The 57th spirit of the Goetia and a great President of Hell. He first appears as a leopard, but after some time will take the form of a man. He gives skill in all liberal sciences and true answers concerning divine and secret things. He can change any men into any shape the exorcist may desire, and the one that is changed will not know it.
He can also put them in a state of insanity on which the victim will believe that their identity has changed. The delusion, however will only last for an hour. Ose governs over 30 legions of spirits.

Trivia
Ose in Tokyo Revelation is called Satan in the English dub, but is called President in the original Japanese version.
Prior to the PlayStation 2 era, Ose's sprite was a palette swap of Flauros's; the artwork was even dedicated to the latter. In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, even though both Fallen demons received updated designs, Ose's 3D model was based on Flauros's outdated design with his original skin palette, while Flauros's model is based on the updated design. This continued in all subsequent games which use 3D demon/Persona models until Persona 5 in which Ose's 3D model was based on the revised artwork.
