!!Takahisa Kandori (Guido Sardenia)
[[quoteright:171:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/guido_p1_9642.png]]

Takahisa Kandori is the de facto[[note]]The actual head is a unseen "President Saeki", but Kandori seems to have seized control from under him without his knowing[[/note]] head of SEBEC, and used the corporation as a front for his developing the Deva System, a machine which would allow him to go into a subject's mind and use it in his quest to become a god. During initial testing, the thoughts of Maki Sonomura somehow came in contact with the system, allowing Kandori to contact her malevolent Id, Aki. Kandori has his men capture Maki, and uses the Deva System to summon demons into the real world, then later escapes into the "other world" when confronted by the heroes. Using his alliance with Aki, Kandori gains control of half of the "other" Mikage-cho, and later tricks the heroes into giving him Mai's compact.

Using her compact with Aki's, Kandori is able to achieve his goal to become a god, summoning the large palace [[DiscOneFinalDungeon Deva Yuga]] into the real world. The MC and the others follow him into the real world and confront him at the top of the Deva Yuga, where Kandori, now grown nihilistic due to his apparent godhood, asks them their reason for living. After the MC gives his answer, Nanjo insults Kandori by calling him weak and cowardly, angering Kandori enough to attack them. When Kandori appears to be defeated, his persona [[TheManBehindTheMan Nyarlathotep]] forcibly enters his body, transforming him into [[OneWingedAngel God Kandori]]. After God Kandori is defeated, Kandori reveals the truth about Maki and the Deva System, then dies.

Kandori, credited as "Masked Boy", has a minor role in the Snow Queen quest, where he appears as one of the Night Queen's allies. He and the Masked Girl (clearly a masked Maki) merge with the Night Queen during her battle with the heroes, but are defeated.

He is [[BackFromtheDead later revived]] by the NWO in ''Persona 2: Eternal Punishment'', serving as the primary focus antagonist if the player takes the Nanjo route. Also, ''Eternal Punishment'' goes the extra mile to make up for the {{Macekre}} of the first game by making his NA name in the first game an alias (which, given all the crap he gets involved in, is a fairly logical thing to have).

* LetsYouAndHimFight: With Monster Teddy Bear. This indicates that you are on the route to the [[MultipleEndings bad ending.]]
* ThirdPersonPerson: In the Japanese version.
----

!!Kazuya Todou

A character exclusive to the manga. Naoya's older twin brother.

[[spoiler:He's actually the embodiment of Naoya's guilt over the death of his brother. When Naoya got sick, Kazuya went out to buy a manga to cheer him up, but got hit by a car and died.]]
----
* CanonForeigner
* EnemyWithout
* EvilTwin
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: His ear isn't pierced.
* TheInfiltration: [[spoiler:His first appearance. He pretends to be Naoya and infiltrates the party while the real Naoya is being held up.]]
----

!!Pandora

The TrueFinalBoss of the SEBEC route. [[spoiler:She is the embodiment of Maki's nihilism. After the death of Kandori, Aki awakens Pandora in an attempt to use her against the party, but is eaten, causing her half of Maki's dream world to disappear. Pandora then steals the core unit of the DEVA System and prepares to use it to destroy everything, but is defeated by the party and is accepted by the Ideal Maki.]]
----
* BarrierChangeBoss: Her second form can change from focusing on (and being strong against) physical attacks but being weak to magic and vice versa.
* BishonenLine: Her second form crosses it.
* ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: In more ways than one. During the boss fight, she starts as a caterpillar and metamorphoses into a butterfly.
* EldritchAbomination: Her cocoon phase is a jumbled mess of fused bodies, with six legs that are actually human arms, a head that's clearly a butt and legs, and a phallic Maki rising out its chest.
* KaleidoscopeHair: See BarrierChangeBoss above. If her hair is red, she's weak to physical attacks and strong to magic. If it's blue, it's the opposite.
* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: In the manga, after [[spoiler:absorbing the Ideal Maki]], she goes from shoulder-length to RapunzelHair.
* SequentialBoss
* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:To Maki, specifically, the lively and optimistic Ideal Maki. It'd be no stretch to say that Pandora was the prototype to all future shadows in the Persona series.]]
* TrueFinalBoss
* WingedHumanoid: Her second form.

