   The Dark Hour is a phenomenon that occurs in Persona 3. The Dark Hour occurs for an hour every night as a time anomaly that takes place during 12:00 AM, and serves as the 25th hour hidden between one day and the next. As the phenomenon takes place, non-Persona users are transmogrified into coffins and remember nothing that happens during the Dark Hour once they awaken. Because of this, the general public is unaware of its existence.

   It is not clarified what the range of the Dark Hour is and whether or not it appears outside of Japan as a worldwide phenomenon, or if it is exclusive to the timezone of Port Island, though it still appears at Yakushima. If it is a global phenomenon, then it can be assumed that it occurs at midnight for every timezone.

   During the Dark Hour, the physical world is totally altered, mostly with respect to atmosphere and color. The buildings, the night sky, as well as the moon would assume a sickly green hue, while bodies of water turn crimson and thicken, resembling blood (or are actually blood), as evidenced by the fountain in Paulownia Mall and the sea seen during the monorail. Red liquid puddles form in random surfaces as well, even if there were no puddles there before. All electrical appliances cease to function unless the equipment is specifically made for use in the Dark Hour, such as those made by the Kirijo Group, like Mitsuru's motorcycle and the instruments in the Iwatodai Dormitory.

   Normal humans transmogrify into coffins and become oblivious to what is happening. Shadows become active during the Dark Hour and attempt to lure humans out of their coffins in order to feed on their psyches, afflicting them with the Apathy Syndrome. If an ordinary human survives the Dark Hour without being attacked by a Shadow, their memories are erased instead.

   Only those with the potential to summon a Persona are able to stay fully active during the Dark Hour and resist Shadow attacks; even if they sleep, their bodies will not transmogrify, and they will retain their memories.

   Those who have the power to summon a Persona are the only ones who can destroy Shadows. They use the Evoker, a device resembling a gun, to summon their Persona, the alter ego or their inner self.

   Apathy Syndrome is a mysterious condition that affects students of Gekkoukan High School and other residents of Tatsumi Port Island. Those suffering from the syndrome suffer from debilitating levels of apathy. When it strikes, the inflicted will collapse in a heap where ever they happen to be and become unable to move, feed or care for themselves. The number of cases grows in correlation with the approach of the full moon, when a Shadow makes an appearance somewhere in the city. The cases quickly decrease each time a Shadow is defeated, only to slowly rise again as the next full moon approaches. People affected by the Apathy Syndrome are called "the Lost" by the inhabitants of Tatsumi Port Island.

   It is later explained that Apathy Syndrome is a result of having one's psyche eaten by Shadows. Due to having their soul taken away, the victims are reduced to a vegetative state. It is implied that when a psyche is stolen, it somehow ends up with the boss Shadow that will appear during the following Full Moon (either due to that specific Shadow having eaten them itself or by the lesser Shadows eating the psyches and bringing them to the boss Shadow), because following the destruction of each Full Moon Shadow by SEES, the number of the Lost decreases dramatically.

   As it turns out, the Lost are the earliest manifestations of the Fall, an event where all of mankind will forfeit their will to live. Each Full Moon Shadow was a piece of Death (a being created by Nyx, that would later become one with its creator), and so their collection of psyches was their method of facilitating the Fall.

   Tartarus is a massive tower that mysteriously appears each night at Gekkoukan High School during the Dark Hour. SEES is formed in an attempt to discover the true nature of the tower and defeat the Shadows.

   Because it "grows" out of the ground every night, the layout of the tower is assembled randomly, except for certain key floors that never change. The tower consists of 6 blocks divided into subsections, at the end of which there are Arcana Guardians blocking the path to the next subsection. The aforementioned subsection divisions also have controllable teleport terminals that allows one to access the lobby and other previously unlocked subsection terminals in an instant unlike the one-way teleport devices found in random floors.

   The stairs that connect to the next block will be totally inaccessible until the corresponding Major Shadow is defeated during each full moon phase, making it impossible to reach the top in one attempt.

   There are 264 floors in total, including the roof.

   Shadows are the primary type of enemy. They are born from humans and carry with them human emotions, most of which are negative. Strong-willed Shadows attract lesser ones, which can combine into stronger Shadows.

   The Kirijo Group's discovery of the Shadows' existence and subsequent experiments on manipulating them, ostensibly as a power source and means of time manipulation, resulted in a catastrophic accident at their laboratories, killing hundreds. They have been appearing due to the Kirijo Group's experiments, during the Dark Hour, a hidden twenty-fifth hour that takes place every midnight, during which the world comes to a stop and humans reflexively contain themselves in coffins, obliviously "playing dead" to protect themselves from the attention of the Shadows. Occasionally, a human will not transmogrify in this manner, and will quickly become prey of the Shadows, having their minds devoured and becoming vegetative (Apathy Syndrome) and in some cases even become a shadow as their physical form dissolves, reducing themself to being a shadow. Only those with Personas, even if they can't be successfully summoned, are immune to this effect and function normally during the Dark Hour.

