{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|There is a place where the sins of many people from many different worlds are cast off into and discarded to. Mephistopheles is one of the few Transients who can say that they indeed originate from the world of Gehenna. He is a demon who was supposed to exist purely as a shadow. His appearance may resemble someone else's, but it is nothing more than a mirror image of someone unrelated. Here in Tokyo Mephistopheles is a manager of the shadow cabinet and backbone of the administration function. However, he imposes himself the part of a representative to the end, and he hardly makes any appearances on the center stage. He likes nothing more than to slowly corrupt humans he has contracted to as a faithful slave. The contractual phrase "let there be light" become absolute shackles for him. He loves light reflecting mirrors and is a demon who can appear through mirrors. Mephistopheles considers himself a butler and mirror that reflects just how far his master has fallen. But at the same time, he seems to get on badly with butlers who seek autonomy and superiority. He seems childishly amused at those who seem like they'd become corrupted quickly but stop short and resist it.}} | |||

{{#vardefine:transient en title|A Contract for Your Soul}} | |||
{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Mephistopheles, he who does not love light, possesses two Sacred Artifacts. One is a light reflecting mirror while the other is a contract form that can bind minds with words. The mind is information, and information is light. There are two people who Mephistopheles once served and looked up to. One is the ruler who sat atop the hierarchy in the world of Gehenna and whose position is being represented by him. The other master is a certain human who once summoned him. He craves to cast down this one person who managed to escape the depravity of Gehenna. The vestiges of these two people are both in Tokyo, but Tokyo's System allows for only one summoner per Transient. It is due to this unique point that Mephistopheles was made to exist as two people in Tokyo. Due to this, it is possible for him to make new bonds with the demons he once knew from Gehenna.}} | |||

* Mephistopheles' base HP in his higher rarity card is 666, the infamous [[Wikipedia:Number_of_the_beast|Number of the Beast]], traditionally associated with the devil. | |||
* His charge skill "Verweile Doch" is taken from [[Wikipedia:Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe|Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]]'s play [[Wikipedia:Goethe%27s_Faust|Faust]] as a retelling of the legend of the same name, said by the demon Mephistopheles. Faust and Mephistopheles' deal was set that during the time the devil was to serve Faust, if Faust were to be so pleased with whatever the devil gave him and would want to stay in that moment forever, he would die that very moment. The full quote is "Verweile doch, du bist so schön", translated to "Stay a while, you are so beautiful". | |||
* His mirror Sacred Artifact is a reference to the enchanted kitchen mirror in the original story of Faust, which showed the titular doctor's subconscious desires. | |||
