless possibilities") matches the ability to completely customize his skills, as Orpheus Telos' skill list depends solely on the skills of the Personas used to fuse him.