   The bulk of the Shadows dwell in Tartarus, a massive tower that appears during the Dark Hour, right atop Gekkoukan High School, the site of the previous accident. Each Shadow is defined by two characteristics: the body and the mask. The mask represents the Arcana of the Shadow, while the body helps define its name. These two attributes also aid as a visual reminder of an enemy's weaknesses and strengths. However, each full moon after Makoto Yuki's arrival, powerful Shadows belonging to the first twelve major arcana appear outside Tartarus and threaten to wreak havoc. The Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad is formed to combat these enemies. Once they're defeated, a thirteenth Shadow of the Death arcana appears as an ordinary, carefree teenage boy calling himself Ryoji Mochizuki. However, it's his role to call down Nyx, a being who will exterminate all life in response to humanity's self-destructive desires, but his human side is wracked with guilt over this unavoidable fate.

   The Old Documents say that the Shadows arise from human emotions. When enough of the Shadows were gathered in one place, they fused together and created Nyx Avatar, which set in motion the events which were to lead up to the The Fall. Aigis delayed the Fall by fracturing Death into the 12 Arcana.

Igor mentions that a long time has passed since he had a visitor. The other denizens are now gone, however, Igor has a new assistant named Elizabeth.

   Igor is no longer seen with the phone but he still handles Persona fusion through the use of cards. Additionally, Nameless, Belladonna and the Demon Painter are absent. Instead, Igor is accompanied by an assistant named Elizabeth. Only Makoto Yuki can enter the Velvet Room.

   Igor has the appearance of a bizarre old man with a long nose, pointed ears and bulging, bloodshot eyes. He wears a black suit, white gloves, white or black socks and black shoes. He appears to be quite tall when fully stood up and is almost skeletally thin.

   Igor has played the role of Proprietor of the Velvet Room, a space between dream and reality, mind and matter. As the proprietor, Igor provides insight to Makoto Yuki regarding their powers, emotional bonds, and possible dangers that await them in their journey. Igor also provides the vital services of Persona fusion, which allows the creation of vastly more powerful Personas from preexisting ones and the use of the Persona Compendium, which allows previously created and/or acquired Personas to be recalled at a later time.

   Despite his rather striking appearance, Igor bears a calm and courteous demeanor while speaking with Makoto Yuki. Though the well-being of Makoto Yuki is important to him, he reserves the disclosure of certain information for more "timely" points in the story. During conversations concerning Makoto Yuki’s actions, Igor opts for rather cryptic comments that tend to foreshadow coming events and possibly the outcome of the story as a whole, regardless of whether or not those comments are at the time understood (which may be his intent). This suggests that Igor may have near-omniscience, though by his own admission, there are things that even he can't foresee. Additionally, he also takes a neutral stance himself, and almost never directly interferes or gives obvious warnings to any people or anything that he had a contract with.

   Elizabeth is cheery, inquisitive, friendly, silly, humorous, easily excited and fun-loving. She serves Igor and takes responsibility of her duty in the Velvet Room. Elizabeth's tendencies to act on impulse and to not take dangerous things and situations seriously often results in either baffling or even enraging (often the enemy) those involved in the crisis with her surprisingly cool demeanor.

   Elizabeth is the assistant of Igor, the proprietor of the Velvet Room. While Igor is responsible for the Persona fusions, Elizabeth handles the Persona Compendium, which allows Makoto Yuki to keep track of his fused personas and re-summon them.

    Its original leader, Kouetsu Kirijo, originally wanted used his research with Shadows to benefit humanity. However, after learning about Nyx and The Fall, he eventually became consumed with the idea of bringing about The Fall to annihilate humanity, going insane in the process. This would lead to the creation of the Dark Hour and a giant tower known as Tartarus. His plans ultimately did not fully come to fruition, however, as one of the scientists, Eiichiro Takeba, did not support the idea of using Shadows to bring about the end of the world. As a final resort, he interrupted the experiment and caused Death to fracture into thirteen pieces, causing a massive explosion that destroyed the laboratory and killing Kouetsu and several researchers in the process. As a cover-up for the incident, Gekkoukan High School was built on top of the site where the experiment took place, but Tartarus still supplants it at the end of each day when the Dark Hour phenomenon takes place. The Kirijo Group maintains control over the school (allowing Mitsuru to do things that would otherwise breach her position as a student council president such as allowing Aigis to enroll despite being a robot that supposedly cannot go to school), and a statue bearing their motto is located in the lobby of the school.

    The Kirijo Group created Evokers to aid with the summoning of a Persona, and they created a series of Anti-Shadow Weapons such as Aigis.

Because of the wealth of the Kirijo Group, the desperate situation humanity is in due to Shadows escaping from Tartarus, and the limited Persona Users that can fight back against them, the members of the dorm are given a lot of room and space. The dorm also has a command room with technology that can function in the Dark Hour to monitor Shadow locations. There are cameras throughout the dorm, and oddly enough, in SEES' individual bedrooms.

