[[folder:Masked Circle]]
!!Tatsuya Sudou AKA King Leo/JOKER
[[quoteright:182:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2sudou_2299.jpg]]
Real name Tatsuya Sudou (not to be confused with Tatsuya Suou), King Leo is one of the "Masked Four", the executives of the Masked Circle, and TheDragon to Joker. Easily the most psychotic of the Joker's crew, Leo has a marked predilection for explosives and is a pyromaniac. In ''Eternal Punishment'', Sudou's father is revealed to be Japan's Foreign Minister and Baofu's archenemy, Tatsuzou Sudou. Despite his mania, Sudou is fiercely devoted to Joker.
* AbusiveParents
* AssassinOutclassin: Upon entering the hospital through the rear door, the team finds the place ransacked dead bodies of Taiwanese hitmen sent to kill Sudou, who in turn killed by the demons he summoned. In Room 303 of Morimoto (Sudou's room), pictures of all the victims of the JOKER killings are found, and later, Sudou he explains that he got his power via Kotodama (Spreading rumors), and that the "voices" (Nyarlathotep) tell him everything. Afterwards, the police torch the hospital to remove evidence of Minister Sudou's involvement in the botched hit.
* AxCrazy: No splitting hairs, here.
* BrownBagMask: Worn in ''Eternal Punishment'' as a crude substitute for Joker's mask.
* BusFullOfInnocents: Those schoolchildren picked a [[TimeBomb bad day for a tour]]....
* CardboardPrison: The sanitarium can't contain him, regardless of which universe he's in.
* CreepyChild: Even in flashbacks, he's still the same giggling, [[MadEye mad-eyed]] arsonist we know and love. [[spoiler:Granted, this was after those rumors...]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: In EP.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Sudou tumbles into the same flaming pit in both realities. The second time around, [[DeathByIrony Jun pitches him in]].
* TheDragon / DragonAscendant: To Joker.
* DuelBoss: In the first part of Tatsuya's scenario.
* FreudianExcuse: If you actually look into his backstory, you'd realize that he was originally just a nervous, twitchy kid in high school. He turned crazy because of all the rumors his classmates made about him, because he was a little "different." Try to hate him now, you bastards.
** In ''Eternal Punishment,'' though, it seems he's just genuinely crazy. [[spoiler: At Mt.Iwato, its revealed that Nyaralathotep managed to communicate with Sudou and tell him about the other side. Afterwards, the rest of it was all of This Side's Sudou just being crazy.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To the other Tatsuya; in Innocent Sin, his Persona is even a Reverse version of Suou's.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: His previous run-in with Tatsuya Suou cost him an eye.
* HearingVoices: "[[MadnessMantra VOICESVOICESVOICESVOICESVOICESVOICESVOICES]]! You can't ''run'' from the voices!"
* ILikeSwords
* InstitutionalApparel: When he breaks loose from the sanitarium, the first thing Sudou grabs is a trench coat (he leaves the hospital smock on underneath).
* LaserGuidedKarma: Sudou always ends up losing an eye, regardless of which timeline he's in. He's pretty pissed about it.
* LastVillainStand: The zeppelin battle.
* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: JOKER, in a hurry to make Maya remember the Other Side, tosses her a pair of handguns to defend herself.
* MadBomber
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: Either Sudou knows what's coming, or it's a lucky guess. Anyway, bravado or not, once he's dead, the NWO spreads a rumor causing anyone who called the JOKER to [[spoiler:become Jokers themselves]].
* NotQuiteDead: "My face! AGAIN!!"
* PlayingWithFire: Natch.
* PleaseKeepYourHatOn: A quarter of his face is burned off.
* PsychoSupporter: He is ''really'' devoted to Joker, to the point that shippers suspected some kind of tryst there. (There isn't.)
** Sudou's history following the burning of the Alaya Shrine is sketchy, but he couldn't have gotten out of the asylum without Joker's help. Jun also reminds him of Mr. Kashihara, the only person to think that Sudou wasn't crazy.
* PsychopathicManchild: Type B.
* PutTheLaughterInSlaughter
* PyroManiac
* RefugeInAudacity: Sudou [[StuffBlowingUp blows up]] the police station ''and'' the fire station, so nobody can act in response to his bombings.
* RightHandAttackDog: His {{Hellhound}}.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: See "Evil Counterpart".
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Tatsuya Sudou's old cell in the sanitarium. Judging by the wall graffiti, it looks like Nyarlathotep has been visiting him...
* ScarsAreForever: Disfigured from an encounter with Tatsuya Suou many years ago, during which young Tatsuya manifested his Persona (Vulcanus) and blinded him in one eye.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Tatsuya's father was in charge of investigating a serial arsonist, and came close to fingering Tatsuya Sudou as the culprit. Sudou's father is a prominent politician, so he arranged for Mr. Suou to be framed and [[TurnInYourBadge forced to resign]] from the police force in disgrace.
* SerialKiller
* TakingYouWithMe: After Maya flies the blimp off the museum, it's revealed in a cutscene that part of it was damaged by King Leo.
* TalkativeLoon
* TurnOutLikeHisFather: Both are one fry short of a happy meal, that's for certain.
* VillainousBreakdown
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Sudou began hearing voices (likely Nyaralathotep at a young age, and it likely exacerbated his psychopathy.
* WouldHurtAChild: Torching the Alaya Shrine was actually just because the voices told him. Normally, that'd be okay, because it's an accident, but even after finding out there were two children in the area, he was perfectly fine with almost killing them both. Planting bombs in a museum with children inside (twice), however, definitely qualifies.
* YouHaveFailedMe: After losing to Eikichi, Yasuo is sternly reprimanded by King Leo... who [[DisproportionateRetribution sets him on fire]].
* YouRemindMeOfX: He obviously sees a lot of [[spoiler:Akinari Kashihara in Jun]], and rewards Joker's kindness with dog-like devotion.
* WesternZodiac: Leo, same with Tatsuya Suou. Like all major members of the Masked Circle, His [[RedBaron title]] is based off his zodiac, and it's the same with Tatsuya Suou's, adding even more evidence he is Tatsuya Suou's EvilCounterpart.
!!Anna Yoshizaka AKA Lady Scorpio
->Voiced by: Creator/MonaMarshall (in English)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2_anna_4258.jpg]]
Anna Yoshizaka was once a track athlete at Seven Sisters High School. However, she was involved in a hit-and-run accident, which dashed her dreams of becoming a star athlete. She began skipping school, seeing no point in attending when she had nothing more to work towards. Somewhere around this time, she fell under the thrall of the Joker and became Lady Scorpio, one of the Masked Four. Like Prince Taurus, her role is targeting other young people at Kasugayama High School and the Zodiac Club. It isn't necessary to fight Lady Scorpio; she doesn't confront the party until Caracol, when the player's choices determine [[spoiler:whether she lives or dies]].
[[spoiler:If the player chooses to force Yukino Mayuzumi to accompany the party to Caracol, Yukino will be there to counteract her [[EvilTwin Shadow]], and Anna will ultimately assist Yukino in fighting the Last Battalion. If they leave Yukino behind, Anna will follow Shadow Yukino and the two will jump from a bridge, hand-in-hand, thus killing Anna]].
In ''Eternal Punishment'', Anna is falsely accused of performing the "JOKER curse" on the driver who hit her. When Principal Hanya is murdered in his office, Anna is the obvious suspect, as Maya overheard her mutter that she would kill Hanya after he denounced her in front of the entire school.
Later in the game, [[spoiler:her SempaiKohai, Noriko, is discovered to have used the JOKER curse twice (Noriko is the one who ordered the deaths of both Hanya and the man responsible for Anna's accident), and is kidnapped by the Taiwanese mafia for that very reason. Anna phones Maya and the party to help free the girl, giving them the tip-off about the mafia's location]].
* TheBaroness
* [[spoiler:BetterToDieThanBeKilled]]: One possible outcome of the Caracol arc.
* BlindingBangs: The malevolent "Lady Scorpio" personality has a shock of hair covering a vacant smile.
* BrokenBird
* TheBrute: She used to be a star athlete; this is no half-pint you're dealing with.
* ClearMyName: At the beginning of ''Eternal Punishment''. The driver who injured her has been murdered, followed by the principal. Even for those who haven't played ''Innocent Sin'', the evidence is definitely stacked against her.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness
* EmotionlessGirl: In point of fact, she only starts smiling if you choose the Bad storyline, and she succumbs to her evil.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: To the point of having her own {{Yandere}}. A male student at Sevens is infatuated with [[spoiler:Noriko]], but as his buddy points out, she only has eyes for Anna.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Only possible if you bring Yukino with you into Caracol]].
* ICouldaBeenAContender
* MakingASplash
* NotMeThisTime: Played with in ''Eternal Punishment''.
* RedHerring: See "Clear My Name".
* SchoolgirlLesbians: Implied with her {{Yandere}} admirer, [[spoiler:Noriko]].
** Anna/Yukino might also count, if you're a dedicated shipper.
* StartOfDarkness: When she was involved in an accident and began cutting school, her dreams ruined.
