Line 13:

* [[Designer Babies]]: Not really a spoiler.....but the exact details of this are a severe [[Mind Screw]].

* [[Dreadful Musician]]: Aleph trying to sing will instantly drive demons into incoherent rage, many believing it being an attempt to kill them.

* [[Dude Where's My Respect]]: Averted hard. Being the Messiah tends to make many demons outright terrified to piss you off by the end of the game, and merely namedropping who you are can get them to join you, especially if they are Law aligned.

Line 75:

A devoted member of the Center and its rules, [[Defector From Decadence|he eventually decides that his masters are not what they seem and vows allegiance to the forces of Law themselves]]. And in the name of the people he fights against the Center, trying to recruit the hero to his side along the way.

{{spoiler|He turns out to be 1/2 of Satan. He [[Fusion Dance|merges with Set]] to become [[Satan]]. In the endings of the Neutral and Chaos alignment paths, Satan decides to use the Megiddo Arc (a [[Kill Sat|powerful laser weapon]] within Eden) to [[Kill Em All|destroy all life on the planet as his judgment]]. He is killed by Aleph before he can carry out his plans, and his death prompts the appearance of [[Final Boss|YHWH]]. In the [[Multiple Endings|Law alignment ending]], he carries out the plan successfully, but [[Even Evil Has Standards|accuses YHVH for committing the sin of genocide afterward]] [[Enemy Mine|and chose to align with Aleph]], however, he [[No Ontological Inertia|crumbles to dust after defeating his creator]].}}
