Shin Megami Tensei

Stephen sends out files of the Demon Summoning Program to as many computers as possible, and the plot is kicked off when the protagonist receives one on his computer. Upon meeting him in person for the first time, he explains that he created the Demon Summoning Program, but the technology moved to the wrong hands, and he sought to send it to as many people as possible in the hopes the power would be distributed more evenly if it were to be released at all.^{[citation needed]} Stephen aids the player and modifies his Demon Summoning Program to expand inventory multiple times.

Shin Megami Tensei II

Stephen is first encountered in a Virtual Battler in a gym in Valhalla. Sensing that a new conflict will arise and put the people of Tokyo Millenium at the mercy of demons, he infiltrated the virtual space to discreetly distribute the Demon Summoning Program to capable persons, giving Aleph the ability to summon and command demons through his COMP. Every few major progressions of the plot Aleph is meant to go to a Virtual Battler to recieve the latest upgrade to the program from him.

Stephen does not involve himself with the main story unless Aleph chooses the Neutral path, in which he is met in the Underground after the party kills Lucifer and is on their way to stop The Kuzuryu. He teleports them directly to the Kuzuryu, and after it is slain he then teleports them aboard the Megido Ark to stop Satan as well, waiting in the terminal room should the player want to save or perform fusion.

End of spoilers.
