Sadao Maō

King Satan Jacob, also known as Sadao Maou, is the titular main protagonist of the 2011-2020 fantasy comedy light novel series (as well as its 2012 manga & 2013 anime television series adaptations of the same name).
He was a demon lord from Ente Isla who ends up in Tokyo, Japan on Earth, and became a part-time employee, later a shift manager, at MgRonald's. He tries to make a living while trying to find a way back to Enta Isla. While his role was usually that of a villain during his time in Ente Isla, he has steadily progressed into heroism since living on Earth. This is shown in such acts as saving people from being killed by an earthquake, protecting the city from either demons or renegade angels, as well as trying to save Chiho and Emi.
He is voiced by Ryōta Ōsaka in the Japanese version of the anime and by Jessie James Grelle in the English dub. He also voiced Byakuya Togami, Akihisa Yoshii and Armin Arlert.
==Overview==
Maou is the former Devil King. After being defeated in Ente Isla, he withdrew with his remaining general, Alciel, to a new world where he would recuperate and regroup. Unfortunately, this new world does not possess magic, reducing him to a mere employee at MgRonalds, slowly morphing into a rather nice (if snarky) person.
==Personality==
Maou, being the Demon Lord of Ente Isla, has shown immense cruelty through his slaughter of many innocent humans, although later on, he does admit that he didn't quite understand what they were at that time.
In the human world, Maou is shown to be very empathetic, especially to his co-worker Chiho and even to the Hero, Emilia. He is also surprisingly cordial and forgiving, as shown when he puts others first before himself. This may be his true personality, simply brought out by his change in environment.
==Appearance==
His initial appearance was a very tall, dark-haired demon lord with a cape to match his position. He seems to have had long, unkempt nails and hair. 
Upon his transition to Earth, he lost most of his demonic traits. His eyes are a warm red-orange, and his hair retains its color.
==Powers and Abilities==
As the demon overlord in Enta Isla, he possessed great demonic power, and this has been shown throughout the series though as he arrived at Earth, his power there is limited and can only be replenished via fear.
His demonic energy and magic is extremely strong, and most likely has a colour unique to its user. For Sadao, that color is black. Demonic energy is consumed by using the abilities listed below. However, replenishment of such energy requires feeding off of negative emotions given off by other sentient beings. Fear, despair and pain, and other negative emotions are the driving forces behind the replenishment.
===Intelligence===
Sadao is surprisingly intelligent, witty, and crafty. He is able to piece events together and form a logical conclusion with relative ease while everyone else is merely astounded and not even trying.
===Enhanced Strength===
When transformed he gains enhanced strength to be able to lift falling debris times twice his size. It has not been shown in the series yet how powerful he is.
===Enhanced Speed===
During the battle against Lucifer, Sadao was able to increase his speed so much that Lucifer wasn't able to react to it.
===Endurance===
Despite his small human body, being blasted by Lucifer's magic and shot by Olba's gun he was able to move on and survive.
==Trivia==
*On Earth he owns a bike he named "Dullahan". Its name came from the Irish myth about a headless rider with a black horse who carries his/her head under one arm.
*Satan is primarily understood as an "accuser" or "adversary" in the Hebrew Bible, and is not necessarily the personification of evil that he would become in later Abrahamic.
*Though his character personificates Satan he more likely represents as Baphomet notable with the goat-like feet and horns.
