==Summary==
Ideo Hazama is the main antagonist of Shin Megami Tensei If... and the primary figure pulling the strings behind the scenes throughout the game's events. Having had his mind twisted by a lifetime of abandonment and neglect from his parental figures, as well as constant abuse from his classmates, Hazama decided to put the "Demon Summoning Program" which he received one day from a mysterious figure into practice, and, when perfoming an occult ceremony to summon a demon that could enact his revenge on the school, opened a direct gateway into the Demon World. The very next day, the whole of Karukozaka High School had been dragged into the border of that other dimension, and Hazama, now fundamentally changed and proclaiming himself to be omnipotent ruler of all demonkind, began to deliver his own twisted punishment on all those he perceived as having wronged him.

Gained full control over the form and state of the Expanse, the highest level of which is where the archetypes of all gods and demons reside, having overwritten the Tree of Life entirely and replaced it with domains of his own design), Information Manipulation, Soul Manipulation and Mind Manipulation (Imbued himself with the wellspring of all mind and matter, the former of which is synonimous with both the soul and the information underlying one's being, and claims to have full control over the relationship between the two.

Attack Potency: Outerverse level (Defeated Ahriman at the end of his journey through the Demon World, and went on to slay Zurvan, the Supreme God of Zoroastrianism who was responsible for the creation of both Angra Mainyu and Ahura Mazda) | Outerverse level (Vastly more powerful than before, having taken Zurvan's place as the absolute ruler of the Expanse and obtained dominion over the Infinite Tower that lies at its center, which is described as the birthplace of the souls of all things in existence, be them humane or demonic, and the place where both matter and mind intermingle, as a result ascending to become "something beyond all that is material and mental." Completely reshaped the Expanse, changing its structure into one modelled after the Seven Deadly Sins rather than the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, and with his death immediately undoing all of these alterations. Stated to be potentially capable of taking the place of The Almighty, with the only factor holding him back from doing so being the last remnants of his own humanity)

Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Buffs and Debuffs: A set of skills that, as the name implies, allows the caster to greatly amplify their own physical attributes and reduce that of their foes, thus allowing one to stand up to much stronger opponents by closing or even reversing the gap in power between them. Outside of gameplay limitations, they can be stacked indefinitely, and sufficient usages of buffs allow the caster to survive attacks that would otherwise obliterate them with only minor injuries and amplify their speed to the point of completely outspeeding opponents that could previously predict all of their movements, while debuffs have a directly proportional effect on the enemy's statistics.
* Debilitate: Decreases all statistics of an entire party (Strength, speed and durability) by one rank.
Almighty Attacks: The highest class of spells in the Megami Tensei franchise, consisting largely of powerful non-elemental attacks that have the special property of completely bypassing any resistances or immunities that a target may possess, be them innate or magically enforced, the latter of which including anything from reflective barriers to items that distort the very laws of the universe in order to protect the user from all forms of damage, and they are likewise unable to blocked, drained or generally defended against.
* Megidolaon: Unleashes a wave of destructive energy which deals heavy damage to all foes, tapping into the pale light of divinity that reigns over destruction itself and engulfing them in "the complete annihilation beyond death."
* Sol Smasher: Deals heavy damage to all foes in range.