* TrueBlueFemininity
* WesternZodiac: Scorpio, same with Eikichi. Like all major member of the Masked Circle, her [[RedBaron title]] is based off her zodiac, and hints that she is supposed to be Eikichi's EvilCounterpart as they share the same zodiac.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: In the past, Tatsuya and Anna were often found loitering and cutting school together.
* WhipItGood
* YouBastard: Your party fights her if you leave Yukino at Caracol's summit, causing her hopelessness to give fuel to Shadow Yukino.
!!Ginji Sazaki AKA Prince Taurus
Ginji Sasaki is an ex-musician who used to perform for a one hit wonder band. Since then, he's irked out a living as a record producer, trying to recapture his former glory. Ginji has a reputation for making sexual advances toward his female artists, particularly adolescent girls. In desperation, Ginji performed the Joker Charm, hoping to be successful again. Joker granted his wish, and Ginji was made one of the Masked Four, placed in charge of stealing Ideal Energy from young people. He begins promoting a secretive [[FakeBand teen idol]] band known as "MUSES", and spreads a rumor that Lisa and her classmates are members. Late in the game, Prince Taurus follows the rest of the Masked Circle into Xibalba and is incinerated by a booby trap. His death is not shown on-screen, as Tatsuya's party discover his charred remains some time later.
In ''Eternal Punishment'', Ginji is manipulated into essentially the same role. He is brainwashed by the New World Order to host a seminar at the mall, where he encourages people to get rid of their "Kegare". In the ensuring shootout with Maya and her party, the glass container holding all the stores of Kegare is shattered, turning Ginji into a JOKER.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Ginji's based on Tetsuya Komuro, a Japanese music producer known for his taste in nubile pop stars. One of the artists managed by Komuro is hitomi, who sang the original ending theme for ''Innocent Sin''. Ooh, faced!
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: After being reduced to an NWO Mook.
* DirtyOldMan
* DishingOutDirt
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: Maya letting loose on his Kegare chamber. With both barrels.
* [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped A Laser On Him]]
* TheEvilGenius
* HandCannon: How [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything appropriate]].
** On a literal sense, his Photon Cannon spell in Eternal Punishment.
* HereWeGoAgain: He's fought once in both games.
* MadEye
* WesternZodiac: Taurus, same with Lisa. Just like all major members of the Masked Circle, his [[RedBaron title]] is based off his zodiac, and hints he is supposed to be Lisa's EvilCounterpart, not only that they share the same zodiac but both are [[spoiler: involved in sexual related scandal]]
!!Junko Kurosu AKA Queen Aquarius
[[quoteright:144:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2junko_7202.jpg]]
The fourth and last member of the Masked Four, Queen Aquarius is secretly Junko Kurosu, a celebrity actress and Jun's mother. Once a popular girl at Seven Sisters High School, Junko set her eyes on her history teacher and husband-to-be, Akinari Kashihara. Junko grew weary of family life after Jun was born and spread vicious rumors about her husband. Following his violent death at Seven Sister High School, Junko embraced being single again and began to treat Jun miserably. Believing her career to be in danger because of her maturity, Junko summoned the Joker and wished to remain young forever; Joker complied, recruiting her into the Masked Circle.
In ''Eternal Punishment'', Jun's father is still alive and Junko's marriage seems stable. During a celebrity interview at the TV Studio, Chiruzu Ishagami infects Junko with the JOKER curse. It is implied that she was brought to the Velvet Room and cured, but she isn't seen for the rest of the game.
* DarkChick
* DistressedDamsel: In ''Eternal Punishment''.
* ImmortalityImmorality: Junko's raison d'être.
* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: She is supposedly modeled after the adult film star Senri Yamazaki.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The Kurosu [[PeekABangs bangs]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Pushes Joker out of a spear's path and is fatally impaled]]. This mere moments after learning that the Joker is her son, Jun.
* TeacherStudentRomance: What she sees in Kashihara is anybody's guess. He was an admired teacher at Sevens, so Junko likely considered him a trophy boyfriend. The ''real'' question is what Kashihara saw in ''her''.
* TheUnfought: The only Masked Four member you can never fight. However you do fight her replica, Metal Mom, in a hall inside of Xibalba.
* WesternZodiac: Aquarius, the same as her son. Like all major members of the Masked Circle, her [[RedBaron title]] is based off her zodiac, and hints that she is supposed to be her son's EvilCounterpart, and both are very popular because of their beauty.
* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Primarily in ''Innocent Sin'', though she continues to work as an actress in ''Eternal Punishment''.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Junko is only 37, though her ''Eternal Punishment'' incarnation looks middle aged.
!!Ixquic
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2ixquic_9890.jpg]]
A 13 year-old [[{{Cosplay}} cosplayer]] with a very lively imagination, believing that she's a "reincarnated warrior maiden", Ixquic. In ''Innocent Sin'', she turns out to be a minion of King Leo. In ''Eternal Punishment'', she hangs out at Giga Macho (The Seedy CD) music store, and is hunting down the two rumored demons that reside there.
* BadassBoast: "I, Ixquic, shall [[SophisticatedAsHell whoop your asses!!]]"
** HeyThatsMyLine: Maya isn't pleased about that line being used.
* {{BFS}}: Paper-mâché or not, that's one big honkin sword right there.
* CampingACrapper: Ixquic and her minions ambush Tatsuya inside a public restroom by hiding in the stalls.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* DarkSkinnedBlond: A platinum-haired variant.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Her real name is Akari Hoshi. But try telling her that.
* EmoTeen: Doesn't care whether she lives or dies, because she hates her life and her parents "totally suck".
* HeelFaceTurn: In ''Innocent Sin'', she does redeem herself after being rescued from the museum, and she aspires to become a manga artist.
* HeroicWannabe
* HotBloodedSideburns
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain
* LostInCharacter
* PerkyFemaleMinion
* QuirkyMinibossSquad
* SuperheroesWearCapes
* WoundedGazelleGambit: After King Leo sets fire to the Sky Museum, Ixquic jumps inside the cockpit of a ceiling-suspended Japanese warplane, screaming for help.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Shadow Selves]]
Unlike the Shadows Selves of [[VideoGame/{{Persona4}} Persona 4]] these were born from rumors made about the protagonists made real [[spoiler: by Nyarlathotep]] and serve the Masked Circle. Each shadow is hostile towards their other selves attacking even if they are accepted by the heroes. They also use the reverse version of the other self's persona.
* BreakThemByTalking: It's their calling in their creation to torture their other self breaking them with words and facts about themselves. It's also done in order to help [[spoiler: Nyarlathotep's goals of destroying the heroes both physically and mentally. ]]
* EnemyWithout: They are physical manifestations of a person's repressed thoughts and emotions.
* MotiveRant: Usually a part of their breaking speech. Shadows will usually ramble about what they, and by extension their other selves, really want.
* ShadowArchetype: In full Jungian psychology, the Shadows are the part of ourselves we try to hide from the rest of the world. To deny them only gives them greater power. Accepting them as a part of ourselves allows us to begin improving.

[[folder:Independent Antagonists]]
!!Maya Okamura
[[quoteright:126:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/okamura_p2_2733.jpg]]
Lisa Silverman's homeroom teacher, nicknamed "Ideal-sensei" by her students due to her [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentricities]]. She used to work alongside Jun's father, Akinari Kashihara. Okamura harbored an unrequited love for him, and resented his wife, Junko. She was a collaborator on Kashihara's unreleased book, which prophesied the signs leading up to the [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt end of days]]; among these portents was the return of Adolf Hitler and his "[[{{Ghostapo}} Last Battalion]]". Kashihara later met a suspicious death when he fell inside the Seven Sisters clock tower and was crushed by the gears.
Okamura stations herself at the Kuzunoha Detective Agency, where she assists in shedding light on Mr. Kashihara's research on the Last Battalion. As the portents of the book start becoming true, Okamura loses her mind and decides to expedite the catastrophe. The final portent is the death of a woman named "Maya". Okamura is initially willing to sacrifice herself, but is instead approached by Nyarlathotep. At the conclusion of the game, [[spoiler:Okamura materializes and impales Maya Amano with [[TheLanceOfLonginus the Spear of Longinus]]. Philemon intervenes by rewinding time and negating Maya's death, thus creating the ''Eternal Punishment'' timeline]].
Okamura appears during the main story in ''Eternal Punishment'' only once: she is standing in the school courtyard during the game's introduction. If Maya speaks with her, she will sense that they have met before.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited
* [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's Spear]]
* ConspiracyTheorist: Mayans! Hitler! ALIENS! She's the queen of this trope. Her persecution complex and subsequent spiraling into madness is a depressingly valid depiction of many paranoids today.
* FaceHeelTurn
* HaveWeMetYet: In ''Eternal Punishment'', the player has the option of speaking with Okamura (while controlling Maya) in Seven Sister High School's courtyard. Both mention that the other looks familiar...
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Par excellence.
* MadnessMakeover: Once she really goes off the deep end, her ponytail unfolds into a wacked-out blossom of hair, and her normally composed face is replaced with [[SlasherSmile an evil grin]].
* [[MrExposition Miss Exposition]]
* ProperlyParanoid: Regardless of cosmic meddling, everything Kashihara put to paper has come to pass.
* SanitySlippage
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: A maiden with the name "Maya" is prophesied as a harbinger of the Apocalypse. In the depths of her insanity, Okamura is prepared to die to fulfill that role. [[spoiler:However, nobody figured on it being Maya ''Amano'']].