    The origin of the apocalyptic event began 10 years ago prior to current events. The acting leader of the Kirijo Group and Mitsuru Kirijo's grandfather, Kouetsu Kirijo was originally an altruistic man who initiated research on Shadows, studying their true nature in hopes of finding a way to utilize their power and create a time manipulation device. Instead, he and his scientists discovered the prophecy of the Fall, so they began a new project to gather shadows to summon powerful beings that would "save" humanity by obliterating them. Most of the scientists embraced the insane idea and managed to summon an entity known as Death, which would summon and awaken Nyx and destroy humanity. However, there were scientists who opposed the project. One such people was a lead scientist called Eiichiro Takeba, who separated Death into thirteen distinct Shadows and recorded a warning telling anyone not to hunt down and kill the rampaging Shadows. Said recording was later doctored by Shuji Ikutsuki and used in his favor. These entities would later go berserk, destroying the facilities, killed most of the scientists (including Mr. Takeba and grandfather Kirijo) and created the phenomena of the Dark Hour. To cover up for the incident, Gekkoukan High School was built on top of the experimental site, which would transform into Tartarus during the Dark Hour where anyone who stayed within the school for too much time will be trapped and likely killed off by hostile Shadows.

    Death was eventually sealed within a young child by Aigis, and due to it being unable to reunite with the other Twelve Shadows roaming in the Dark Hour because of Makoto Yuki moving out of Tatsumi Port Island, it remained dormant. When Makoto Yuki returns to the Island city, the Shadows became active again.

    To counter this threat, Shuji Ikutsuki supposedly leads the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad into hunting the Twelve Arcana Shadows so they cannot reunite. In actuality, hunting the Shadows causes them to reunite into Death and Ikutsuki is actually tricking SEES into fulfilling the prophecy so he can rule over the remains of the world as a god.

    In order to summon a Persona, one must use an Evoker, though there are some cases where an Evoker is not required for summoning. A Persona can actually be artificially created, but because the Persona does not come naturally to its artificial user, it becomes violent and difficult to control; if the Persona-user isn't strong enough to hold back the Persona, it may even wind up killing the host. Artificial Personas can be suppressed by certain drugs, called Suppressors, but use of the drugs causes fatal side-effects. It's possible for one to have the power of the Wild Card, meaning that multiple Personas can be contained simultaneously. The only two seen capable of this power is Makoto Yuki.

    A Persona is similar to a Shadow. Shadows are malevolent manifestations of one's inner thoughts, while a Persona is a manifestation of the same feelings but tamed and trained.

    A fight using Personas weighs on the user's mind and spirit. Continuous use of a Persona will eventually drain the user's strength and stamina. Using Persona skills requires "SP," or "Spirit Points."

Their advisor is Shuji Ikutsuki and Mitsuru Kirijo functions as the club leader. Makoto Yuki ends up leading the club in many instances due to their unique abilities. Other than Ikutsuki, all the members of SEES are Persona users. Additionally, all the members are students at Gekkoukan, other than Ken Amada and Koromaru, though Shinjiro Aragaki is on an extended leave of absence due to guilt over killing Ken's mother. After school, they stay at a Iwatodai Dormitory.

    Ikutsuki is a bespectacled, middle-aged man with dark brown eyes, long wavy brown hair and a goatee. He wears a tan jacket over his brown turtleneck.

    Ikutsuki, as the adviser of SEES, is a polite and sophisticated man, never needing to change his tone or manner. He is friendly, always accompanied with a gentle smile and a set of bad puns and unfunny jokes to provide comedy relief when it is needed, and perhaps not needed. As seen in the video recordings, he may also sometimes write down some puns on his status reports even if they are unwarranted or unrelated to the subject. Ikutsuki knows more than he lets on, but nonetheless he is the main source of knowledge for the group regarding all things related to the Dark Hour and thus acts as guidance for SEES.

    That being said, in spite of his friendly and welcoming personality, he is unable to properly assimilate into the rest of the group, maintaining an underlying distance that leaves his relations with the others to be civil and nothing more.

    After the defeat of the twelve Shadows, he shows a very different side of him to the party at the entrance of Tartarus. He was actually a manipulative, nihilistic and omnicidal maniac with a twisted savior complex, bearing a complete lack of remorse for the sake of complete and utter world annihilation through supernatural means. He is in fact, far from the chairman SEES knew, something Aigis comments on if asked by the protagonist.

    Unlike the members of Strega who genuinely believe that they will be saved from their suffering and depression when Nyx kills them alongside the rest of humanity, Ikutsuki only wants Nyx to obliterate them just so he could be one of the few survivors and become a god.

    The members of Strega are artificial Persona users created by the Kirijo Group. They were picked up off the street and used as fodder for the company's experiments. Because their Personas were not awakened naturally, they must take suppressants supplied by Shuji Ikutsuki. The drugs keep their Personas from killing them, but have lethal side-effects. Out of the original hundred kids Kirijo used, only the three children that would later form Strega survived.

    As a means to escape the pain of their inevitable death, the three would adopt a worldview where they would give up on their futures and live purely for the current moment. The philosophy was inspired and spread among its members by Takaya Sakaki, who served as the group’s leader.

    Strega would become a group of three rogue Persona users who use the Dark Hour for their own personal benefits. They set up an internet website run by Jin Shirato called "Revenge Request" where users can contract Strega to commit assassinations and other illegal activities, which the three carry out during the Dark Hour as they remove the protection of the coffins which allows them to do whatever they want with their victim.

    When they first discover SEES during the Dark Hour, they attempt to learn of their goals by spying on them. Finding out that SEES aims to rid the Dark Hour which Strega relies on, under the premise that they will lose their persona powers, Strega attempted to disrupt SEES' Full Moon Operations multiple times

    Takaya has long gray or platinum blond wavy hair and yellow eyes. It is unknown why he has yellow eyes, but yellow eyes are often depicted to be the mark of a Persona user or Shadow Self.

