* BigGood: For the Mikado portion of the backstory, aiding Aquila to set up the region and sending Flynn in order to stop the demons Archangels in the Clipped Wings DLC.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Later portions of the game and the Clipped Wings DLC make it clear Mastema has separated himself from the Archangels and the other angels on their side, all of whom seek to kill everyone in Tokyo after establishing Mikado.
* DemotedToExtra: At first, Mastema has a seemingly reduced role compared to his previous appearance in ''Strange Journey''. Ultimately subverted by late game and the DLC; along with Masakado, Mastema is one of the Big Goods of the game's backstory.
* EnigmaticMinion: Mastema's goal and motives are far more vague than the other angels shown in the game. Not only does he mind very little when Flynn leans to Chaos path, Mastema is shown to believe the religious doubts caused by the events of the game will naturally lead people to seek God by their own volition, a very stark contrast to the genocidal intentions of the Four Archangels leading the Law forces. Further questions about his loyalties are raised in the Clipped Wings DLC, where he turns out to be responsible for sealing away three of the Four Archangels.

* HeelFaceTurn: Considering FantasticRacism: Calls the monster people of Tokyo "Unclean Ones" like the Angels and people of Mikado do. However, in the Clipped Wing DLC he was in ''Strange Journey'', calls them human, suggesting that his sudden change of heart attitude before is a big surprise.just an act to blend in with other angels.
* NecessarilyEvil: When encountered at present, it is shown Mastema helped make deals with Demons on the behalf of the Lawful Ashura-Kai for Red Pills, and protects Midtown from those who seek the pills. Unlike Tayama, who wants this condition — which he calls “Utopia” — to go on forever, Mastema is simply trying to keep order in Tokyo long enough for humanity to rise up and free themselves of the current situation of being trapped beneath the ceiling.

Added DiffLines:
* YouWillBeSpared: The Clipped Wings DLC reveal Mastema spared Gabriel before the events of the main game, as the other three Archangels are sealed nd a "rat can do nothing by itself". He was right until Lilith began spreading books, making it possible for Gabriel to send Samurai to rescue the other three.
