{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|They possess a golden snake Sacred Artifact said to see the past and future with complete clarity. Anyone whose body is injected with its poison will have the concealed "memories" of their lives prosecuted and exposed. There are those from the same world as Astaroth who call the true form of those memories the sins of a past life or the sins to be committed in the next. No one knows if this is actually true however. Furthermore, this power can also extend to memories from worlds beyond the 23 connected to Tokyo. That is because the power of fate that seeks out and tries to understand one another can surpass even the walls that divide the worlds. It is said that when Astaroth is bitten themselves, a lady with hair colored like the sky appears. Fundamentally speaking, Tokyo treats Shadows and the "original people they were cast off from" as separate entities with different feelings. Astaroth however would like to make known that this doesn't apply in this case, because as mentioned above they are connected to their past life or next life or the like.}}

* Astaroth is a demon in the Ars Goetia of the [[Wikipedia:The_Lesser_Key_of_Solomon|Lesser Key of Solomon]]. They are titled as a Duke of Hell and commands forty legions.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Astaroth|Wikipedia page of Astaroth]]</ref><ref>[http://www.esotericarchives.com/solomon/goetia.htm#astaroth Esoteric Archives of The Lesser Key of Solomon; The Arte of Goetia, Astaroth]</ref>
** They have mentioned that they are ranked 29th, which is Astaroth's placement in the Ars Goetia.
*** Astaroth in-game is mostly based on the demon of the same name found in the Ars Goetia, though it should be noted that Astaroth is part of the [[Wikipedia:Grand_Grimoire|Grand Grimoire]] where they, along with Beelzebub and Lucifer, which is the Exiled soul from [[Eden]], as the three main powers of hell.
** Astaroth is described as a foul angel with a viper on their right hand whilst riding upon on an infernal dragon.
*** This is reflected on Astaroth's [[role]] being ''Dragon'' (Serpent) while their [[Sacred Artifact]] is a golden snake with the [[rule]] of ''Persecution''.
** Their rule to be able to expose the memories of someone's past, present, and future is taken from their ability in the Ars Goetia wherein Astaroth can give true answers to questions relating to the past, present, and future as well as discovering all secrets.
[[File:AstarothSeal.jpg|200px|right|Astaroth's Seal]]
* Astaroth's charge skill "Criminatores Diabolus" references the '''Diabolos''' which was equivalent to Astaroth who was the leader of a group of archdemons that called themselves the '''Criminatores''', also known as the ''Accusers'' or the ''Slanderers''.
* The lady with hair like the sky Astaroth's research file mentions is Astarte as elucidated more in [[Event_Quest:Raiders_of_the_Lost_Isle_2:_The_Promised_Undersea_City|The Promised Undersea City]].
** Astaroth's origins in actual mythos were derived from the [[Wikipedia:Phoenicia|Phoenician]] goddess of love and war [[Wikipedia:Astarte|Astarte]] where the Hebrew Bible refers to her statues as Ashtoreth (singular) or Ashtaroth (multiple statues).
* Astarte's voice lines mention tearing people to pieces. This may allude to her associations with the Semetic goddess [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anat Anat], who had done similar actions to another deity named Mot.
