[THIS ROLE WILL BE PLAYED BY THE SAME ACTOR AS MASAYOSHI SHIDO.]

Yaldabaoth (also known as the Demiurge or, in the case of this project, Yaldy) is a demon in the Shin Megami Tensei series that makes an appearance in a total of 10 SMT/Persona games, usually as the final boss or a final boss equivalent. In the case of our show, Yaldabaoth is the main antagonist of the entire first act of the story, pulling the strings from behind the scenes from the very beginning. Yaldabaoth, the "God of Control," is a malevolent god made manifest from humanity's distorted desires of sloth and the true master of Mementos, manifested two years prior to the events of Persona 5. Before the events of the game, he imprisons Igor in Mementos and impersonates him, then splits Lavenza into Caroline and Justine and (somehow) prevents them from fusing back. As a result, the Velvet Room also became a part of Mementos and a Quarantine Cell hosting Ren/Joker, also known as the "most dangerous prisoner" that none dare approach. Once his ruse as Igor is exposed by the protagonist and a newly-reformed Lavenza later down the line, Yaldy reveals himself to be a power-hungry, self-righteous godly being with a tendency to manipulate humanity to prove his point, claiming that the only way out from ruin is for him to bring forth salvation by taking control of existence itself and removing everyone with chaos in their hearts from it, since he believes that humanity will only regress itself to ruin by abusing their freedom in sheer ignorance.