    He wears a wire like headband, faded and torn light blue jeans with a red, ragged scarf tucked in the back pocket, a studded white belt and brown boots. He has full tattoo sleeves on both arms and a small tattoo on his lower back. He is never seen wearing a shirt, jacket, vest or anything of the sorts. He also looks rather emaciated.

    Having been forced to face utterly horrible experimentation from a young age without first having found meaning in life, Takaya would grow to become a nihilistic and insane man, with the only qualm to his suffering being that the end is "salvation." He's also "learned" that there's no such thing as hope for the future, and the person can only be sated by living in the present. Takaya would romanticise his bloodlust; not only would he have no remorse for his actions, he would see no abnormality in it to begin with, viewing it as part of his daily life.

    He is especially obsessed with the factor of "destiny" and the severe effects its had on his way of life, even commenting that he and SEES are destined to be in opposition. Even if completely determined in his ways, Takaya is self-aware of his state of affairs, knowing that one cannot face death without first finding meaning in life; he cannot find any as he's stuck living in solitude. Meanwhile, he's still oblivious to the optimistic, determined and unified vigor of SEES, claiming them to be "odd." Takaya isn't afraid of death itself, and even then he refrains from telling the group further about his experiences.

    Hypnos is Takaya Sakaki's artificially summoned Persona, born from the experiments performed by the Kirijo Group. Because he was not awakened naturally, Hypnos is not stable and is liable to attempt to kill Takaya, forcing Takaya to take Persona Suppressors to keep him under control. Surprisingly enough, Takaya is able to summon Hypnos without the aid of an Evoker. Hypnos appears as a disfigured body held in the air by wings seemingly grafted into his spine.

Outside of that, she wears white style-like fabric collar with a black ribbon, a white long gothic lolita dress, white stockings and high heeled shoes. When she is hospitalized, she wears a normal hospital garb. Although she is never seen without her headband, collar and ribbons, the dagger on her headband is removed when she is hospitalized.

    Chidori's personality is like a "gothic-lolita." She has a very soft-sounding voice and loves to draw. Chidori believes that only she can understand her own sketches. She fears attachment because she is afraid of loss and the pain that comes with it. Without a strong reason to live, Chidori is similar to Makoto Yuki in that they are very indifferent to death; Chidori feels all death means is just "not waking up anymore." She is loyal to Takaya and Jin and always follows them to do illegal activities, even during their assassinations, although she doesn't really consider them close friends and only tags along with them because she has nowhere else to belong and they are artificial Persona Users like her. She thinks of her Persona, Medea as her only friend, even though her Persona nearly killed her by strangling her.

    Medea is Chidori Yoshino's Persona, manifested forcefully through an experiment by the Kirijo Group. As a result, she is not stable and will attempt to kill Chidori if she does not take suppressant drugs. Medea is able to disrupt the analytical abilities of Fuuka Yamagishi's own Persona. She is also used to interrupt Fuuka's telepathic powers and communicate to SEES through Lucia or Juno. On the other hand, Medea is able to heal other lifeforms, and possibly revive them, though the latter will result in Chidori's death. Chidori gains the ability to heal her own wounds, which is dubbed the "Spring of Life."

He is always seen carrying a silver briefcase. While his age, as with Takaya and Chidori, is unknown, he seems to be older than SEES, as he refers to Mitsuru Kirijo as "little lady," making him at least 18 or 19.

    Jin's most prominent trait is his loyalty to Takaya, to the degree of zealotry. Jin shows to be quite intelligent, being the information gatherer of Strega and web author of the Revenge Request website. He is very adept at locating their victims. Although, despite his intelligence, Jin is shown to have a very aggressive disposition as well as sharing the same misanthropic views as Takaya, though he is more rational than the latter, acting as a voice of reason to Takaya's more impulsive behavior. He dislikes SEES, calling them hypocrites and will insult or engage in battle with them every chance he gets. Also in SEES' battle with Jin, if he is near his defeat, he will complain that he lost to "these amateurs" again, despite not having actually lost yet. This would make Jin an example of an enemy who knows when he's beaten. In spite of being the most level-headed member of Strega, he only maintains proper composure due to his strong attachment and dependence towards Takaya, who saved him from the pain of death. As a consequence, Jin's goals are twisted to support Takaya's, to the point he puts no consideration of his own well-being. As such, Jin only acts as the ideal self he wishes to be, and his rational persona is undercut by an arrogance he is completely unaware of.

    Moros is Jin Shirato's artificially summoned Persona, born from the experiments performed by the Kirijo Group. Moros appears as a pendulum-shaped bipedal robot with one arm and glowing inscriptions hovering above his head, signifying his summoner's proficiency in information technology. Like his myth's namesake, Moros delivers the message of doom by exploiting the elemental weaknesses of an enemy. Because he was not awakened naturally, Moros is not stable and is liable to attempt to kill Jin, forcing Jin to take Persona Suppressors to keep him under control.

