"Mephistopheles used to be the leader of the RAD Newspaper Club, but got demoted by Lucifer after creating the Prince Lucifer and Princess Diavolo stickers. He doesn't like how Diavolo gets chummy with ex-angel Lucifer."— Mephistopheles's Introduction video
Mephistopheles is a demon whose first appearance in Obey Me!'s Main Story was in Lesson 63-1, though he was mentioned much earlier in the Daily Chat titled The Popularity Contest. He is a dedicated member of the RAD Newspaper Club, despite no longer being its leader. He is considered a side character in Obey Me!, meaning that he is not currently included in the game's Intimacy system.
Appearance[edit source]
Mephistopheles has deep magenta hair that is parted on the left side, and black eyebrows. He has tawny brown skin, and his eyes are a gradient of pear green and chartreuse. He's almost always seen wearing a pair of white gloves. When without them — as in the card art for The Dancing Creature — it can be seen that his nails are painted a similar magenta color to his hair.
RAD Uniform
Mephistopheles's RAD Uniform is the typical charcoal grey jacket with gold accents, but tailored slightly different such that it does not fully wrap around his hips. He still wears the matching charcoal-colored pants with red stripes along the sides, but instead of a single red-bordered belt, he has one such belt around his waist, and another looped at a diagonal angle holding a black cane with a decorative silver handle on his right side. Both belts also have silver buckles instead of the standard gold.
He wears the standard teal shirt beneath his jacket paired with a black and gold patterned ascot tie and a decorative pacific blue and gold tie pin. Similar to Satan's uniform, Mephistopheles's shoulder cape — while being the typical red — is much longer than standard, reaching at least to his waist. He also wears a pair of white gloves.Mephistopheles's RAD Uniform is the typical charcoal grey jacket with gold accents, but tailored slightly different such that it does not fully wrap around his hips.

Mephistopheles takes his job as a journalist for the RAD Newspaper very seriously, and is often either researching for a new article, or attempting to find the next big scoop, which tends to involve following people around. In the Devilgrams for both A Fly-by Scoop! and Let's Take Photos!, Mephistopheles attempts to follow both Lucifer and Raphael respectively, but as Raphael comments, Mephistopheles doesn't seem to have much talent for being subtle, and both he and Lucifer knew right away they were being followed.
Despite his talents for journalistic research and dedication to the job when working on an article, Mephistopheles told MC in the Devilgram Lead On, Mephisto! that he isn't actually interested in a future in professional journalism.
Mephistopheles has a strong sense of integrity, as demonstrated in the chat Lucifer's Paparazzi. However much he dislikes Lucifer, he refuses to fabricate information in the articles he writes, and always strives to publish the truth, even when that means portraying Lucifer in a positive light.

Story[edit source]
Background[edit source]
According to Diavolo in an official tweet, Mephistopheles "has a younger brother and really dotes on him!" This is also shown in the Devilgram for Bragging Rights in a conversation with Diavolo and Lucifer.
In Lesson 70-16 Hard, Mephistopheles was picked up in a very high-end car, and the driver of which referred to him as "young master." Belphegor and Luke mentioned hearing rumors that Mephistopheles was even richer than Lord Diavolo. Lending credence to these rumors, Mephistopheles had earlier commented how little the cost of a burger at Hell's Burger was, and seemed perplexed at how such restaurants were able to make any money. He had also never eaten a hamburger before Belphegor and Luke had invited him to Hell's Burger.
Main Story[edit source]
Lessons 1-20[edit source]
In the very first RAD Newspaper Club chat titled The Popularity Contest, Mephistopheles placed tenth in the unofficial voting results. However, he and Mammon were later disqualified due to falsified ballots.
He assisted Mammon, Satan, and Asmodeus in creating the chat stickers "Prince Lucifer" and "Princess Diavolo", as his character introduction video mentioned. This led to Mephistopheles stepping down as head of the RAD Newspaper Club, despite the chat The Errant Posts (Follow-Up) stating that his demotion was unrelated.
Lessons 21-40[edit source]
In Lesson 24-C, after Leviathan's 3D escape room game caused all the doors in RAD to lead to random rooms, Lucifer complained that he encountered Mephistopheles in the RAD Newspaper Club's room five different times. Each time, he was "forced into a conversation" with him where he had to hear him "complain endlessly."
Lessons 61-80[edit source]
Mephistopheles made his first proper appearance in Lesson 63-1, when MC picked up some of his papers about the new exchange students Raphael and Thirteen that the wind had scattered. He chastised MC for reading someone else's documents, and wondered aloud how Diavolo could "choose a human like this." He then took his papers and left.
Shortly afterward, in Lesson 63-16 Hard, Mephistopheles literally bumped into Lucifer, pointed out that Lucifer dropped his pen, and then left. When Lucifer attempted to sign some documents for the student council later, he discovered the pen had been cursed to make his writing illegible. A post in the wrong chat room by Satan revealed that he, Belphegor, and Mephistopheles had collaborated in giving Lucifer the cursed pen.
Relationships[edit source]
Main Character[edit source]

Lucifer[edit source]
Mephistopheles has an antagonistic relationship with Lucifer. While not an official member of the "Anti-Lucifer League," he sometimes helps Satan and Belphegor pull off pranks to annoy Lucifer. One example of this is in Lesson 63-16 Hard, when he switched out Lucifer's pen to another pen that had been cursed to make his writing illegible.

Luke[edit source]
In Lesson 77-A, after MC finds a sleeping Luke in the newspaper club office, Mephistopheles tells them that Luke sometimes comes by and gives him sweet treats, then stays to visit for awhile. Despite claiming that he'd "never consort with an angel", it seems Mephistopheles is fine with letting Luke hang around whenever he wants. He also comments that - angel or not - there's "something soothing about a sleeping child's face," and is careful to make sure nothing wakes Luke up from his nap.