* SinisterShades
* TeamKiller: Nyarlathotep using her as a convenient pawn to stab [[spoiler:Maya Amano]] with TheLanceOfLonginus and kill her.
* WildMassGuessing: So ''who'' killed Kashihara, again? Okamura says the Last Battalion did it, [[UnreliableNarrator but]][[IfICantHaveYou ...]]
* WomanInBlack
* UnwittingPawn: The Sensei is the opposite number to Maya Amano, having been tapped by Nyarlathotep to help nail down humanity's coffin good and tight. Her avatar in the ''Eternal Punishment'' timeline is Foreign Minister Sudou, an Illuminati stooge.
* {{Yandere}}: To a dead man, no less.
!!Principal Harding/Hanya
[[quoteright:169:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2hanya_9384.jpg]]
The principal of the Seven Sisters High School, and previously the vice principal of St. Hermelin in the first game. Tatsuya Suou's party battles Principal Hanya on top of the clock tower after destroying the smaller clocks in the school classrooms in Innocent Sin. He dies afterwards, but when you meet a student who asks how he's doing, you can either tell the truth, or spread the rumor that he's alive. If you choose the latter, Principal Hanya will reemerge later in the game and repel the invasion of Hitler's Last Battalion on his own. Otherwise, the St. Hermelin alumni will do the job.
In ''Eternal Punishment'', he is still a hated principal, and is immediately killed when Noriko Katayama performs the Joker Curse on him for insulting Anna Yoshizaka, who can no longer represent Sevens in the regional track meet because of a permanent injury caused by a hit-and-run accident.
* AssholeVictim
* BackFromTheDead
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Upon being defeated, he leaps off of the clock tower to certain death. Sort of.
* CardCarryingVillain: Hanya is an unofficial (but enthusiastic) member of the Masked Circle, an affiliation he barely tries to conceal. In his introductory scene, he makes guarded threats against Tatsuya's life and chortles at his misfortune. He does not possess even one redeeming trait.
* DeanBitterman: With the curse in effect, he can say or do anything and the students will still think he's peachy-keen. He abuses this to the hilt.
* DestinationDefenestration: After you defeat him, he jumps through the stained-glass face of the Sevens Clock.
* FascinatingEyebrow
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Hanya has a comical Blofeld scar under his eye.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: If the player chooses, Hanya can be resurrected via a rumor and return to help liberate Sevens from the Nazis. He undergoes a nice attitude adjustment, too.
* LaserGuidedKarma: In ''Innocent Sin'', Principal Hanya and Joker are in cahoots. He's murdered by JOKER within the first 20 minutes of ''Eternal Punishment''.
* MeaningfulName: His nickname is "Hannya", a demon in Japanese literature. Guess what his Persona is?
* MundaneWish: Hanya admits to performing the Joker Charm to restore his thinning hairline.
* NoOneCouldHaveSurvivedThat
* OffscreenTeleportation: Coming back to life has the added effect of turning Hanya CrazyAwesome. He keeps warping between classrooms, standing over a pile of unconscious Nazis each time.
* OurFounder: His statue in the school courtyard starts moving on its own accord. (That is one ''crazy'' school.)
* [[SadistTeacher Sadist Principal]]
* SlasherSmile: Permanently etched onto his face.
* StartToCorpse: In ''EP'', he's the JOKER's only onscreen victim. The school transforms into a dungeon upon discovering of his corpse, whereupon the real game starts.
* StarterVillain
* ThisIsADrill: His Persona comes equipped with two of them.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Thanks to a well-placed rumor, nearly every student thinks he's the greatest thing since ice cream. "He's annoying and fussy and [[NotHelpingYourCase a great guy]]."
* WarmupBoss
!!Yasuo Inoe
A student who hangs out on the rooftop of Kasugayama High School, discontented with the current system and wishes to become Student Body President to implement his desired changes. In Innocent Sin, Yasuo uses the Joker Charm to make his ambition a reality. He was responsible for spreading the rumor that the Seven Sisters High School Emblem was cursed, and collaborated with Lady Scorpio to collect Ideal Energy at Kasugayama High's dance party. He is fought as a boss, and dies at the hands of King Leo upon failing. In ''Eternal Punishment'', Yasuo is still alive, and is back to being a discontented Student Body Presidential wannabe.
* AllElectionsAreSeriousBusiness: His incentive for joining The Masked Circle.
* AsianAndNerdy
* ClimbingClimax: Eikichi (finally) corners him on the school's roof.
* DirtyCoward: Through clever use of a walkie-talkie, he traps the party inside the school's bomb shelter. Which ordinarily isn't a big deal... except rumors have transformed it into an [[EldritchLocation endless maze]].
* ForeheadOfDoom
* StudentCouncilPresident: Yasuo can only compete in a fixed election, as evidenced in ''Eternal Punishment''.
!!Hiroki Sugimoto
A second-year student at Kasugayama High. Ever since Eikichi beat him up in middle school, he's hated Eikichi and wanted to defeat him, jealous of his power and clout as the school leader. He uses the Joker Charm so he can become stronger, spreads the rumor that the Head is stronger than Captain Death, and even kidnapped Miyabi. Eikichi relinquishes his position as Captain Death, creating a loophole that allows him to defeat Sugimoto. In ''Eternal Punishment'', he is kidnapped and drained of Kegare at the Science Lab in Kei Nanjo's route. Maya's party runs into Eikichi, who was trying to save Sugimoto as per his role as the school leader. They later find Sugimoto, who was turned into a monster. Kei and the party try their best to subdue Sugimoto without killing him, and assures Eikichi that the Nanjo Group will pull out all the stops to turn his classmate back to normal.

[[folder:The Last Battalion]]
!!The Knights of the Holy Lance
The Order of the Holy Lance is the elite force of the Last Battalion, consisting of thirteen "Longinus" robots charged with eliminating enemy Persona-users. Despite being identical in appearance, each Longinus robot has a distinct voice and personality. True to their namesake, each Knight comes armed with a copy of the Spear of Destiny.
* AntiMagic: Their spears are capable of sealing Personas.
* CapeBusters
* DamageSpongeBoss: Can take astounding amounts of punishment.
* EvilGloating: If you pay attention to it, you'll notice that they know far more about you than they should be able to, [[spoiler:foreshadowing the true nature of their Fuhrer]].
* GratuitousGerman: [[CallingYourAttacks Announces their different attacks]] by shouting stock German phrases like "Feuer!" and "Guten Nacht!".
** Made even more ridiculous with the English dub, where some of their voice actors don't even attempt to pull of a German accent for the voiced dialogue.
* {{Magitek}}: How robots without Personas are capable of using spells, we'll never know.
* MoreDakka: Armed with MG-32 machine guns.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Ostensibly based on Heinrich Himmler and his twelve Lieutenants
* RecurringBoss: Over the second half of the game you fight every single Longinus, usually in groups of three or four. The first encounter with them teams you up with a single party member against a single Longinus, however. Your party defeats the other two offscreen.
** [[DuelBoss You also get the option of facing one all by yourself.]]
* ShockAndAwe: Their trademark "Geistesblitz" attack.
* StupidJetpackHitler
* YouAreNumberSix: They refer to each other by their numbers (the German numbers, of course). However, they are also clearly individuals.
* YouFool: When defeated, each robot leaves you with a bitter "You know ''nothing''!"
!!The Fuhrer
The leader of the Last Batallion. An infamous German dictator who started a [[WorldWarII world war]] that would be the scene of multiple atrocities. Thought to have comitted suicide at the end of the war, he is ressurrected by a conspiracy theory that claims he survived, spirited away to Antarctica by his loyal robot batallion. As such, he shows up midway through the game to compete with the Masked Circle for control over the Crystal Skulls and Xibalba. What? No, he definitely isn't ''that'' [[AdolfHitler infamous German dictator]] (Not in the version of the game that was released outside of Japan, in any case). [[spoiler: Eventually it turns out that he isn't human at all- he's Nyarlathotep in disguise.]]
* ArtifactOfDoom: Carries the true Spear of Destiny, as he is keen on reminding you.
* BadassBoast: ''"If you want answers, you must defeat me. But know that this [[ArtifactOfDoom Spear of Destiny]] and the power of [[BigBad Nyarlathotep]] are very real..."''
* FamilyValuesVillain: The only time he reprimands you is when Jun refers to his father as a "monster".
* {{Ghostapo}}: While his robots fall under the StupidJetpackHitler category, the Fuhrer himself packs a persona and some pretty impressive supernatural powers.
* GodwinsLaw: Obligatory, given who he is in the PSX version.
* GracefulLoser: Compliments you throughout his boss fight. His damage emote is "You're good!" rather than the usual grunt of pain, and when he is defeated, he mutters "Amazing..."
* GratuitousGerman: In the English version, as is to be expected.
* HolyHandGrenade: His Holy Ark attack.
--> '''Fuhrer:''' ''This is God's punishment!''
* NoSell: His Holy Grail move grants him full invincibility for a two turns
* OneHitKill: His Omega Cluster and Holy Ark moves can inflict this on party members.