[[folder:Antagonists -- Snow Queen Route]]

!!Kumi Hirose

One of the previous Snow Queen victims. Under the pressure from the strains of both the Drama Club and from her father, she listened to the Snow Queen mask and killed herself. After the Snow Queen possessed Ms. Saeko, Kumi was resurrected as the guardian of the Hypnos Tower. There she was freed from all pain and had no intention of leaving until her Persona, Hypnos, was defeated by the party.
----
* AscendedExtra: In the manga. She's the only Guardian who gets her entire backstory exposed. In fact, Michiko does not even appear and Yuriko has only a small cameo in one panel. Heck, she has more scenes than the Night Queen!
* DragonInChief: Not her, but Hypnos is a lot more independent then most Personas, speaking out loud and fighting independently of Kumi.
* DrivenToSuicide
* [[EducationMama Education Papa]]: One of her stressers.
* [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Woobie Hider From Worlds]]: To be fair, she was putting up with a lot of crap. Her method of hiding from it doesn't work though. Yukino admits post-boss fight that she wasn't all that bad.
----

!!Michiko Matsudaira

One of the previous Snow Queen victims. Feeling that she was bullied and ignored, she listened to the Snow Queen Mask and killed herself for power. After the Snow Queen possessed Ms. Saeko, Michiko was resurrected as the guardian of Nemesis Tower. Using her power, she trapped Toro and Tsutomu in the tower in order to set up a trick for the group. Her Persona is Nemesis.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: [[UnreliableNarrator Maybe]].
* EmotionEater: She gains power from the negative emotions of people she tortures. If you go after her quickly, all she'll feel is [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship and gratitude]].
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: If you go for the friend choice in the decision below.
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Inflicts one. A Mirror Shard could be found along with a hint to defeat her, but if so, it would delay saving Toro and Tsutomu from their IronicHell. Also note that the longer you delay in the Nemesis Tower, the stronger she gets. [[spoiler:And you get more shards if you save them than if you don't.]]
* HumansAreBastards: Believes that humans care more for their self-preservation than about others.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Getting the Snow Queen role to discredit the Drama Club president (who "stole" her boyfriend) and trying to bribe the teachers to get better grades.
** In fact, she's so self-centered that she's the only guardian who didn't make a HeelFaceTurn after being defeated.
* NoblewomansLaugh
* TheOjou: Of the RoyalBrat variety.
* VillainessesWantHeroes: Was willing to let Brown become her "pet". He firmly rejects.
----

!!Yuriko Yamamoto

One of the previous Snow Queen victims. After coming to the realization that life might not be any better than it was now, she listened to the Snow Queen Mask and killed herself to retain her beauty. After the Snow Queen possessed Ms. Saeko, she was resurrected as the guardian of Thanatos Tower. Her despair from being cut off from her family and friends lead to an immense power she can use to take away the team's Personas and force them to go to Tartarus to get them back. Her Persona is Thanatos.
----
* CuteGhostGirl: She's more like this than the other guardians.
* DemotedToExtra: In the manga, she only appears in ''one panel''.
* EquivalentExchange: Her mantra. "If you want anything in this tower, you must give up something in return."
* HeelRealization: She realizes the error of her ways post-boss fight.
** [[RedemptionEqualsDeath Redemption Equals Not Running Away From Death]]
* KawaiiKo: An extreme case. She died in order to keep her looks.
* SchoolIdol
* TheTrickster: Keeps on stealing your Personas and sealing them in Tartarus as part of a game. Since Tartarus is where she keeps most of her Mirror Shards, it isn't nearly as annoying as it could be.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Offers everyone the chance to retain their beauty by killing themselves to be with her. Doesn't fly.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever
----

!!Tomomi Fujimori

The spirit within the Snow Queen Mask. She gained the role of the Snow Queen in Saeko's time. However, she let the rumor that Saeko only declined the part because of the curse go to her head and listened to the mask; once she put it on, it burned her face. She comes back for revenge on Saeko.
----
* DiscOneFinalBoss
* DemonicPossession
* FacialHorror: She looks like [[ComicBook/TwoFace Two-Face]]!
* GreenEyedMonster
* HeelRealization
** HeelFaceTurn: Resulting from above.
* LargeHam: At least [[EvilIsHammy when possesed.]] [[IncomingHam WHHHHHYYYY DOES EVERYONE LISTEN TO SAEKOOOOOO?!]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Saeko. Onesided on her part, because Saeko still cares for her.
