"The impeccable butler who follows Diavolo around as if he were his shadow. His ability is to see both the past and the future."
— Barbatos's Student ID

Barbatos is a demon whose first appearance in Obey Me!'s Main Story was in Lesson 2-13. He serves as a butler to Diavolo — a job he takes very seriously — and is completely loyal to him. While he is considered a side character in Obey Me!, Barbatos was added to the game's Intimacy system in December of 2020 as part of the Happy Devil Day celebration.

Appearance[edit source]

Barbatos has short, kombu green hair styled such that he has a longer fringe on his left side which fades into a turquoise color at the tips, and bangs that reach his eyebrows. He has pale skin, and his eyes are a gradient of dark forest green and yellow-green. He regularly wears a pair of white gloves, but when without them, it can be seen that his nails are painted royal purple.

As seen in the official height chart, Barbatos is the third-tallest of the side characters, just barely taller than Simeon.

Demon Look

Barbatos's demon look was first revealed in Lesson 14-10 of the Main Story. In this form, Barbatos has a pair of small, black horns that look similar to the "fingers" of bat-like wings. Each horn has four "fingers" and one shorter "thumb" ending in a small spike.

Barbatos also has a long, twin-tipped tail with a gradient of black at the base and aquamarine green at each of the tail ends. There is also a lightning pattern of aquamarine green that runs along the length of his tail. According to Issue 5 of the RAD Newspaper, Barbatos's tail is "wet and glistening, but not slimy."

As with Satan, Barbatos has no visible markings in his demon form.

Barbatos's outfit when in demon form consists of a black tailcoat with gold buttons and a high collar with a decorative gold chain. It has a geometric pattern of black and grey triangles on the front with a white border, and many of the coat's edges are bordered in white. There is also a white pattern on the back of the coat vaguely shaped like an hourglass. The coat has an aquamarine green underside, and both the sleeves and right shoulder have decorative ruffles colored a gradient of teal green and black. Barbatos's pants are charcoal grey with black stripes along the sides, and he wears black boots with short, flat heels. He also wears a pair of white gloves.

Barbatos's Demon Look is an available outfit in Majolish, and can be purchased by using Raven in Akuzon.

Human World Look

Barbatos was first seen in his Human World look in Lesson 48-19 of the Main Story. The outfit is likely inspired by the changshan, and consists of an aquamarine green and deep teal green gradient top with a standing collar, and is long enough to nearly reach Barbatos's knees. The right shoulder of the top is white, and wrapping around the bottom-left side of the top is fabric with a geometric triangle pattern in shades of orange and brown. Worn over the top is a robe-like garment that is a gradient of charcoal grey at the top and aquamarine green at the bottom. The lining is also aquamarine green, and there are decorative aqua blue accents on each of the wide sleeves with dangling earth tone colored beads attached.

His pants also have gradient colors, being charcoal grey at the waist and jade grey at the ankles, and have decorative carmine red laces along the outseams on his lower legs. His shoes are dark grey with aqua blue soles. Barbatos wears two necklaces; one fully beaded, and the other having a circular white pendant danging from a jade green cord. There is also what appears to be a yellow and black Chinese knot hanging from the lower left side of Barbatos's top, though it is mostly hidden by the outer robe.

Barbatos's Human World Look is an available outfit in Majolish, and can be obtained by unlocking the Devil's Tree "Clothing" space in the Demon Card A Butler's Day Off.

Personality[edit source]

Barbatos has a very calm demeanor, although he does enjoy lightly teasing other people. He is nice towards MC and often saves leftover sweets he bakes for them. He takes his position as a butler very seriously, and even teaches the demon brothers intricacies about his job in the Demon de Butler event. The demon brothers believe that Barbatos could do anything, thus resulting in them frequently seeking out his help.

While typically exuding a calm demeanor, Barbatos seems impartial to being interrupted when speaking about something he is passionate about, even going so far as to throw a fork at Mammon's head for speaking over him. According to Little D. No. 2, Barbatos's smile remains in place even when he is angry. Some of the demon brothers think that Barbatos is shady and scary. Mammon in particular is convinced that Barbatos has a hidden room in the Demon Lord's Castle where he partakes in the act of torturing people, as he brings up in Lesson 6-19.

Barbatos has many talents, but he's best known for his cooking skills. According to Luke, Barbatos is the greatest pastry chef in all of the three worlds. As in all things, Barbatos takes cooking very seriously and will go to greater lengths than most to achieve perfection. This is evident when he mentions to MC in his Devilgram The Secret Dish that he visits the local port market three times a day to purchase ingredients.

