The Demi-fiend is a recurring character and the protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. He was an ordinary boy who survives the world's destruction caused by The Conception and is forced to ingest a parasitic Magatama by the Blond Child, transforming him into a half-demon, half-human entity. With his newfound strength, he ventures into the post-apocalyptic Vortex World.

The Demi-fiend has also appeared in other Megami Tensei games since, either as an ally or as a difficult, optional boss. In his other appearances, he is known only by his title. The protagonist's real name, along with his nickname used by friends, is not given and is left up to the player to name in Nocturne.

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse

During the Challenge Quest "Messiahs in the Diamond Realm", Stephen transported the Demi-fiend's soul to the Diamond Realm alongside the Hero, Aleph, and Flynn. Each of them met an unavoidable fate in their original worlds as a result of YHVH's machinations; in the Demi-fiend's case, he was killed by Lucifer after defeating Kagutsuchi. Nanashi would eventually restore the bodies and memories of the four messiahs, culminating in a fight against Stephen himself. Once the battle was over, a portal opened in the Diamond Realm, allowing Demi-fiend and the other messiahs to return to their original worlds.

Shin Megami Tensei V

The Demi-fiend appears as an optional superboss in the subquest "Return of the True Demon," after defeating various fiends. The subquest becomes available upon purchase of the downloadable content of the same name.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner

In Digital Devil Saga, the Demi-fiend appears as an optional super boss in Anahata. He fights alongside the demons Cu Chulainn, Girimehkala, Pixie, Arahabaki, Titania, and Parvati, which are all summoned as duos during different phases of the fight. After defeating him, it is implied that he was just a hallucination caused by the gas in the area and a 'dying message' is left behind.