* PaperThinDisguise: The localization team "censored" [[AdolfHitler one of history's most infamous war criminals]] by:
** Slapping a pair of CoolShades and a BadassLongcoat on him.
** [[NoSwastikas Replacing all swastikas with Iron Crosses (and replacing the swastika battlefield in his boss battle with]] [[AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield a circle of glowing glyphs in a blue void]]).
** Changing his name to [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep "The Fuhrer"]].
* PowerFloats
* ShockAndAwe: His "Vril-Blitz" attack, an upgraded version of the "Geistesblitz" move used by the Longinus Robots.
* ShoutOut: Some of the attacks he invokes are awfully similar to artifacts sought by both ThoseWackyNazis and [[Franchise/IndianaJones a certain whip-wielding archeologist]].
* SlasherSmile: Pictured with one. The sunglasses in the localized version makes it much more cocky than threatening.
* SquishyWizard: Posesses powerful attacks, but has very low health for being the penultimate boss of the game. [[TheBattleDidntCount Then again...]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Believes that the masses want to be ruled in fear of a dictator that relieves them of the burden of making descisions.
* WorthyOpponent: Seems awfully interested in fighting you for some reason.

[[folder:New World Order]]
!!Tatsuzou Sudou
[[quoteright:162:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2tatsuzousudou_4652.jpg]]
Father of Tatsuya Sudou, aka King Leo, he is briefly referenced in ''Innocent Sin'' before being revealed as the head of the [[TheIlluminati New World Order]] in ''Eternal Punishment''. He is estranged from his son, whom he confined to a mental hospital as a child. Tatsuzou is Japan's Foreign Minister, and is secretly head of a governmental conspiracy to create a world without original sin. Tatsuzou is unaware of the fact that he, like his son, is being manipulated by Nyarlathotep.
* AffablyEvil
* BodyHorror: Nyarlathotep's energy mutates him into a demon before you fight him.
* CoolShip: Has his own cruise ship, the ''Nichirin-maru''.
* DarkMessiah
* EvilOldFolks
* TheGhost: Referenced -- but never seen -- in the first game.
* HotbloodedSideburns
* IHaveNoSon: Imprisoned his psychopathic son inside a sanitarium. And if Tatsuzou had had his way, junior would've ''stayed'' there.
* TheIlluminati: The highest echelons of government are part of his organization.
* ManInWhite
* MisanthropeSupreme
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He's evaded every criminal investigation come his way, and seems to have the Taiwanese mafia on speed dial.
* SleazyPolitician
* SwordCane: He's just a docile old man with a limp... until he breaks out the sword and slaughters his cohorts.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity
* UnwittingPawn: Of Nyarlathotep.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans
!!Kiyotada Sumaru
The mummified remains of a feudal warlord who established what is now Sumaru City. Thanks to Nyarlathotep's influence, Tatsuzou Sudou was able to reanimate him with rumors. Sumaru's remains are the centerpiece of the New World Order, communicating to its members via {{Telepathy}}. Once the Monado Mandala has risen, Sumaru's castle is mystically unearthed and towers over the entire city.
* BackFromTheDead
* BadassMustache: Still impressive, even if the rest of him is in poor shape.
* ClippedWingAngel: It is possible to kill Sumaru in one hit if the right conditions are met. Summoning the three Ancestral Personas during the battle for a Fusion Attack will defeat him instantly. This is explained in-game by the Personas being the spirits of a samurai who originally toppled Sumaru, his princess, and their retainer. It's also a case of GuideDangIt, so whether this is worth all the trouble is subjective.
* EvilOverlord
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Sumaru Castle.
* FeudalFuture: His ultimate goal.
* {{Mummy}}
!!Guido/Takahisa Kandori
[[quoteright:180:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kandori_p2_6154.jpg]]
The former antagonist of the original ''Persona'', who has been resurrected due to rumors. He unquestioningly serves the New World Order, but seems to be following his own agenda. During the events of ''Eternal Punishment'', Takahisa Kandori, (now called Guido Kandori in the NA version) is brought back to life through the power of Kototama performed by the NWO. The extensive scars on his body are reminiscent of Tatsuya Suou's marks.
* AntiVillain: Fresh from death and a trip to {{Hell}}, he knows [[BeingEvilSucks evil isn't what it's cracked up to be]].
* {{Badass}}
** BadassInANiceSuit
** TookALevelInBadass: Lost his weakness to guns from the first game and picked up resistances to pretty much everything.
* BackFromTheDead
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Not only do his shades compliment his suit and enhance his evil look, they hide the fact he literally has nothing behind his eyes.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Gets annoyed with Nanjo doing this prior to the boss fight.
* DuelBoss: In the second part of Tatsuya's scenario.
* FourEyesZeroSoul
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor
* HijackedByGanon: He's in an ideal position to be this, and Chizuru outright wants him to be one. However, [[SubvertedTrope he really doesn't care]] because [[spoiler:he knows his time on Earth is limited and his only real interests are settling things with Nanjo and the Paradox that brought about the events of the game]].
* IHaveManyNames: Thanks to the English translation of the first game. In the Japanese version, he only uses the alias of "Guy Shidou" (Tatsuzou's secretary), but thanks to the localization changes he has his name from the first Persona (retconned as an alias) as well.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Despite his AlasPoorVillain moment in the previous game, he's gone back to his old ways. When confronted on this by Kei, Kandori replies he's [[BecauseImGoodAtIt too old to change now]].
* LoveRedeems: If he's not in love with Chiruzu, he at least cares for her deeply, as evidenced by his final scene.
* MarkOfTheBeast: From what little we see of his skin, it's covered in a dark spiderweb pattern.
* [[spoiler:GoingDownWithTheShip]]: After assisting Nanjo and his friends, Kandori opts to [[spoiler:remain in the collapsing ruins with Chizuru at his side.]]
* UnholyMatrimony: With Chizuru.
* UnwittingPawn: After being brought back, he knows that like Tatsuya, he is just a pawn of Nyarlathotep.
* WorthyOpponent: To Nanjo. Kandori's actually grown quite fond of him in the interim between games.
!!Chizuru Ishigami
Chizuru is a famous fortune teller who uses her show to spread rumors for the NWO. Unlike the other villains, Chiruzu does not use a Persona in combat but creates duplicates of herself to fool her opponents. Eriko Kirishima arrives in Sumaru City investigating her and her connection to the NWO. During a television interview, Junko Kurosu transformed into a Joker and attempts to kill Lisa Silverman.
Afterwards, she joins with the revived Takahisa Kandori and leaves with him for the Undersea Ruins, although she questions why someone like him would be happy serving as simply a pawn for Tatsuzou Sudou. Eventually, she and Kandori are confronted by Maya Amano and her party along with Tatsuya Suou. [[spoiler:They are both defeated, and, despite Nanjo/Eriko's pleading, stay behind in the collapsing Undersea Ruins to die]].
* DarkMistress: To Kandori.
* DoppelgangerAttack
* DragonLady
* {{Familiar}}: She has a number of them, including a black cat.

* FrozenInTime: The trap placed by Chiruzu on the entire Sumaru TV studio.
* KentBrockmanNews: Means by which she employs ReversePsychology on the entire city population.
* KnifeNut
* LoveMartyr: To Kandori. [[spoiler:In the literal sense]].
* UnholyMatrimony: With Kandori.
* WomanInBlack
!!General Sugawara
A top-ranking member of the NWO and commander of the Tenchu Army. Sugawara is wasting away from some unknown malady, which is what motivated him to assist Tatsuzou.
* ArmiesAreEvil: By virtue of simply being self-interested, he's not GeneralRipper material. His men have no compunction about mowing down innocents, though.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor / BlessedWithSuck: See below.
* ExactWords: Tatsuzou promises the terminally-ill General Sugawara that if their plan goes forward, he will be made immortal. He didn't say anything about being an immortal ''person''.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Always has a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
* ImmortalityImmorality
* LovecraftianSuperpower: Tatsuzou keeps his promise, and Sugawara is rendered immortal. He's also a hideous mutation sprouted from a pair of disjointed (if relatively normal) human legs.
* MookLieutenant
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: It's strongly implied that he ''did''.
* PainfulTransformation
* SoapOperaDisease: He looks sickly and pale, but we're left to infer the rest.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Detests Tatsuzou, and is only assisting him out of self-preservation.
!!Captain Togashi
Head of the Kounan police force, and Katsuya's top superior in the department. He, along with other top officials, is a member of the New World Order. Unlike the others, however, he is unable to hear Gozen's voice -- perhaps a sign of his wavering loyalty to them. He once worked alongside Katsuya's father.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Togashi was the one who betrayed Katsya's father, allowing him to take the fall for his crimes]].
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: His attire while serving as an informant. A rather PaperThinDisguise, but still...
* DaChief
* HeelFaceTurn
* MrExposition: The {{Infodump}} he provides is equal to Okamura's in the previous game. That is to say, ''not'' small.
* MysteriousInformant
* [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath: Shot by Shimazu]] shortly after explaining the nature of Gozen and the NWO.
!!Administrator Shimazu
Katusya's direct superior in the Kounan department, and lieutenant to Captain Togashi. He dislikes Katsuya by association, as his father was disgraced and expelled from the force.
* DirtyCop: All-around scumbag.
