Game Appearances

Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon

In the Prologue, when Raidou is taking the Ritual of Battle, Tam Lin is sent to assist him as his ally, teaching him the basics of commanding and summoning demons. Before the final test of the ritual, Tam Lin will be amused if Raidou says that he would prefer female demons. When Jorougumo appears, Tam Lin is shocked and disgusted by her appearance, muttering that he was secretly hoping for something else. Once the final test is completed, Tam Lin leaves Raidou's party, as he was only sent to aid Raidou in the ritual. However, he says he would gladly sacrifice himself for Raidou and hopes they will meet again before he disappears.

If Raidou has Tam Lin summoned at the start of an encounter with a Pixie, a special conversation between him and the Pixie will occur, in which the Pixie will vaguely recall seeing him before. Tam Lin hints that it may have been in the fairy forest, jogging the Pixie's memory, who remembers him as the man who ate her kind, though she is confused about how he is alive when he was supposed to be sacrificed as the tithe to Hell. Tam Lin mentions that he had been saved by a princess, and asks how the fairies could choose him to pay their tithe. He insults them, claiming they are wicked despite their harmless appearances, angering Pixie, who refuses to speak to him any further, a sentiment Tam Lin gladly agrees to, which ends the conversation.
