Shin Megami Tensei II

Atavaka is found in Fort Gevurah, where he and the twelve generals have taken hold, preventing passage to other parts of the Makai, guarding the Atziluth Corridor under the orders of Lucifer. When Aleph defeats him on the Law and Neutral routes, he is incredulous that he could be defeated by a mere human and his demons and perishes praising Lucifer's name. On the Chaos routes, he allows Aleph to go through amicably after testing his strength.