* EvilCounterpart: To Katsuya.
* ForeheadOfDoom
* GasLeakCoverup: Dismisses the Sanitarium fire as a "gas explosion".
* {{Gonk}}: The dev team couldn't have made him more ornery if they'd tried.
* TheMole: Obstructing the JOKER investigation and feeding information straight to Tatsuzou Sudou himself.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat
* SmugSnake: The English localization even gave him the voice of one.

[[folder:Masked Circle]]
!!Tatsuya Sudou AKA King Leo/JOKER
[[quoteright:182:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2sudou_2299.jpg]]
Real name Tatsuya Sudou (not to be confused with Tatsuya Suou), King Leo is one of the "Masked Four", the executives of the Masked Circle, and TheDragon to Joker. Easily the most psychotic of the Joker's crew, Leo has a marked predilection for explosives and is a pyromaniac. In ''Eternal Punishment'', Sudou's father is revealed to be Japan's Foreign Minister and Baofu's archenemy, Tatsuzou Sudou. Despite his mania, Sudou is fiercely devoted to Joker.
* AbusiveParents
* AssassinOutclassin: Upon entering the hospital through the rear door, the team finds the place ransacked dead bodies of Taiwanese hitmen sent to kill Sudou, who in turn killed by the demons he summoned. In Room 303 of Morimoto (Sudou's room), pictures of all the victims of the JOKER killings are found, and later, Sudou he explains that he got his power via Kotodama (Spreading rumors), and that the "voices" (Nyarlathotep) tell him everything. Afterwards, the police torch the hospital to remove evidence of Minister Sudou's involvement in the botched hit.
* AxCrazy: No splitting hairs, here.
* BrownBagMask: Worn in ''Eternal Punishment'' as a crude substitute for Joker's mask.
* BusFullOfInnocents: Those schoolchildren picked a [[TimeBomb bad day for a tour]]....
* CardboardPrison: The sanitarium can't contain him, regardless of which universe he's in.
* CreepyChild: Even in flashbacks, he's still the same giggling, [[MadEye mad-eyed]] arsonist we know and love. [[spoiler:Granted, this was after those rumors...]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: In EP.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Sudou tumbles into the same flaming pit in both realities. The second time around, [[DeathByIrony Jun pitches him in]].
* TheDragon / DragonAscendant: To Joker.
* DuelBoss: In the first part of Tatsuya's scenario.
* FreudianExcuse: If you actually look into his backstory, you'd realize that he was originally just a nervous, twitchy kid in high school. He turned crazy because of all the rumors his classmates made about him, because he was a little "different." Try to hate him now, you bastards.
** In ''Eternal Punishment,'' though, it seems he's just genuinely crazy. [[spoiler: At Mt.Iwato, its revealed that Nyaralathotep managed to communicate with Sudou and tell him about the other side. Afterwards, the rest of it was all of This Side's Sudou just being crazy.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To the other Tatsuya; in Innocent Sin, his Persona is even a Reverse version of Suou's.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: His previous run-in with Tatsuya Suou cost him an eye.
* HearingVoices: "[[MadnessMantra VOICESVOICESVOICESVOICESVOICESVOICESVOICES]]! You can't ''run'' from the voices!"
* ILikeSwords
* InstitutionalApparel: When he breaks loose from the sanitarium, the first thing Sudou grabs is a trench coat (he leaves the hospital smock on underneath).
* LaserGuidedKarma: Sudou always ends up losing an eye, regardless of which timeline he's in. He's pretty pissed about it.
* LastVillainStand: The zeppelin battle.
* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: JOKER, in a hurry to make Maya remember the Other Side, tosses her a pair of handguns to defend herself.
* MadBomber
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: Either Sudou knows what's coming, or it's a lucky guess. Anyway, bravado or not, once he's dead, the NWO spreads a rumor causing anyone who called the JOKER to [[spoiler:become Jokers themselves]].
* NotQuiteDead: "My face! AGAIN!!"
* PlayingWithFire: Natch.
* PleaseKeepYourHatOn: A quarter of his face is burned off.
* PsychoSupporter: He is ''really'' devoted to Joker, to the point that shippers suspected some kind of tryst there. (There isn't.)
** Sudou's history following the burning of the Alaya Shrine is sketchy, but he couldn't have gotten out of the asylum without Joker's help. Jun also reminds him of Mr. Kashihara, the only person to think that Sudou wasn't crazy.
* PsychopathicManchild: Type B.
* PutTheLaughterInSlaughter
* PyroManiac
* RefugeInAudacity: Sudou [[StuffBlowingUp blows up]] the police station ''and'' the fire station, so nobody can act in response to his bombings.
* RightHandAttackDog: His {{Hellhound}}.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: See "Evil Counterpart".
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Tatsuya Sudou's old cell in the sanitarium. Judging by the wall graffiti, it looks like Nyarlathotep has been visiting him...
* ScarsAreForever: Disfigured from an encounter with Tatsuya Suou many years ago, during which young Tatsuya manifested his Persona (Vulcanus) and blinded him in one eye.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Tatsuya's father was in charge of investigating a serial arsonist, and came close to fingering Tatsuya Sudou as the culprit. Sudou's father is a prominent politician, so he arranged for Mr. Suou to be framed and [[TurnInYourBadge forced to resign]] from the police force in disgrace.
* SerialKiller
* TakingYouWithMe: After Maya flies the blimp off the museum, it's revealed in a cutscene that part of it was damaged by King Leo.
* TalkativeLoon
* TurnOutLikeHisFather: Both are one fry short of a happy meal, that's for certain.
* VillainousBreakdown
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Sudou began hearing voices (likely Nyaralathotep at a young age, and it likely exacerbated his psychopathy.
* WouldHurtAChild: Torching the Alaya Shrine was actually just because the voices told him. Normally, that'd be okay, because it's an accident, but even after finding out there were two children in the area, he was perfectly fine with almost killing them both. Planting bombs in a museum with children inside (twice), however, definitely qualifies.
* YouHaveFailedMe: After losing to Eikichi, Yasuo is sternly reprimanded by King Leo... who [[DisproportionateRetribution sets him on fire]].
* YouRemindMeOfX: He obviously sees a lot of [[spoiler:Akinari Kashihara in Jun]], and rewards Joker's kindness with dog-like devotion.
* WesternZodiac: Leo, same with Tatsuya Suou. Like all major members of the Masked Circle, His [[RedBaron title]] is based off his zodiac, and it's the same with Tatsuya Suou's, adding even more evidence he is Tatsuya Suou's EvilCounterpart.
!!Anna Yoshizaka AKA Lady Scorpio
->Voiced by: Creator/MonaMarshall (in English)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2_anna_4258.jpg]]
Anna Yoshizaka was once a track athlete at Seven Sisters High School. However, she was involved in a hit-and-run accident, which dashed her dreams of becoming a star athlete. She began skipping school, seeing no point in attending when she had nothing more to work towards. Somewhere around this time, she fell under the thrall of the Joker and became Lady Scorpio, one of the Masked Four. Like Prince Taurus, her role is targeting other young people at Kasugayama High School and the Zodiac Club. It isn't necessary to fight Lady Scorpio; she doesn't confront the party until Caracol, when the player's choices determine [[spoiler:whether she lives or dies]].
[[spoiler:If the player chooses to force Yukino Mayuzumi to accompany the party to Caracol, Yukino will be there to counteract her [[EvilTwin Shadow]], and Anna will ultimately assist Yukino in fighting the Last Battalion. If they leave Yukino behind, Anna will follow Shadow Yukino and the two will jump from a bridge, hand-in-hand, thus killing Anna]].
In ''Eternal Punishment'', Anna is falsely accused of performing the "JOKER curse" on the driver who hit her. When Principal Hanya is murdered in his office, Anna is the obvious suspect, as Maya overheard her mutter that she would kill Hanya after he denounced her in front of the entire school.
Later in the game, [[spoiler:her SempaiKohai, Noriko, is discovered to have used the JOKER curse twice (Noriko is the one who ordered the deaths of both Hanya and the man responsible for Anna's accident), and is kidnapped by the Taiwanese mafia for that very reason. Anna phones Maya and the party to help free the girl, giving them the tip-off about the mafia's location]].
* TheBaroness
* [[spoiler:BetterToDieThanBeKilled]]: One possible outcome of the Caracol arc.
* BlindingBangs: The malevolent "Lady Scorpio" personality has a shock of hair covering a vacant smile.
* BrokenBird
* TheBrute: She used to be a star athlete; this is no half-pint you're dealing with.
* ClearMyName: At the beginning of ''Eternal Punishment''. The driver who injured her has been murdered, followed by the principal. Even for those who haven't played ''Innocent Sin'', the evidence is definitely stacked against her.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness
* EmotionlessGirl: In point of fact, she only starts smiling if you choose the Bad storyline, and she succumbs to her evil.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: To the point of having her own {{Yandere}}. A male student at Sevens is infatuated with [[spoiler:Noriko]], but as his buddy points out, she only has eyes for Anna.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Only possible if you bring Yukino with you into Caracol]].
* ICouldaBeenAContender
* MakingASplash
* NotMeThisTime: Played with in ''Eternal Punishment''.
* RedHerring: See "Clear My Name".
