Profile

Aleph, initially referred to as "Hawk", is a gladiator and amnesiac man living in the Valhalla district of Tokyo Millenium. He is praised and noticed for his exceptional fighting skills, and is equipped with a COMP with the Demon Summoning Program installed, enabling him to summon and command demons. He has long black hair, has two gun holsters, and wears yellow and black armor across all of his designs.

In his original design, he wears a white scarf and blue-tinted goggles that connect to his white COMP. In his Playstation redesign, his goggles are swapped with a visor. His COMP is now black and, along with his armor, has a sleeker look to it. His footwear is curled at the end, and he is noticeably wearing a lot less straps. "Aleph" is named after the 1st letter in the Hebrew alphabet, whose name means "ox".

Game Appearances

Shin Megami Tensei II

Before the start of the game, the Protagonist is found fighting a demon in Valhalla by a gladiator trainer named Okamoto. Impressed with his fighting skills and seeing that he cannot remember anything, Okamoto names him Hawk and recruits him to his gym, seeing his potential as a gladiator. Hawk further impresses him by going through a Virtual Battler unscathed and earning himself the high score. Once the game begins, Hawk is awoken from his sleep by Okamoto who recalls the circumstances that led him to be a gladiator there and demands that he train for the upcoming tournament finals to be held at the Colosseum. After getting some training done, Okamoto sends him off to use the Virtual Battler of the other gym, and on the way, is told by a civilian that someone is looking for him, which prompts him into a flashback involving an unknown man asking him to name someone. If Hawk chooses not to name the person, he will be told that their name is Zayin, the same person the man says is looking for Hawk after the flashback ends. Hawk also comes across a Fortune Teller, who searches his soul and finds the name of a woman who she describes is very important to him. He is asked to provide a name for the woman, and if he opts not to, he will be told her name is Hiroko. When he finally enters a Virtual Battler, he meets Stephen inside, who installs the Demon Summoning Program onto his COMP, thereby giving him the ability to recruit and summon demons. When he enters it again, he receives another flashback where he is asked to name someone. If he refuses to name them, the unknown man will say their name is Gimel.

When the day of the tournament finals comes, Hawk is set to fight Red Bear in a dungeon match, where both opponents must go through the dungeon to pick up items and fight off demons as they reach the ring in the middle. Right as Hawk enters the ring to commence his fight, he is hit with another naming flashback, where this time refusing to name them will have their name be Daleth. As their match begins, Hawk is snapped out of his reverie by Red Bear. Aleph wins the fight, and so becomes the newest champion of Valhalla, which finally allows Hawk to use shops around town and lets Okamoto take over Haneda's gym.

While celebrating with Okamoto in his new gym, Hawk is approached by a Holy Knight named Hiroko, who requests his help in finding a child she lost in the confusion of an explosion that occurred at the Center 6 months prior. Believing that the ones responsible for the explosion, the scientists Hanada and Mekata, were also responsible for the child's disappearance, she tracked the former of them to Madam's mansion in Valhalla, and as Madam usually invites new Champions to her mansion, she wishes for Hawk to take her with him as a guest, which he agrees on doing. Coincidentally, Hawk receives the invitation from Madam's butler at that same moment, so the two head to the location immediately. There, Madam greets Hawk and requests that he find and bring in the same scientist that Hiroko was speaking about, Hanada, who had been working for her before fleeing. Madam offers them assistance in the form of her pet Cerberus, after which they track Hanada down to the Slums. When the party confronts him on the bottom floor, Hanada opens a portal to the Makai and tries to order the demon that comes out of it to attack them, but it quickly kills him before turning it's attention onto Hawk's group.

Trivia

• In the Super Famicom version of Shin Megami Tensei II, when Nadja fuses with Hiroko at the Internment Camp, a message will pop up saying that each of Hiroko's stats have been raised by one point. This is bugged however; Hiroko's stats will not actually increase. Additionally, if Aleph does not have Nadja with him when he rescues Hiroko, his stats will actually receive the stat increase instead. These bugs were fixed in future versions of the game.
• Aleph received his COMP as a Colosseum tournament prize.
