Gimel is the administrator of the Arcadia district of [[Tokyo | Gimel is the administrator of the Arcadia district of [[Tokyo Millennium]]. He is described as exceptionally intelligent. The residents of Arcadia refer to him as "Lord Gimel", and view him as their [[Messiah (Concept)|Messiah]], owing the peace and happiness they experience in the district to him. | ||
He is a very ethereal-looking man, dressed in all-white clothes and a choker, with his sleeves having tiered ruffles and an open dress shirt that shows off his well-defined chest and abdomen. He has gold chains that act as a belt and atop his long and black hair rests a laurel wreath. His footwear consists of just brown sandals, and he is always seen holding a golden lyre. His design for the Playstation release of ''Shin Megami Tensei II'' is slightly different, as his hair is longer, the golden lyre has a different design, it lacks the golden chains, and his sleeves are tiered puffs instead of ruffles. The clothing is more reminiscent of a low-cut bell-bottom pantsuit. | He is a very ethereal-looking man, dressed in all-white clothes and a choker, with his sleeves having tiered ruffles and an open dress shirt that shows off his well-defined chest and abdomen.

At the beginning of the game in [[Valhalla (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Valhalla]], during [[Hawk]]'s second run through the [[Virtual Battler]] of [[Haneda]]'s gym, he has a flashback involving an unknown [[Mekata|man]] asking him to name someone.

Gimel's first in-person appearance is in Arcadia, after [[Zayin]] recommends that Aleph visit him. There, wealthy citizens hand-picked by the [[Center]] live lives of luxury, free from pain and strife.

When Aleph gains access to the [[Makai (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Makai]], a spatial distortion can be found southeast of the [[Yetzirah Corridor]] that sends the party to a mysterious facility. In it are multiple people with dilapidated appearances, tied to chairs and hooked up to small machines. In reality, these people are residents of Arcadia, and at the topmost floor, the real Gimel can be found, a featureless, cybernetic man hooked up to a giant machine, a stark contrast to the ethereal appearance his virtual avatar has. There he reveals the true nature of Arcadia: It is nothing more than a lie, a virtual simulation he administrates that merely emulates the appearance of a peaceful world. Gimel reasons that even if it is a lie, it is one that gives people the peace they so desire, and so declares that he cannot allow anyone who discovers the truth to live, attacking Aleph's party right after. | When Aleph gains access to the [[Makai (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Makai]], a spatial distortion can be found southeast of the [[Yetzirah Corridor]] in [[Tiferet Town|Ti'feret]] that sends the party to a mysterious facility.