* SchoolgirlLesbians: Implied with her {{Yandere}} admirer, [[spoiler:Noriko]].
** Anna/Yukino might also count, if you're a dedicated shipper.
* StartOfDarkness: When she was involved in an accident and began cutting school, her dreams ruined.
* TrueBlueFemininity
* WesternZodiac: Scorpio, same with Eikichi. Like all major member of the Masked Circle, her [[RedBaron title]] is based off her zodiac, and hints that she is supposed to be Eikichi's EvilCounterpart as they share the same zodiac.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: In the past, Tatsuya and Anna were often found loitering and cutting school together.
* WhipItGood
* YouBastard: Your party fights her if you leave Yukino at Caracol's summit, causing her hopelessness to give fuel to Shadow Yukino.
!!Ginji Sazaki AKA Prince Taurus
Ginji Sasaki is an ex-musician who used to perform for a one hit wonder band. Since then, he's irked out a living as a record producer, trying to recapture his former glory. Ginji has a reputation for making sexual advances toward his female artists, particularly adolescent girls. In desperation, Ginji performed the Joker Charm, hoping to be successful again. Joker granted his wish, and Ginji was made one of the Masked Four, placed in charge of stealing Ideal Energy from young people. He begins promoting a secretive [[FakeBand teen idol]] band known as "MUSES", and spreads a rumor that Lisa and her classmates are members. Late in the game, Prince Taurus follows the rest of the Masked Circle into Xibalba and is incinerated by a booby trap. His death is not shown on-screen, as Tatsuya's party discover his charred remains some time later.
In ''Eternal Punishment'', Ginji is manipulated into essentially the same role. He is brainwashed by the New World Order to host a seminar at the mall, where he encourages people to get rid of their "Kegare". In the ensuring shootout with Maya and her party, the glass container holding all the stores of Kegare is shattered, turning Ginji into a JOKER.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Ginji's based on Tetsuya Komuro, a Japanese music producer known for his taste in nubile pop stars. One of the artists managed by Komuro is hitomi, who sang the original ending theme for ''Innocent Sin''. Ooh, faced!
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: After being reduced to an NWO Mook.

* HereWeGoAgain: He's fought once in both games.
* MadEye
* WesternZodiac: Taurus, same with Lisa. Just like all major members of the Masked Circle, his [[RedBaron title]] is based off his zodiac, and hints he is supposed to be Lisa's EvilCounterpart, not only that they share the same zodiac but both are [[spoiler: involved in sexual related scandal]]
!!Junko Kurosu AKA Queen Aquarius
[[quoteright:144:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2junko_7202.jpg]]
The fourth and last member of the Masked Four, Queen Aquarius is secretly Junko Kurosu, a celebrity actress and Jun's mother. Once a popular girl at Seven Sisters High School, Junko set her eyes on her history teacher and husband-to-be, Akinari Kashihara. Junko grew weary of family life after Jun was born and spread vicious rumors about her husband. Following his violent death at Seven Sister High School, Junko embraced being single again and began to treat Jun miserably. Believing her career to be in danger because of her maturity, Junko summoned the Joker and wished to remain young forever; Joker complied, recruiting her into the Masked Circle.
In ''Eternal Punishment'', Jun's father is still alive and Junko's marriage seems stable. During a celebrity interview at the TV Studio, Chiruzu Ishagami infects Junko with the JOKER curse. It is implied that she was brought to the Velvet Room and cured, but she isn't seen for the rest of the game.
* DarkChick
* DistressedDamsel: In ''Eternal Punishment''.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Pushes Joker out of a spear's path and is fatally impaled]]. This mere moments after learning that the Joker is her son, Jun.
* TeacherStudentRomance: What she sees in Kashihara is anybody's guess. He was an admired teacher at Sevens, so Junko likely considered him a trophy boyfriend. The ''real'' question is what Kashihara saw in ''her''.
* TheUnfought: The only Masked Four member you can never fight. However you do fight her replica, Metal Mom, in a hall inside of Xibalba.
* WesternZodiac: Aquarius, the same as her son. Like all major members of the Masked Circle, her [[RedBaron title]] is based off her zodiac, and hints that she is supposed to be her son's EvilCounterpart, and both are very popular because of their beauty.
* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Primarily in ''Innocent Sin'', though she continues to work as an actress in ''Eternal Punishment''.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Junko is only 37, though her ''Eternal Punishment'' incarnation looks middle aged.

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2ixquic_9890.jpg]]
A 13 year-old [[{{Cosplay}} cosplayer]] with a very lively imagination, believing that she's a "reincarnated warrior maiden", Ixquic. In ''Innocent Sin'', she turns out to be a minion of King Leo. In ''Eternal Punishment'', she hangs out at Giga Macho (The Seedy CD) music store, and is hunting down the two rumored demons that reside there.
* BadassBoast: "I, Ixquic, shall [[SophisticatedAsHell whoop your asses!!]]"
** HeyThatsMyLine: Maya isn't pleased about that line being used.

[[folder:Shadow Selves]]
Unlike the Shadows Selves of [[VideoGame/{{Persona4}} Persona 4]] these were born from rumors made about the protagonists made real [[spoiler: by Nyarlathotep]] and serve the Masked Circle. Each shadow is hostile towards their other selves attacking even if they are accepted by the heroes. They also use the reverse version of the other self's persona.
* BreakThemByTalking: It's their calling in their creation to torture their other self breaking them with words and facts about themselves. It's also done in order to help [[spoiler: Nyarlathotep's goals of destroying the heroes both physically and mentally. ]]
* EnemyWithout: They are physical manifestations of a person's repressed thoughts and emotions.
* MotiveRant: Usually a part of their breaking speech. Shadows will usually ramble about what they, and by extension their other selves, really want.
* ShadowArchetype: In full Jungian psychology, the Shadows are the part of ourselves we try to hide from the rest of the world. To deny them only gives them greater power. Accepting them as a part of ourselves allows us to begin improving.

!!Maya Okamura
[[quoteright:126:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/okamura_p2_2733.jpg]]
Lisa Silverman's homeroom teacher, nicknamed "Ideal-sensei" by her students due to her [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentricities]]. She used to work alongside Jun's father, Akinari Kashihara. Okamura harbored an unrequited love for him, and resented his wife, Junko. She was a collaborator on Kashihara's unreleased book, which prophesied the signs leading up to the [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt end of days]]; among these portents was the return of Adolf Hitler and his "[[{{Ghostapo}} Last Battalion]]". Kashihara later met a suspicious death when he fell inside the Seven Sisters clock tower and was crushed by the gears.
Okamura stations herself at the Kuzunoha Detective Agency, where she assists in shedding light on Mr. Kashihara's research on the Last Battalion. As the portents of the book start becoming true, Okamura loses her mind and decides to expedite the catastrophe. The final portent is the death of a woman named "Maya". Okamura is initially willing to sacrifice herself, but is instead approached by Nyarlathotep. At the conclusion of the game, [[spoiler:Okamura materializes and impales Maya Amano with [[TheLanceOfLonginus the Spear of Longinus]]. Philemon intervenes by rewinding time and negating Maya's death, thus creating the ''Eternal Punishment'' timeline]].
Okamura appears during the main story in ''Eternal Punishment'' only once: she is standing in the school courtyard during the game's introduction. If Maya speaks with her, she will sense that they have met before.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited
* [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's Spear]]
* ConspiracyTheorist: Mayans! Hitler! ALIENS! She's the queen of this trope. Her persecution complex and subsequent spiraling into madness is a depressingly valid depiction of many paranoids today.
* FaceHeelTurn
* HaveWeMetYet: In ''Eternal Punishment'', the player has the option of speaking with Okamura (while controlling Maya) in Seven Sister High School's courtyard. Both mention that the other looks familiar...
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Par excellence.
* MadnessMakeover: Once she really goes off the deep end, her ponytail unfolds into a wacked-out blossom of hair, and her normally composed face is replaced with [[SlasherSmile an evil grin]].
* [[MrExposition Miss Exposition]]
* ProperlyParanoid: Regardless of cosmic meddling, everything Kashihara put to paper has come to pass.
* SanitySlippage
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: A maiden with the name "Maya" is prophesied as a harbinger of the Apocalypse. In the depths of her insanity, Okamura is prepared to die to fulfill that role. [[spoiler:However, nobody figured on it being Maya ''Amano'']].
* SinisterShades
* TeamKiller: Nyarlathotep using her as a convenient pawn to stab [[spoiler:Maya Amano]] with TheLanceOfLonginus and kill her.
* WildMassGuessing: So ''who'' killed Kashihara, again? Okamura says the Last Battalion did it, [[UnreliableNarrator but]][[IfICantHaveYou ...]]
* WomanInBlack
* UnwittingPawn: The Sensei is the opposite number to Maya Amano, having been tapped by Nyarlathotep to help nail down humanity's coffin good and tight. Her avatar in the ''Eternal Punishment'' timeline is Foreign Minister Sudou, an Illuminati stooge.
* {{Yandere}}: To a dead man, no less.