At school and in Tartarus, she wears the Gekkoukan High uniform with personal effects: no jacket, a white blouse (long sleeve in winter and short puffy-sleeve in summer), a black skirt that goes above her knees, and black knee-high high-heeled boots. On the weekends and days off, she wears a short black peacoat, a white scarf, and white pants, along with her black boots. In the summer, however, she wears a white sleeveless turtleneck shirt and black pants with a belt. As with the rest of SEES, Mitsuru wears a swimsuit during the excursion at Yakushima. She is seen wearing a kimono at numerous appropriate occasions.

    itsuru is calm, confident, mature, responsible, wise and very intelligent despite being a high school student. However, she may be interpreted as slightly arrogant, conceited, cold-hearted or overconfident. As events unfold, this may be a front of maturity, due to her assumed role as the leader of SEES. Her Persona Arcana is the Empress, which fits with the "motherly/older sisterly" role she plays in the group.

    Mitsuru has a streak of strict conduct. Per formal Japanese culture, Mitsuru is the only member of SEES who formally addresses her fellow club mates by their last names (e.g. Yamagishi). Akihiko Sanada is an exception to this, as the two are good friends and have known each other since junior high. Eventually, she becomes more familiar with the other SEES members and refers to Yukari Takeba on a first-name basis, and the others' on occasion. Mitsuru is also very insistent with the team keeping their grades up, going so far as to sign them up for summer classes behind their backs. Mitsuru is also outspoken and has little to no tolerance for prejudice. Despite her often getting annoyed at Akihiko's eagerness to fight, she enjoys fighting just as much as he does, if not more. With Junpei noted that she get easily riled up then Akihiko and occasionally shown excitement in trying new things that she is not familiar with such develop a interest learning what a group date is. Mitsuru also appears to be afraid of ghosts and horror. Her sheltered upbringing and wild imagination often cause misunderstandings. One example occurs during a video recording, in which she believes Junpei's room has been ransacked due to how messy it is. After calling over Officer Kurosawa to investigate, she is surprised and embarrassed when Junpei arrives and explains that his room "always looks like this." Another example is when the team needs to break into Gekkoukan High at night in order to find Fuuka Yamagishi in Tartarus. When discussing how they'll get in, Junpei claims he has it "all set to go" and Mitsuru misinterprets this as him setting an explosive, though he merely unlocked a door earlier. Mitsuru is shown to be quite awkward when dealing with normal social situations and can be rather shy at times, as she blushes when complimented by Yukari and Fuuka or when Yukari exclaimed they can take a bath together at the Hot Spring as they have nothing to hide now, likely due to her upbringing. It is implied that she has never eaten various common foodstuffs due to her family status, such as burgers, ramen and takoyaki. It is noted by her father that she has difficulty trusting others, and at one point he tells her that she can only do so much on her own and reminds her of the Kirijo Group's guiding principle, "Two in harmony surpasses one in perfection," which Mitsuru takes to heart. She also secretly likes to read teenage fashion and is interested in it.

    Penthesilea is the Persona of Mitsuru Kirijo. She carries an affinity to Ice, and appears as an iron-masked queen wielding a dagger and a rapier. Her right breastplate lacks a design on it compared to her left breastplate. She uses ice attacks, uses fencing rapiers in combat and is weak against fire. Mitsuru uses one-handed swords in battle, which inflict Slash damage. Her Persona,Penthesilea, specializes in Ice skills. Among the party members, Mitsuru has high Magic, but below-average stats in all other areas aside from Luck.

    Akihiko has short silver hair, gray eyes, and wears a small white bandage above his left eye. He wears a slightly modified version of the usual Gekkoukan High School school uniform, where he replaces its standard jacket with a red sweater vest, opting to carry the jacket over his shoulder instead. Similar to other students, his dress shirt underneath alternates between long-sleeved for winter, and short-sleeved for summer. Additionally, he wears the usual black necktie and black gloves. He is only seen without his gloves in his standard summer outfit, but is also without them while wearing his bathing suit in Yakushima and briefly during the school field trip to Kyoto.

