"We are the Three Wise Men. Beyond the reaches of time, we are one with the earth."

—Right Voice, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

The Three Wise Men are mysterious beings that engineer the conversion of the Schwarzwelt from a tool of Chaos into a gift for the side of Law. They aim to use its mysterious properties to allow it to consume the world and eradicate all free will and passion, and allow a world populated by mindless humans, ruled over by angels.

History

In Christian tradition, the Magi, also referred to as the Three Wise Men, are a group of distinguished foreigners who are said to have visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense.

Profile

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

Upon the Investigative Team's entrance to the Schwarzwelt, they partially cause a catastrophe that causes three of the ships of the team, the Elve, the Gigantic and the Blue Jet, to be scattered and lost; this has severe implications for the development of the story. Mastema is depicted as their servant, though amoral and capable of manipulation and deception in hopes of attaining his goals above those of the Wise Men.

When upon important junctions in the story, such as the destruction of Ouroboros and the arrival to Sector Horologium they forcefully interrupt whatever's happening to show the protagonists, who are ultimately those capable of deciding the fate of the Schwarzwelt and Earth, and present to them their own project of Earth. However, Louisa Ferre appeared and insulted them, mocking their project as a lifeless, undying world with no true death and no true life.

Should the Law Path be chosen, the Three Wise Men appear a final time to bestow the Protagonist and Zelenin with the Clement Bell Rare Forma. Mem Aleph mentions in the Law path that the Three Wise Men have some form of obligation to her, but by aiding the forces of Law against her means they have forgotten it.
