Sandalphon is prominently featured in Jewish mysticism, such as the Kabbalah where he resides in the Sephirot of Malkuth alongside his "twin brother" Metatron. Sandalphon is said to be responsible for determining the gender of a person in one's embryonic state, and in other accounts said to be a guardian angel who delivers prayers to God.
"Metatron's twin brother in Judeo-Christian lore. He makes garlands of prayers that are in Hebrew to present to God. He is also the master of heavenly songs. As his brother Metatron is known as the "bright angel", he is the "dark angel"."

Sandalphon, like a few other Redux-exclusive demons before him, is unlocked for fusion by finding a switch in an isolated part of the Upper Layer of the Empyrean Ascent. Upon flipping the switch, Sandalphon awakens, and notes that there is still time before he is required to sing God's praises in the new world. He leaves, and becomes available for fusion. He can only be fused using Aniel and Kazfiel.
Sandalphon is the ultimate Persona of the Moon Arcana. He is unlocked after the protagonist completes the Moon Arcana Social Link with Ai Ebihara. Unlike in Persona 3, he does not require a pentagon spread for fusion; a triangle spread with the 3 Moon Personas below him is the recommended method.
