Orthrus appears as a servant of Pazuzu , and worked alongside the Partner before she broke away from Pazuzu's control. After reaching the ruins of Tokyo, Pazuzu instructs the hero and his friend to meet up with Orthrus at the Princess Hotel and assist him in taking out the Partner.

Orthrus continues to fight alongside the friend after his transformation into the Dark Hero, but is killed in battle with the hero's party.

However, he was killed by a blow from the club of Heracles, who came to the island as part of his Twelve Labors.
