Mephistopheles

Appearance

Mephistopheles has deep magenta hair that is parted on the left side, and black eyebrows. Unlike most other characters, Mephistopheles's eyebrows do not match his hair color. As shown in the card art for Bragging Rights and Demon King Who?, as well as in his sprite, the hair on the back of Mephistopheles's head is black. It is currently unknown if this is his natural coloring or if he dyes his hair. He and Thirteen are the only two characters whose eyebrow color do not match the hair color on the top of their head. 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.

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.

personality

Mephistopheles is a very dutiful and dedicated demon, and takes any tasks that he's given very seriously. When working as a journalist for the RAD Newspaper, he 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 attempted to follow both Lucifer and Raphael respectively. However, as Raphael commented, Mephistopheles doesn't seem to have much talent for being subtle, and both Raphael and Lucifer knew right away they were being followed. Subtle or not, Mephistopheles does have a talent for finding out information. One example of this is in Lesson 33-6 (NB), when he knew that Lucifer would be giving a speech during RAD's founding ceremony even before Lucifer himself knew. When questioned, Mephistopheles replied that Lucifer should "never underestimate his network of informants." 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 would never fabricate information in the articles he writes, and always strives to publish the truth, even when that means portraying Lucifer in a positive light.