    A cool and well-respected upperclassman, Akihiko is serious and determined, while also cracking small jokes on occasion. Of all the members of the group, he is the most prone to sarcasm. He tends to show excitement for a big challenge, something that eventually rubs off on Junpei. He is eager to train and fight, often to a fault. Early on in the game, while injured due to the Magician full moon Shadow, he will repeatedly express interest in fighting despite being unable to. This draws criticism from Mitsuru, who views Akihiko's eagerness to fight as if he treats their work as a game. At one point, Yukari even accuses him of caring more about having a good fight than doing the right thing. Akihiko is shown to have noble intentions though, not caring about being acknowledged for S.E.E.S.' efforts and chastising Junpei for expecting praise for fighting to save the world. It is later mentioned in a dorm dialogue that he and Shinjiro's goal when they first joined S.E.E.S. had always been to eliminate the Dark Hour. Akihiko is a kind and principled young man who will go out of his way to help someone, being willing to take on additional risk to save Fuuka from Tartarus despite having never met her before, even after Junpei and Yukari pointed out that she had been there for ten days and had most likely not survived. Akihiko also has an aggressive side, which he usually demonstrates when dealing with Shadows. He never gives up and always tries to get stronger in order to protect what is dear to him. Akihiko's guilt as his driving motivator is alluded to early on, telling his juniors that he knows what it's like to feel powerless and that he never wants to feel that way again. It is later clarified that Akihiko blames himself for not being able to save his younger sister, Miki, from the fire that claimed her life. Seeing himself as too weak, his feelings of ineptitude and fear of loss culminated in an obsession with attaining strength, though this often results in him overworking himself. Akihiko is also shown to be very smart, if not quite on Mitsuru's level, as he is consistently shown to score good grades and often picks up on things that Mitsuru misses, like giant Shadows appearing during the full moon and how Fuuka disappeared. He even tells Makoto Yuki that a strong mind is just as important as a strong body. He is also very competitive; despite not being particularly interested in picking up girls, he willingly goes along with Operation: Babe Hunt once challenged, treating it like a match and even getting disappointed when they have no luck. Afterwards, it takes six months for Junpei to get him to admit defeat, after which he takes most of the group out for ramen. He acts like a protective older brother for the younger S.E.E.S. members. Akihiko cares greatly about his image and wishes to present himself as a reliable role model. Akihiko is on good terms with his childhood best friend Shinjiro and keeps in touch with him even after the latter quit S.E.E.S.. He cares a lot for him, something made especially clear when Akihiko finds out about the dangerous drugs Shinjiro takes in order to prevent his Persona from going berserk. However, their conversations are not always civil, as the majority of Akihiko's interactions with Shinjiro throughout the game are in an attempt to try and convince him to come back to S.E.E.S.. Akihiko shows himself to be occasionally hypocritical, telling Shinjiro in one instance that he can't keep dwelling on the past, of which prompts Shinjiro to remind him that he isn't any different as he can't let go of his guilt over not being able to save his sister's life - the inciting incident that spawned Akihiko's entire reason for fighting. Indeed, much like Junpei, Akihiko views S.E.E.S.'s activities as a form of escapism from his normal life, and he occasionally questions whether he really wants the Dark Hour gone. While generally caring and straightforward, Akihiko can be quite abrasive at times, such as when he pretty much forces Shinjiro to come back to S.E.E.S. by leveraging Ken's status as a newly-joined member. He can be blunt and isn't above making a harsh comment to someone, even to a friend, a trait he shares with the similarly-aloof Mitsuru. However, Akihiko is also shown to be scared of Mitsuru, and greatly dreads being on the receiving end of one of her "executions." Akihiko is generally more socially awkward and oblivious than the other SEES members, failing to recognize the uneasy tension between Yukari and Mitsuru preceding the Emperor and Empress full moon battle and not understanding the reactions to his choice of a speedo for his swimsuit during the group's trip to Yakushima. Though things often fly over his head, Akihiko is also easily flustered by petty insults, teasing, as well as compliments, with Yukari later remarking that he is "awkward in social situations." According to one Tartarus dialogue between he, Mitsuru, and Shinjiro, Akihiko has always been easily worked up, and would often get excited and run off alone during the early days of S.E.E.S. Akihiko is sometimes depicted as stiff and unapproachable, displaying a complete disregard for his fanbase of female students who follow him around. He finds this irritating and will sometimes complain to Makoto Yuki about it, saying they talk so much that they give him a headache. Akihiko is revealed during Operation: Babe Hunt to be extremely shy and awkward when approaching girls. According to Shinjiro, Akihiko is actually quite the crybaby. Whenever Shinjiro did something wrong when they were kids, even with good intentions (such as stealing a doll so that Miki could have a toy of her own), Akihiko would attack him while crying the entire time. He hides how sensitive he is by responding logically to everything, which leads to his severe bluntness at times. Around Shinjiro, Akihiko also shows a childish side to him, such as getting more excited than Junpei at the prospect of eating Shinjiro's cooking for the first time. Despite repeatedly verbalizing an admiration for Shinjiro's strength, Akihiko also fights with Shinjiro (sometimes physically) over trivial things, which Mitsuru often has to break up.

    Akihiko Sanada is the captain of the Gekkoukan High School boxing team and, along with Mitsuru Kirijo and Shinjiro Aragaki, one of the original members of S.E.E.S. He and Shinjiro grew up in an orphanage together with Akihiko's little sister, Miki, who died in a fire that destroyed the orphanage. Devastated by her death and feeling powerless that he could not save her, Akihiko vowed to become stronger. He took up boxing so he could learn how to fight, becoming a champion student boxer in the process. Akihiko uses his fists and specializes in physical and electric skills.

    Polydeuces is Akihiko's persona. It has a muscular built, albeit with only the hands and feet being reduced in a smaller size compared to the rest of its body. Its face being half-hidden by its upper body, with its right arm being strapped in a gaunlet with a needle at the end. Polydeuces also wears a bulletproof vest on its body.

    Shinjiro is the tallest in SEES. He has unkempt brown hair, worn perpetually under a beanie, and steel-colored eyes. He is somewhat warmly composed, a change from the generally pale cast (there is occasionally some discrepancy with his color scheme in anime cutscenes on the console versions of the game, especially regarding his skin tone). His clothing is relatively simple, consisting mainly of a maroon peacoat, a brown turtleneck long-sleeved shirt, black pants and brown Chelsea shoes. Persona Suppressors can cause the body to become unable to regulate body temperature, hence why Shinjiro is always wearing a coat and hat. Shinjiro typically has a "shifty" look about him. He often has his hands in his pockets and his head held low, eyes cast off to the side. In his battle animations, he assumes a more confident and straightforward pose with his weapon: an axe.

