Sadao Maou

Sadao Maou, also known as Satan Jacob and Milord, is the main protagonist from The Devil is a Part-Timer! series.
==Charactah Account==
As his new name suggests, Sadao was 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.
Perhaps the most intelligent and charismatic of his kind, the Demon King came from humble origins as a member of a low-class goblin tribe, yet through tireless efforts and a drive to better his people, managed to gain support from others, eventually uniting the warring factions of the Demon World under his rule. Satan was well-known throughout the lands as the great overlord of his people, his name synonymous with the terror and cruelty his army brought to those unfortunate enough to fall victim. During the razing of Ente Isla, he allowed his minions the right to perform any heinous acts they deemed fit, showing immense cruelty through the slaughter of many innocent humans in his conquest. While his actions in life were for the betterment of demonkind, he had to conquer the human civilization to ensure the survival of the demon race. Later it is revealed that during the time of his invasion to Ente Isla, he decided rather than heading to battle, to instead research human society. He did this to gain information that could help him conquer Ente Isla, but also because he had a deep curiosity and respect for human society. During this time it is revealed that Satan actually did care for the humans he trampled during his invasion, but was forced to choose between humankind or the survival of the demon race, after which he ended up choosing the latter. Satan's true motivation was to create a situation in which he could force the human race into producing negative emotions toward demons, thus creating large amounts of demonic energy (which was starting to run out in the Demon Realm). He never intended to completely annihilate the human race, but to actually conquer it. He gave each of his generals free will on how to carry the conquest, but established that they must accept human's surrender.
Due to this, though in some cases the conquest was gruesome and full of bloodshed (like in Malacoda's case), in other cases was relatively moderate, without actually damaging anyone but soldiers who opposed the conquest (such as in Adramelech and Alciel's case). As the great ruler of demons, he was shown to be a proud and resolute individual, though his defeat at the hands of the Hero Emilia and the sudden loss of his magic abilities on Earth left him with no choice but to abandon that pride and live the life of an ordinary human.

==Trivia==
* Maou's human name is a pun on his real identity. "Maou" sounds like "Mao" which means "devil" or "demon lord" and "Sadao" means "decisive man" but it sounds like the start of words like "sadist" or "sadism".
* Maou has a tendency to name his vehicles "Dullahan". Two of his bikes are named Dullahan I and Dullahan II respectively, and his moped is named Dullahan III. Its name came from the Irish myth about a headless rider with a black horse who carries their head under one arm and from a Japanese proverb: to lose your neck, which means to get fired. It's Maou's reminder that he should never allow himself to get fired again, which happened when he recently arrived in Japan.
* 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 texts.
* Though his character personifies Satan, he more likely represents Baphomet due to the goat-like feet and horns when he transforms.
* Satan is merely a name that many other demons also possess, as Maou describes it as being "more common than the rocks" in the Demon Realm.
* His shoe size is 26.5 cm.
* Maou normally wears UNICLO clothing. UNICLO is a parody of the famous Japanese casual wear designer, manufacturer and retailer UNIQLO.
** Maou is often mocked by Emi for constantly wearing the brand. Even Ashiya has pointed out how he wears it too much.
