An African-American man who dresses like a priest, but is really a dark summoner who doesn't care about the fate of the world as long as he can summon powerful demons. He is the one who caused the vampire disaster in Hirasaki. He doesn't wear a cross on his chest, but an ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol for life. He also wears gloves with pentagrams on the back and has a red pentagram on his left forehead. In his hand is a device resembling a closed bible which, when opened, revealed a hand-held computer for summoning demons, the back cover of which shows a goat's head and the words "For Evils"."

Compared to his slimmer form, Sid has become much more muscular and mastered the footwork style of Capoeira in Brazil. On his chest is the five-pointed star of Solomon and the Tetragrammaton (the four-lettered Hebrew word (יהוה) which reads YHWH), on his arms can be seen Goetian emblems (the 72 demons enshrined by King Solomon) and Hebrew text, which amplifies his power and protects him from demons. After successfully resurrecting Princess Inaruna, he fights Kyouji and the others with all his might, but is defeated. However, he still appears in the sequel, "Soul Hackers", in which it is revealed that he was ordered to resurrect Inaruna by the secret Phantom Society, who had been manipulating history from behind the scenes."

Profile[]
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner[]
"Origin: Unknown
A Devil Summoner, and an agent for a mysterious "organisation".
At first glance he appears to be a priest, but it goes without saying he does not preach the Word of God.
He can summon demons from his Bible-shaped COMP."
—Akuma Zensho
Sid Davis is a serial killer and Dark Summoner who kills the protagonist and Kyouji Kuzunoha near the start of the game. When he later encounters the protagonist in Kitayama University, he casts a spell to banish Kyouji's soul. This doesn't work, so he begins to battle the party. If he is defeated or eight turns pass, he will summon Shiki-Ouji before taking his leave. He also kidnaps the protagonist's girlfriend, Kumiko Hatano, after the defeat of Tenzan Tendou. After the Demiurge is defeated, he escapes into the Psuedo Astral Plane, where he is fought by the protagonist and Kyouji. His COMP is a bible, and he seems to have a very deep interest in myths. He collaborates with the Yakuza, Atsushi Nakagome and Seichii Yamashiro in the destruction of the five seals on behalf of his organization.
It is later revealed that by undoing the seals, Sid Davis is going to resurrect the Ancient Princess Inaruna, whose power will destroy the world. It is also revealed that the reason he kidnapped Kumiko was because she was a descendant of the princess, a necessary part of the ritual. He succeeds in summoning her, but is defeated by the protagonist after he transforms. Later, Inaruna is defeated as well, and Hirasaki City returns to normal.
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers[]
He appears as an optional boss in the EX dungeon, saying that he has returned from the dead to kill the protagonist. In battle, he summons the same demons the protagonist has.