    A reliable and serious character whose cold exterior masks his weaker, gentler self, Shinjiro's difficult past weighs him down, causing him to constantly push others away with a tough-guy act. Ever since accidentally causing the death of Ken's mother, he has given up being a member of SEES to live a normal life, even though there are only so many Persona-users and so SEES needs all the help they can get, something even Yukari, who has no love for SEES or the Dark Hour, has the sense to realize. As he points out to Akihiko, both of them are held back by the guilt of their pasts; they just have completely different ways of dealing with it.

    Castor is Shinjiro's persona. Castor's design has some elements of Polydeuces' design, mainly its long, flowing blond hair. Castor has its chest area impaled by a tip of a spear, with its face resembles that of a skull. Castor is also riding a hobby horse, reminiscent of that of an undead horseman. Shinjiro uses axes and hammers in battle which inflict Strike damage. His Persona Castor has no weakness or strengths, and can only use physical skills. Among the party members, Shinjiro has the highest Strength and above-average Endurance, but poor Magic, Agility, and Luck

    Yukari has neck-length light brown hair and brown eyes. She wears small white earrings in both of her ears. She is often seen with both her hands behind her back, except when holding her bow. She is almost never seen without wearing outfits and accessories that are primarily pink in color. At school and within Tartarus/the Dark Hour, she wears a pink cardigan, a loose red ribbon, a black mini skirt, black knee-high stockings with white lines on the outer-sides (often shown with white hearts of four in more detailed settings), and a heart-shaped white choker. In Tartarus/the Dark Hour, she wears two black straps on her right leg with a beige gun holster for her Evoker, as well as her SEES armband on her left bicep.

    Yukari's Arcana is the Lovers, which focuses on balanced, connected relationships with others and important choices; as such, her personality and story revolve mainly around her relationships. She is very popular in Gekkoukan High due to her pretty looks and cheery, positive outlook on life. However, her kindness has its limits, as she's prone to mood swings and getting annoyed over trivial things, often expressing this annoyance with sarcasm. She likes to tease Junpei, even though she deeply cares for him. Her hobbies include archery and acting for drama, and she eventually makes a career of being an actress as Pink Argus. Her favorite color is pink and she has a fondness for cutesy things such as her heart choker and even maid uniforms. Despite her cheerful exterior, Yukari is secretly a very lonely girl. Although she deeply values bonds and relationships with others, she's afraid of letting anyone get too close to her with fear that they'll find out about her traumatic past. Makoto Yuki is an exception to this, as the two can relate to each other due to their shared losses. It can be heavily implied Yukari has romantic feelings for him. Eventually, she starts to open up to those around her, particularly Mitsuru, who she initially doesn't like very much but eventually becomes best friends with. Yukari despises the Dark Hour, and likens being a Persona-user to trading innocence for power, since you can no longer turn away from the things you don't want to see. As a result, she considers being conscious during the Dark Hour to be a curse rather than a blessing, and so is shocked by Strega's willingness to keep it active just because it makes them feel special, calling them "crazy." She has made it her goal to eliminate the Dark Hour no matter what and fulfill her father's dying wish, a desire that only strengthens after receiving her father's true message (the other one had been edited by Ikutsuki), which triggers the evolution of her Persona. However, while Yukari's love for her father reaches the point of idolization, she has a toxic relationship with her mother, who threw herself at random men as a coping mechanism against her husband's death. Eventually, Yukari decided she was better off living alone, doing so for 3 years before coming to the S.E.E.S. dorm. The two rarely talk, and when they do, their conversations are straight to the point at best and even outright antagonistic at worst. This in turn has made Yukari self-reliant and responsible, but also cold and aloof in some regard as well.

    Yukari uses a bow and specializes in wind and healing skills. Her persona, Io appears as a young girl with a similar appearance to Yukari, sitting in a throne shaped like a bull's head, which she is chained to. The astrological sign for the Taurus constellation can be seen in between the nostrils of the bull. Among the party members, Yukari has the highest Magic, but is below-average in Strength, Endurance, and Agility. In particular, her Strength is the lowest among the entire cast.

    Junpei has dark grayish-black hair, gray-colored eyes and a goatee. He is shown to be slightly taller than Makoto Yuki, yet shorter than Akihiko. He is often seen with both of his hands on his belt when idle, except while wielding a two-handed sword, which he holds with both hands much like how a batter in baseball would. While at school and in Tartarus he is in the school uniform of Gekkoukan High, though his, like the rest of SEES, is slightly modified, he wears the school jacket and pants, but with a blue collared dress shirt, He wears the red brassard of SEES that all members wear on his left arm, a navy blue baseball cap with a white Triquetra symbol on the front, and he wears several accessories, consisting of a silver necklace, a chain attached to his pants and black dress shoes. He also wears a white belt with an intricate silver buckle and black patterns along the belt.

