### Type of Character

Devilish Deal Maker and Liar

Who looks like a demon and meddles in humanoid affairs? Who makes tricky deals, abusing loopholes to get mortals to do what he wants them to with no consequences? Throw in ruling over a dimension where damned souls go for good measure. Call it Hell, while you’re at it, and you have… Mephistopheles, who is supposedly not the Biblical Lucifer of Nexus Prime itself.

Indeed, Mephistopheles has allowed people to believe him to be Lucifer himself, however he is only a false Devil. Underworld is inhabited by the *Evil Trinity*, and some lesser demons who serve him, and by the astral forms of certain deceased humanoid beings, which have been trapped in the bodies of demons. These demonic bodies imprisoning human spirits have been magically altered to resemble the deceased's mortal humanoid forms. Unfortunately for him, he is a treacherous among the Devils of the planet Nexus Prime; Making him a so called "Devil" of his very own right, not a part of the Bible's *Evil Trinity*.

## Personality

Mephistopheles is extremely sadistic, arrogant and egotistical. Even if he isn't a true Devil such as Lucifer, he perceives himself as the true lord of Hell, keeping his self esteem at an immensely high rate due to the fact that he creates deals with mortals to get favours that even benefits himself when doing so. He notably enjoys the pleasure of manipulating, torturing mortals in any situation, making him comparable to the infamous Samael.

## Abilities

> "Mephistopheles is a Lucifer impersonator. Make no mistake, no one can withstand his mind games and dirty tricks up his sleeve."

* **Devil Physiology**: Mephistopheles was one of the most powerful beings in the cosmos, surpassed only by Lucifer Servius, Samael and Astaroth.

* + **Superhuman Strength**: Mephisto is extremely strong. His monstrous physical strength allows him to easily destroy any opponent with his bare hands, rip a man in half, crush someone's head with a single hand, possibly tear apart an *armored knight* in half, throw a **forty five ton** boulder at fifty yards with both arms, indicating he can lift 45 tons max. Only capable of lifting at a monstrous sixty tons when in full power. His strength is underwhelming compared to Lucifer.

* + **Extreme Superhuman Durability**: Mephisto is tough and resilient; However, he is ridiculously feeble and weak compared to all of the *Evil Trinity*.

* + **Nigh-immortality**: He was effectively ageless, living as long as he needed in order to bend the will and torture mortals.

* + **Gifted Intellect**: Mephistopheles's greatest strength is being extremely smart and quick thinking. His intelligence is extremely powerful, combined with his monstrous physical strength and the power of manipulation.

* + **Superhuman Speed**: Mephisto is capable of moving at superhuman standards.

* **Ensnare Astral Bodies:** Mephisto also possesses certain powers enabling him to capture and detain the astral bodies (sheaths of the soul) of recently deceased human beings. Mephisto does not have jurisdiction over all the souls of nevanity's recently deceased. It is not yet known what the prerequisite conditions are for him to be able to manipulate a nevian soul, nor are the precise means by which he accomplishes the feat known. Apparently these conditions require that the human being in question willingly agree to submit to Mephisto's will. It is not known how an ordinary mortal being may free himself from bondage to Mephisto (although Wolf of Valenthia, Rachelle Palmer/Lasorelle, Craig Taggart, Kane and Scylla apparently did), nor whether Mephistopheles will forever retain control of the souls he has obtained. Nor is it known whether or not Mephisto "feeds" on the psychic energies of such souls as other demons do.

* **Mystical Deal:** Through a bargain, Mephisto is able to fulfill almost any wish that someone wants in exchange for something that they have - usually their souls. Once the agreement is sealed, it is virtually impossible for most victims to escape compliance. Mephisto can then use this deal to keep his victims always under his control, being able to even prevent them from remembering they made a deal with him, although the victims will still be able to recall vaguely that. It appears that only Mephisto himself can fully undo a deal with his victim, as it is unclear whether anyone can break free from his deal on their own.

* **Mystic Bet:** Mephistopheles can make a magical bet on the outcome of how an event will turn out. If he wins, Mephisto can demand what he wants from his victim, however, if the devil loses, he is obligated to give what the winner of the bet asks of him, even if it means undoing his deals; Kane easily undoed the deal considering he is not as powerful as Lucifer.

* **Dimensional Entrapment:** Apparently Mephistopheles can entrap a living humanoid being within his mind through sheer physical force, when the person did submit his or her will to him.

## Trivia

### General

* He is one of several such demons that feed off humanity's belief in The Devil so as to masquerade as Lucifer himself.
* When it comes to making shady deals and pulling the strings, he is superior in that aspect compared to the *Evil Trinity*.
* For some perceptive exorcists, they state he is in fact; A masquerading Lucifer Servius.
* He lives in the same realm and dimension, the Underworld, best known as Hell.
* He is neither a false devil or a super powered demon; As he strives to torture people rather than embody a purely evil incarnation.