Barbatos also has a talent for dancing, which includes dancing to club music. This surprised Asmodeus in Lesson 40-15, where he declared Barbatos an excellent dancer after having seen his moves at The Fall.

Despite appearing perfect at nearly everything, Barbatos has a great deal of difficulty as an actor in the Devilgram Just Be Yourself!, as he has never acted before.

In one of his dialogues when given Revelation Tomatoes, Barbatos mentions occasionally supervising fan club meetings for the student council members. Asmodeus confirms this when also given Revelation Tomatoes, saying that Barbatos showed up to one of his fan club's meetups.

Lucifer describes him as a demon of elite status.

In the chat Wakeup Shakeup 1, Diavolo explains that it is difficult to pull pranks on Barbatos because he always wakes up before anyone else does.

Powers and Abilities[edit source]

Note: this section may include spoilers.

In Lesson 15-17, Barbatos explains to MC that he has the ability to see into the past and the future, and can send people to either one using the countless doors in his room. When either he or another visits the past, they cannot reveal that they are from the future, as doing so could warp history. This is also why it's important to avoid meeting one's past self. Diavolo forbids Barbatos from using his powers freely, and in Lesson 34-B, Barbatos tells Lucifer that he only uses his ability to see the future when Diavolo specifically asks him to.

In Lesson 16-19, Barbatos also explains that he can choose from any number of potential realities and make his choice the sole reality. This is the reason why there were briefly two MC's in the same timeline, and why the timeline where Belphegor nearly killed MC ceased to exist.


Story[edit source]

Background[edit source]

Note: this section may include spoilers.

Barbatos mentions in the chat That's What I Mean that he was never a child. He has the power to see the past and the future, and is able to choose from multiple realities whichever one he prefers to become the sole reality. He can accomplish these feats by opening doorways to any time and place, including the Human World and the Celestial Realm. Lord Diavolo expressly forbids him from using his power freely.

He admits to MC in The Legendary Dame Devilgram that he was once a Dame at Queen Rose's banquet. He was considered so beautiful that it caused an uproar, and piles of fan mail was delivered daily to the Demon Lord's Castle. From then onward, he swore to never be a Dame again.

Main Story[edit source]

Lessons 1-20[edit source]

In Lesson 2-A, it is revealed that Barbatos is in a pact with Solomon. In Lessons 49-A, Barbatos admits to making his pact with Solomon before the sorcerer had his pact with Asmodeus. Through the use of his powers, he also knew that Solomon would form a pact with Asmodeus before it actually happened. He's the only demon currently known to have pacts with other humans, but not with MC.

Lessons 21-40[edit source]

Lessons 41-60[edit source]

In Lesson 53, Solomon reveals that he possesses Barbatos's grimoire, which Barbatos says he trusted Solomon with of his own free will. In Lessons 54, whether Barbatos actually gave Solomon his grimoire or not is put into question when he admits the grimoire given to MC was a fake.

Main Character[edit source]

Lucifer[edit source]

It seems Barbatos and Lucifer have mutual respect for one another, although Barbatos occasionally jokes about Lucifer. In some instances, he is shown being concerned over Lucifer's well-being. When Diavolo requested that Lucifer doesn't work himself too hard, Barbatos agrees with Diavolo's statement and presents an image MC took of Lucifer, overworked, to help Diavolo persuade Lucifer to get some sleep.

Diavolo[edit source]

Barbatos is very loyal to Diavolo and wishes to serve him well. Diavolo has complained that sometimes Barbatos is too harsh on him, but the demon brothers describe him as overprotective of Diavolo.

He also shows extreme patience for Diavolo, as evidenced in The Fantastic Three(3) chatroom interactions. He is usually calm and collected and agrees with almost everything Diavolo says.

In the chat Cleaning 2, Barbatos objects to Diavolo's idea of getting a cleaning robot for the Demon Lord's Castle, explaining that looking after Diavolo himself brings him joy.

Barbatos will, at times, inconvenience himself so that Diavolo is happy. For example, in the chat High in Demand, Barbatos explains that he would prefer to decline an invitation to appear on a quiz show in order to focus on his duties. However, he considers accepting the invitation just to see the look of delight on Diavolo's face.

Luke[edit source]

Barbatos is friendly towards Luke, teaching him how to make pastries as seen in chats, and they often bake treats together. On many occasions, Barbatos gives Luke advice for cooking, such as recommending him better baking powder brands.
