*Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2: Major Antagonists
==Profile==
The Acolytes and the Liberators are in conflict with each other because of their different philosophies, set in motion by the demons who guided their organizations from the shadows in their human guises Einherjar and Jabo Kakuryu. Under the guidance of Joshua Hawke, the organization begins spreading malice as part of their goal to use Vanitas to domesticate the human race and end the damage mankind inflicted upon Mother Earth.
The organization would suffer dramatically following Joshua’s death after his transformation into a monster of malice, for he was the main pillar of guidance due to the corruption found amongst the other leaders of the organization. During a meeting between said leaders, the Brotherhood of Harmony leads an attack to eliminate those leaders and attack the Acolytes bases of operation worldwide, crippling the organization further. Despite believing they had eliminated the organization, the Acolytes remnants continued to operate under the guidance of the Vanitas fanatic Organ and to the organizations founder Jabo, both attempting to awaken and unleash it upon humanity before the malice it consumed reached the point of no return and ensures humanities extinction.
The organization collapses following their last battle with the Elements, Brotherhood, and Neo-Liberators, as the remnants believed Jabo dies in battle against the protagonist, not knowing that Jabo was the one who informed their enemies of said plans and working with the Protagonist future self to keep up the ruse.
