Orpheus is a Persona in the Persona series.

Profile

Origin

Orpheus is a legendary bard and hero of Greek lore. He earned the title "Master of Strings" due to his mastery of the lyre, which is able to charm everyone including inanimate objects whenever he plays. He is primarily known as the son of the Thracian King Oeagrus and the muse Calliope though in some accounts he is instead the son of the god Apollo. He appears in numerous famous tales, the most famous of which is his descent into the underworld in search of his recently deceased wife Eurydice.

Design

Orpheus is a robot with a predominantly blue and silver color scheme and a harp attached to its back. In Persona 3 Portable, the female protagonist has a version with a different color scheme; it has a gold and reddish brown body with long blonde hair. The female versions' harp is shaped like a heart.
