"Shemyaza and Azazel have fallen, and only I remain. But I'm fine with that. As long as I have Manitou, I can collect souls. Even better, I can have the winnings all to myself."
—Satanael, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
Satanael (サタナエル, Satanaeru)? is a demon in the series.
In the second Book of Enoch, Satanael is mentioned as a leader of the fallen angels that rebelled against YHVH, by refusing to bow to the human Enoch, leading to his imprisonment. Due to his name and role, he is considered an interpretation of Lucifer.
In some Gnostic traditions, Satanael is said to be an angel that once served the Demiurge. He rebelled when he realized that the Demiurge was not the true God and granted humanity the knowledge to liberate themselves from the Demiurge. In other traditions, he is said to have created the material universe as a second heaven to rule over and became the God of the Old Testament, making him an interpretation of the Demiurge.
During the final events of the Monolith, Spooky will appear at the ruined transmission tower, possessed by Satanael who plans to take over now that Azazel and Shemyaza are gone. Taunting the party, he suggests they "thank him for letting them die by their friend's hand," which he uses as a puppet and meat shield in the boss fight.
Persona 5
"An archangel who is said to be the form of Satan before he fell from Heaven. The second son of God, he rebelled against Him for freedom and bestowed free will and chaos upon humanity."
—Persona 5 compendium
Satanael is the ultimate Persona of the protagonist. He is summoned by breaking the chains sealing him as Arsene during the final battle, where the cheers of millions of Tokyo citizens heal and protect the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. His ultimate attack that finishes Yaldabaoth off in one blow is the Sinful Shell, an attack that combines the power of the Seven Deadly Sins into one in order to kill a god.
The appearance of Satanael in Persona 5 is completely different from Devil Summoner. In here, he resembles a massive, muscular demon with six bat wings, with the ones in the left still having feathers on their bases. He wears a golden mask with horns like those of a bull, and his armor resembles those of an army general outfit. His weapon is a Magnum with a long barrel, and his feet has very long claws as toes.
A bullet made from the Seven Deadly Sins that can pierce even a god. *

Trivia
Satanael's role and summoning in Persona 5 is based on the series interpretation of Lucifer, where he is summoned to champion freedom and chaos against the tyranny of Yaldabaoth's order. His summoning for the final battle even has him do the pose of Kazuma Kaneko's demon Lucifer artwork from Shin Megami Tensei II.
Satanael's fusion requirements in Persona 5 are not as long a list as the requirements for Izanagi-no-Okami, but make up for it in sheer expense; requiring anywhere from 800k to over 1 million yen to re-summon the component parts alone and not counting the extra money needed if the fusion is done under its base level of 95.
