Mephisto Pheles runs True Cross Academy as its Chairman, and he's also a certified Exorcist. He's best known for recruiting Rin into the academy after Rin proposed becoming an Exorcist rather than, well, being killed—which was technically the original plan following Fujimoto's death. There's strong evidence that he and his brother Amaimon (the Earth King) are both Satan's sons, though he keeps quiet about it. His power level is surprisingly vague despite his high rank. He holds the position of Honorary Knight, which sits two tiers below Paladin. Weirdly enough, he can transform into a small dog by counting to three in German—fans often note this absurd ability kind of sums up his character. He's also been caught red-handed letting several high-class demons onto campus, which raises questions about what he's actually up to. The name's obviously a play on Mephistopheles, the famous devil from folklore. Like father, like son, apparently.
