Shin Megami Tensei (A-Mode DDS)	Origin: Israel A demon that presides over swords and chaos. He is also said to be the demon that holds sway over revenge. In Hebrew, his name means "Fierce Lion" or "One Like a Lion." He was Enoch's guardian angel, but fell from grace when the angels revolted. He is the keeper of demonic swords, such as Storm Bringer. He appears as a being with black bat wings, with a flaming torch and a bloody axe.
Shin Megami Tensei V	The fallen angel of Israel and the demon of vengeance. His name means "ferocious lion," and he is said to aid in the vengeance of those who seek his service. During his time as an angel of God, he was recognized as the guardian angel of the saint Enoch. It is said that his name originally belonged to one in either the Book of Genesis, or the Book of Daniel, only to become associated with the demon thereafter.
