Virtue

Virtue as she appears in Shin Megami Tensei II

Virtue (ヴァーチャー, Vāchā) or (ヴァーチュー, Vāchū) is a demon in the series.

History

In the Christian hierarchy of angels, Virtues are part of the second sphere and watch over the movement of the heavenly bodies so that order is maintained. They are also said to be the fifth rank of angel (possibly referring to Maimonides' hierarchy, where they would be equivalent to the Jewish definition of Seraphim), and apparently are responsible for the distribution of miracles.

Profile

Shin Megami Tensei

Virtues are simply recolored Dominions.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

Virtues appear as normal enemies in the Amala Temple and the ruins of Mifunashiro, as well as the Third Kalpa of the Labyrinth of Amala. Additionally, the White Rider will summon Virtues to its side (up to two) whenever possible.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE

"The fifth class of angels, ranked second among the Second Sphere. Their name signifies the virtue of God.
Virtues lack physical bodies and cannot directly affect reality. They are known as "the shining ones" and "the luminous ones." Virtues manifest themselves in the form of miracles. They create miracles before all who strive toward noble goals or fight in the name of good, bestowing favor and courage upon them.
It is said that two of these angels of might were summoned to accompany Christ during his Ascension. They also acted as midwives for the birth of Cain, Adam and Eve's first child."

—Strange Journey Compendium
