Compendium

Compendium Entries
Shin Megami Tensei IV A fearful nationalist who fights for his ideology even after death.

They are dead people who believe in a unipolar system where the world is led by their own country. The ideologies they carried into death still burn brightly, and they are all the more dangerous with no sense of reason or restraint left.

Trivia

  • Despite wearing an American flag around their torso, Patriot's dialogue in Shin Megami Tensei IV indicates that they are a Japanese nationalist rather than an American nationalist.[1]

Nomenclature

Earlier official profiles mention the Patriot missile system developed by the United States and used in the Gulf War,[2][3][page needed] so this may be the demon's namesake (at least in part).