!!Principal Harding/Hanya
[[quoteright:169:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2hanya_9384.jpg]]
The principal of the Seven Sisters High School, and previously the vice principal of St. Hermelin in the first game. Tatsuya Suou's party battles Principal Hanya on top of the clock tower after destroying the smaller clocks in the school classrooms in Innocent Sin. He dies afterwards, but when you meet a student who asks how he's doing, you can either tell the truth, or spread the rumor that he's alive. If you choose the latter, Principal Hanya will reemerge later in the game and repel the invasion of Hitler's Last Battalion on his own. Otherwise, the St. Hermelin alumni will do the job.
In ''Eternal Punishment'', he is still a hated principal, and is immediately killed when Noriko Katayama performs the Joker Curse on him for insulting Anna Yoshizaka, who can no longer represent Sevens in the regional track meet because of a permanent injury caused by a hit-and-run accident.
* AssholeVictim
* BackFromTheDead
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Upon being defeated, he leaps off of the clock tower to certain death. Sort of.
* CardCarryingVillain: Hanya is an unofficial (but enthusiastic) member of the Masked Circle, an affiliation he barely tries to conceal. In his introductory scene, he makes guarded threats against Tatsuya's life and chortles at his misfortune. He does not possess even one redeeming trait.
* DeanBitterman: With the curse in effect, he can say or do anything and the students will still think he's peachy-keen. He abuses this to the hilt.
* DestinationDefenestration: After you defeat him, he jumps through the stained-glass face of the Sevens Clock.
* FascinatingEyebrow
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Hanya has a comical Blofeld scar under his eye.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: If the player chooses, Hanya can be resurrected via a rumor and return to help liberate Sevens from the Nazis. He undergoes a nice attitude adjustment, too.
* LaserGuidedKarma: In ''Innocent Sin'', Principal Hanya and Joker are in cahoots. He's murdered by JOKER within the first 20 minutes of ''Eternal Punishment''.
* MeaningfulName: His nickname is "Hannya", a demon in Japanese literature. Guess what his Persona is?
* MundaneWish: Hanya admits to performing the Joker Charm to restore his thinning hairline.
* NoOneCouldHaveSurvivedThat
* OffscreenTeleportation: Coming back to life has the added effect of turning Hanya CrazyAwesome. He keeps warping between classrooms, standing over a pile of unconscious Nazis each time.
* OurFounder: His statue in the school courtyard starts moving on its own accord. (That is one ''crazy'' school.)
* [[SadistTeacher Sadist Principal]]
* SlasherSmile: Permanently etched onto his face.
* StartToCorpse: In ''EP'', he's the JOKER's only onscreen victim. The school transforms into a dungeon upon discovering of his corpse, whereupon the real game starts.
* StarterVillain
* ThisIsADrill: His Persona comes equipped with two of them.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Thanks to a well-placed rumor, nearly every student thinks he's the greatest thing since ice cream. "He's annoying and fussy and [[NotHelpingYourCase a great guy]]."
* WarmupBoss
!!Yasuo Inoe
A student who hangs out on the rooftop of Kasugayama High School, discontented with the current system and wishes to become Student Body President to implement his desired changes. In Innocent Sin, Yasuo uses the Joker Charm to make his ambition a reality. He was responsible for spreading the rumor that the Seven Sisters High School Emblem was cursed, and collaborated with Lady Scorpio to collect Ideal Energy at Kasugayama High's dance party. He is fought as a boss, and dies at the hands of King Leo upon failing. In ''Eternal Punishment'', Yasuo is still alive, and is back to being a discontented Student Body Presidential wannabe.
* AllElectionsAreSeriousBusiness: His incentive for joining The Masked Circle.
* AsianAndNerdy
* ClimbingClimax: Eikichi (finally) corners him on the school's roof.
* DirtyCoward: Through clever use of a walkie-talkie, he traps the party inside the school's bomb shelter. Which ordinarily isn't a big deal... except rumors have transformed it into an [[EldritchLocation endless maze]].
* ForeheadOfDoom
* StudentCouncilPresident: Yasuo can only compete in a fixed election, as evidenced in ''Eternal Punishment''.
!!Hiroki Sugimoto
A second-year student at Kasugayama High. Ever since Eikichi beat him up in middle school, he's hated Eikichi and wanted to defeat him, jealous of his power and clout as the school leader. He uses the Joker Charm so he can become stronger, spreads the rumor that the Head is stronger than Captain Death, and even kidnapped Miyabi. Eikichi relinquishes his position as Captain Death, creating a loophole that allows him to defeat Sugimoto. In ''Eternal Punishment'', he is kidnapped and drained of Kegare at the Science Lab in Kei Nanjo's route. Maya's party runs into Eikichi, who was trying to save Sugimoto as per his role as the school leader. They later find Sugimoto, who was turned into a monster. Kei and the party try their best to subdue Sugimoto without killing him, and assures Eikichi that the Nanjo Group will pull out all the stops to turn his classmate back to normal.
* BalefulPolymorph: In ''Eternal Punishment'', he's captured and experimented on by Kandori in the Science Lab.
* DontYouDarePityMe
* EvilRedhead
* GoodHairEvilHair: Has the beginnings of a dark goatee.
* FeetOfClay: Assuming the player lets Eikichi handle him on his own, one punch will put Sugimoto in his place.
* HotBlooded
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He's absolutely obsessed with beating Eikichi. This fixation extends to his mutated form. "EIKICHIIIIII!!"
* PsychoticSmirk: Glued to his face.
* RevengeBeforeReason

[[folder:The Last Battalion]]
!!The Knights of the Holy Lance
The Order of the Holy Lance is the elite force of the Last Battalion, consisting of thirteen "Longinus" robots charged with eliminating enemy Persona-users. Despite being identical in appearance, each Longinus robot has a distinct voice and personality. True to their namesake, each Knight comes armed with a copy of the Spear of Destiny.
* AntiMagic: Their spears are capable of sealing Personas.
* CapeBusters
* DamageSpongeBoss: Can take astounding amounts of punishment.
* EvilGloating: If you pay attention to it, you'll notice that they know far more about you than they should be able to, [[spoiler:foreshadowing the true nature of their Fuhrer]].
* GratuitousGerman: [[CallingYourAttacks Announces their different attacks]] by shouting stock German phrases like "Feuer!" and "Guten Nacht!".
** Made even more ridiculous with the English dub, where some of their voice actors don't even attempt to pull of a German accent for the voiced dialogue.
* {{Magitek}}: How robots without Personas are capable of using spells, we'll never know.
* MoreDakka: Armed with MG-32 machine guns.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Ostensibly based on Heinrich Himmler and his twelve Lieutenants
* RecurringBoss: Over the second half of the game you fight every single Longinus, usually in groups of three or four. The first encounter with them teams you up with a single party member against a single Longinus, however. Your party defeats the other two offscreen.
** [[DuelBoss You also get the option of facing one all by yourself.]]
* ShockAndAwe: Their trademark "Geistesblitz" attack.
* StupidJetpackHitler
* YouAreNumberSix: They refer to each other by their numbers (the German numbers, of course). However, they are also clearly individuals.
* YouFool: When defeated, each robot leaves you with a bitter "You know ''nothing''!"
!!The Fuhrer
The leader of the Last Batallion. An infamous German dictator who started a [[WorldWarII world war]] that would be the scene of multiple atrocities. Thought to have comitted suicide at the end of the war, he is ressurrected by a conspiracy theory that claims he survived, spirited away to Antarctica by his loyal robot batallion. As such, he shows up midway through the game to compete with the Masked Circle for control over the Crystal Skulls and Xibalba. What? No, he definitely isn't ''that'' [[AdolfHitler infamous German dictator]] (Not in the version of the game that was released outside of Japan, in any case). [[spoiler: Eventually it turns out that he isn't human at all- he's Nyarlathotep in disguise.]]
* ArtifactOfDoom: Carries the true Spear of Destiny, as he is keen on reminding you.
* BadassBoast: ''"If you want answers, you must defeat me. But know that this [[ArtifactOfDoom Spear of Destiny]] and the power of [[BigBad Nyarlathotep]] are very real..."''
* FamilyValuesVillain: The only time he reprimands you is when Jun refers to his father as a "monster".
* {{Ghostapo}}: While his robots fall under the StupidJetpackHitler category, the Fuhrer himself packs a persona and some pretty impressive supernatural powers.
* GodwinsLaw: Obligatory, given who he is in the PSX version.
* GracefulLoser: Compliments you throughout his boss fight. His damage emote is "You're good!" rather than the usual grunt of pain, and when he is defeated, he mutters "Amazing..."
* GratuitousGerman: In the English version, as is to be expected.
* HolyHandGrenade: His Holy Ark attack.
--> '''Fuhrer:''' ''This is God's punishment!''
* NoSell: His Holy Grail move grants him full invincibility for a two turns
* OneHitKill: His Omega Cluster and Holy Ark moves can inflict this on party members.
* PaperThinDisguise: The localization team "censored" [[AdolfHitler one of history's most infamous war criminals]] by:
** Slapping a pair of CoolShades and a BadassLongcoat on him.
** [[NoSwastikas Replacing all swastikas with Iron Crosses (and replacing the swastika battlefield in his boss battle with]] [[AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield a circle of glowing glyphs in a blue void]]).
** Changing his name to [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep "The Fuhrer"]].
* PowerFloats
* ShockAndAwe: His "Vril-Blitz" attack, an upgraded version of the "Geistesblitz" move used by the Longinus Robots.
