Profile
Origin
Beelzebub (Hebrew: בַּעַל זְבוּב baʿal zăḇûḇ), also called Beelzebul (Greek: Βεελζεβοὺλ Beelzeboúl), is an Ekronite god according to the book of 2 Kings in the Bible. By the Second Temple period, Beelzebub/Beelzebul was considered the prince of demons by Jews, which is recorded in the Testament of Solomon and in the Synoptic Gospels. Opinions differ on which form of the name was the original; Beelzebub (meaning "lord of flies") may be a derogatory alteration of Beelzebul if the latter is interpreted as בַּעַל זְבֻל baʿal zăḇūl, meaning "lord of the high place," or Beelzebub may be the original form and Beelzebul is an alteration to resemble זֶבֶל zeḇel, meaning "dung."

The skull-and-crossbones on Beelzebub's wings in most of his appearances likely derives from Louis Le Breton's illustration of Beelzebub in Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal.

Kyūyaku Megami Tensei
Shin Megami Tensei
On B6F of the Basilica, Louis Cyphre tells the Hero of an island to the west which has something that would aid him. When the Hero enters the building on the island, he is greeted by Beelzebub, who will address him differently depending on his alignment. If the Hero is Chaos-aligned, Beelzebub will offer to join his party. If the Hero is on the Law or Neutral routes, Beelzebub will attack the party only to be defeated.
Shin Megami Tensei II
Beelzebub can be encountered in Keter Castle, where he will recognize Aleph as the human that Lucifer told him about. If Aleph is on the Neutral route, he is interested in testing Aleph's power and transforms into his fly form to attack him. After he is defeated, he says that although his wounds are mortal, the death of a demon is temporary, and he would gladly serve Aleph if he were to fuse him a new body.
If Aleph is on the Law route, Beelzebub is enraged with his goal of killing Lucifer and attacks him so that Lucifer will not be bothered by him, though when he is defeated he admits how much he underestimated him.
If Aleph is on the Chaos route, he will not fight Aleph and will simply offer his services through fusion.
