Profile

Origin

Michael is a chief among the archangels venerated in Abrahamic traditions. His name comes from the Hebrew word מִיכָאֵל Mikha'el, transliterated as ميكائيل Mīkāl in Arabic, meaning "Who is like God?". In Judaism, Michael is believed to serve as a protector of Israel and guardian of the Jewish people. Christianity's portrayal of Michael is much the same, accepting him as the warrior angel who will lead the heavenly armies against evil. In Islam, Michael (Mīkāl) is said to compass God's prestige, generate natural phenomena such as rain, and is credited for purifying the prophet Muhammad's soul before his pilgrimage from Mecca to Jerusalem, and later his ascension to Heaven.

Design

In both Shin Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei II, Michael appears as a red-skinned humanoid with blue hair and white-and-red wings. He wears golden armor over his torso and a white tunic with gold trim over his lower body. He wears blue bangles on his wrists and ankles, and carries a spear in his right hand.

In Shin Megami Tensei IV, Michael is a pale white face with three eyes and a protruding yellow tongue. The head is grasped by two hands, which are attached to an intricate serpentine body embellished with several eyes, claws, and blades.