* ShoutOut: Some of the attacks he invokes are awfully similar to artifacts sought by both ThoseWackyNazis and [[Franchise/IndianaJones a certain whip-wielding archeologist]].
* SlasherSmile: Pictured with one. The sunglasses in the localized version makes it much more cocky than threatening.
* SquishyWizard: Posesses powerful attacks, but has very low health for being the penultimate boss of the game. [[TheBattleDidntCount Then again...]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Believes that the masses want to be ruled in fear of a dictator that relieves them of the burden of making descisions.
* WorthyOpponent: Seems awfully interested in fighting you for some reason.

[[folder:New World Order]]
!!Tatsuzou Sudou
[[quoteright:162:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p2tatsuzousudou_4652.jpg]]
Father of Tatsuya Sudou, aka King Leo, he is briefly referenced in ''Innocent Sin'' before being revealed as the head of the [[TheIlluminati New World Order]] in ''Eternal Punishment''. He is estranged from his son, whom he confined to a mental hospital as a child. Tatsuzou is Japan's Foreign Minister, and is secretly head of a governmental conspiracy to create a world without original sin. Tatsuzou is unaware of the fact that he, like his son, is being manipulated by Nyarlathotep.
* AffablyEvil
* BodyHorror: Nyarlathotep's energy mutates him into a demon before you fight him.
* CoolShip: Has his own cruise ship, the ''Nichirin-maru''.
* DarkMessiah
* EvilOldFolks
* TheGhost: Referenced -- but never seen -- in the first game.
* HotbloodedSideburns
* IHaveNoSon: Imprisoned his psychopathic son inside a sanitarium. And if Tatsuzou had had his way, junior would've ''stayed'' there.
* TheIlluminati: The highest echelons of government are part of his organization.
* ManInWhite
* MisanthropeSupreme
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He's evaded every criminal investigation come his way, and seems to have the Taiwanese mafia on speed dial.
* SleazyPolitician
* SwordCane: He's just a docile old man with a limp... until he breaks out the sword and slaughters his cohorts.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity
* UnwittingPawn: Of Nyarlathotep.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans
!!Kiyotada Sumaru
The mummified remains of a feudal warlord who established what is now Sumaru City. Thanks to Nyarlathotep's influence, Tatsuzou Sudou was able to reanimate him with rumors. Sumaru's remains are the centerpiece of the New World Order, communicating to its members via {{Telepathy}}. Once the Monado Mandala has risen, Sumaru's castle is mystically unearthed and towers over the entire city.
* BackFromTheDead
* BadassMustache: Still impressive, even if the rest of him is in poor shape.
* ClippedWingAngel: It is possible to kill Sumaru in one hit if the right conditions are met. Summoning the three Ancestral Personas during the battle for a Fusion Attack will defeat him instantly. This is explained in-game by the Personas being the spirits of a samurai who originally toppled Sumaru, his princess, and their retainer. It's also a case of GuideDangIt, so whether this is worth all the trouble is subjective.
* EvilOverlord
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Sumaru Castle.
* FeudalFuture: His ultimate goal.
* {{Mummy}}
!!Guido/Takahisa Kandori
[[quoteright:180:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kandori_p2_6154.jpg]]
The former antagonist of the original ''Persona'', who has been resurrected due to rumors. He unquestioningly serves the New World Order, but seems to be following his own agenda. During the events of ''Eternal Punishment'', Takahisa Kandori, (now called Guido Kandori in the NA version) is brought back to life through the power of Kototama performed by the NWO. The extensive scars on his body are reminiscent of Tatsuya Suou's marks.
* AntiVillain: Fresh from death and a trip to {{Hell}}, he knows [[BeingEvilSucks evil isn't what it's cracked up to be]].
* {{Badass}}
** BadassInANiceSuit
** TookALevelInBadass: Lost his weakness to guns from the first game and picked up resistances to pretty much everything.
* BackFromTheDead
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Not only do his shades compliment his suit and enhance his evil look, they hide the fact he literally has nothing behind his eyes.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Gets annoyed with Nanjo doing this prior to the boss fight.
* DuelBoss: In the second part of Tatsuya's scenario.
* FourEyesZeroSoul
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor
* HijackedByGanon: He's in an ideal position to be this, and Chizuru outright wants him to be one. However, [[SubvertedTrope he really doesn't care]] because [[spoiler:he knows his time on Earth is limited and his only real interests are settling things with Nanjo and the Paradox that brought about the events of the game]].
* IHaveManyNames: Thanks to the English translation of the first game. In the Japanese version, he only uses the alias of "Guy Shidou" (Tatsuzou's secretary), but thanks to the localization changes he has his name from the first Persona (retconned as an alias) as well.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Despite his AlasPoorVillain moment in the previous game, he's gone back to his old ways. When confronted on this by Kei, Kandori replies he's [[BecauseImGoodAtIt too old to change now]].
* LoveRedeems: If he's not in love with Chiruzu, he at least cares for her deeply, as evidenced by his final scene.
* MarkOfTheBeast: From what little we see of his skin, it's covered in a dark spiderweb pattern.
* [[spoiler:GoingDownWithTheShip]]: After assisting Nanjo and his friends, Kandori opts to [[spoiler:remain in the collapsing ruins with Chizuru at his side.]]
* UnholyMatrimony: With Chizuru.
* UnwittingPawn: After being brought back, he knows that like Tatsuya, he is just a pawn of Nyarlathotep.
* WorthyOpponent: To Nanjo. Kandori's actually grown quite fond of him in the interim between games.
!!Chizuru Ishigami
Chizuru is a famous fortune teller who uses her show to spread rumors for the NWO. Unlike the other villains, Chiruzu does not use a Persona in combat but creates duplicates of herself to fool her opponents. Eriko Kirishima arrives in Sumaru City investigating her and her connection to the NWO. During a television interview, Junko Kurosu transformed into a Joker and attempts to kill Lisa Silverman.
Afterwards, she joins with the revived Takahisa Kandori and leaves with him for the Undersea Ruins, although she questions why someone like him would be happy serving as simply a pawn for Tatsuzou Sudou. Eventually, she and Kandori are confronted by Maya Amano and her party along with Tatsuya Suou. [[spoiler:They are both defeated, and, despite Nanjo/Eriko's pleading, stay behind in the collapsing Undersea Ruins to die]].
* DarkMistress: To Kandori.
* DoppelgangerAttack
* DragonLady
* {{Familiar}}: She has a number of them, including a black cat.
* FortuneTeller
* FrozenInTime: The trap placed by Chiruzu on the entire Sumaru TV studio.
* KentBrockmanNews: Means by which she employs ReversePsychology on the entire city population.
* KnifeNut
* LoveMartyr: To Kandori. [[spoiler:In the literal sense]].
* UnholyMatrimony: With Kandori.
* WomanInBlack
!!General Sugawara
A top-ranking member of the NWO and commander of the Tenchu Army. Sugawara is wasting away from some unknown malady, which is what motivated him to assist Tatsuzou.
* ArmiesAreEvil: By virtue of simply being self-interested, he's not GeneralRipper material. His men have no compunction about mowing down innocents, though.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor / BlessedWithSuck: See below.
* ExactWords: Tatsuzou promises the terminally-ill General Sugawara that if their plan goes forward, he will be made immortal. He didn't say anything about being an immortal ''person''.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Always has a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
* ImmortalityImmorality
* LovecraftianSuperpower: Tatsuzou keeps his promise, and Sugawara is rendered immortal. He's also a hideous mutation sprouted from a pair of disjointed (if relatively normal) human legs.
* MookLieutenant
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: It's strongly implied that he ''did''.
* PainfulTransformation
* SoapOperaDisease: He looks sickly and pale, but we're left to infer the rest.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Detests Tatsuzou, and is only assisting him out of self-preservation.
!!Captain Togashi
Head of the Kounan police force, and Katsuya's top superior in the department. He, along with other top officials, is a member of the New World Order. Unlike the others, however, he is unable to hear Gozen's voice -- perhaps a sign of his wavering loyalty to them. He once worked alongside Katsuya's father.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Togashi was the one who betrayed Katsya's father, allowing him to take the fall for his crimes]].
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: His attire while serving as an informant. A rather PaperThinDisguise, but still...
* DaChief
* HeelFaceTurn
* MrExposition: The {{Infodump}} he provides is equal to Okamura's in the previous game. That is to say, ''not'' small.
* MysteriousInformant
* [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath: Shot by Shimazu]] shortly after explaining the nature of Gozen and the NWO.
!!Administrator Shimazu
Katusya's direct superior in the Kounan department, and lieutenant to Captain Togashi. He dislikes Katsuya by association, as his father was disgraced and expelled from the force.
* DirtyCop: All-around scumbag.
* EvilCounterpart: To Katsuya.
* ForeheadOfDoom
* GasLeakCoverup: Dismisses the Sanitarium fire as a "gas explosion".
* {{Gonk}}: The dev team couldn't have made him more ornery if they'd tried.
* TheMole: Obstructing the JOKER investigation and feeding information straight to Tatsuzou Sudou himself.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat
* SmugSnake: The English localization even gave him the voice of one.