    Junpei is usually portrayed as goofy, perverted, immature and upbeat. He fancies himself a ladies' man and frequently tries to hit on girls, with little to no success. Despite this, he is capable of being kind and caring, and he often cracks jokes and calls people "dude" to make them feel better. After school, he is typically seen indulging in his hobbies of reading manga or playing video games. His bedroom in the dorm is a complete mess with stuff scattered everywhere, as shown in a command console recording when Mitsuru suspects that there had been a robbery in his room, when that is actually what his room always looks like. He is also very reckless and hot-headed and rarely thinks things through, such as when he blindly chases after a Shadow when he, Yukari and Makoto Yuki are on the monorail during the May full moon event, leaving the latter two to fend for themselves until they catch up to him. However, Junpei does have his sensible moments as well, such as when he repeatedly warns Yukari that going to the back alley behind Port Island Station is dangerous, when she considers it an "adventure." His Arcana is the Magician, which fits with his immature personality and tendency to act before he thinks. As well as being reckless, Junpei is frequently shown to be book dumb, as he consistently gets low scores on every exam. However, this is largely due to a lack of willingness to study, which only increases when he joins SEES, as he considers saving the world to be more important than school work. This never ceases to annoy Mitsuru, who has to constantly remind him that school is important as well. He's frequently called 'Stupei' by Yukari due to his lack of intelligence and often poor decisions. Although he usually brushes it off, Junpei is shown to greatly dislike this name, and at one point tells her to stop calling him that. Over time, however, she uses the name less and less, and by the end of the game has stopped using it completely, likely due to him becoming more mature. Junpei also starts to take studying more seriously towards the end, and gets a decent score on the final exam. In Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Junpei pursues his hobby of baseball, becoming a role model and coach for a boy named Gorou. Of all the members of SEES, Junpei's initial reason for joining is the most selfish; to play hero and earn some recognition. At one point, he laments over the fact that nobody will ever know about the group's heroics, since nobody except them know the Dark Hour even exists. He claims that he should be the leader and becomes jealous of the Makoto Yuki's special power, which often results in outbursts aimed at Makoto Yuki out of frustration. His desire to be a hero ultimately results in him bragging about being the leader of SEES to Chidori Yoshino, which leads to her kidnapping him in an attempt to make the group give up their mission to eliminate the Dark Hour. Later, it is revealed that Junpei's "class clown" persona is largely a facade to hide his deep insecurities; as far as he's concerned, fighting is the only thing he's ever been good at, and he hates that there's someone better than him at even that (Makoto Yuki). It's because of this that he is initially annoyed that Tartarus and the Dark Hour would soon be gone, as that would mean taking away his purpose in life. Sometimes, he is shown to be upset, depressed or angry as a result of his father's alcoholism, whom he resents and has a poor relationship with. Besides these displays of negativity, however, Junpei's attitude usually remains carefree and lighthearted, and he rarely shows his true feelings in the presence of his friends. He even expresses a strong dislike to people who are drunk and go around the streets asking for money prefering to not be involved and would rather ignore them.

    Junpei uses two-handed swords in battle which inflict Slash damage. With his Personas Hermes and Trismegistus, Junpei can use all three types of physical damage and Fire spells. Among the party members, Junpei has very high Strength and above-average Endurance, but below-average Agility, and the lowest Magic. Hermes is the Persona of Jun Kurosu, the one that assumedly causes Jun to be transferred to Kasugayama High School after his continual manifestations caused serious injuries to students who bullied Jun. Hermes' appearance follow the original god's pattern with the Caduceus (modeled after a rocket ship) held in his right hand, but the wings adorned on his cap and shoes are replaced by mechanically fashioned rockets. The rocket/plane motifs in his design are likely a nod to Jun's favorite book, The Little Prince. He is of the Fortune Arcana and his power is involved with the wind element, capable of reflecting any kind of attacks related to it and nullifies dark, although he has a weakness against lightning.

    Fuuka has short teal-blue hair and dark brownish-gray eyes. She is the third shortest member of SEES and is usually seen with her right arm behind her back, holding her left arm. At school and excursions into Tartarus, Fuuka wears her Gekkoukan High uniform with a teal green turtleneck that has flower patterns, along with white tights. On weekends and days off, she wears a black turtleneck underneath a light green poncho with a yellow flower pattern, a long faded jade-green skirt, black leggings and black slippers. She is usually seen wearing her turtleneck outfits, except during days off in the summer when she wears a bright aqua green sundress, the beach excursion in Yakushima where she wears a swimsuit, the Summer Festival where she wears her yukata, the school trip in Kyoto where she is wearing a bathrobe and New Year's Day at the Naganaki Shrine where she wears her kimono.

    Initially, Fuuka is a very reserved, shy and timid girl who rarely speaks up. Before she joined S.E.E.S., this made her an easy target for school bullies, to the point of Natsuki Moriyama locking her in the school gym, which resulted in her getting trapped in Tartarus. However, she is also a friendly student once others open up to her and very kind-hearted, even more so than Yukari. She is very polite, and almost always uses honorifics when addressing people. Usually cool, calm, and collected (particularly in the movie) and despite being quiet and not being involved with fighting and physical combat, she tries to help her friends in any way possible such as using her Persona's abilities to scan the statistics and weaknesses of Shadows, showing her to be very diligent and dedicated. Her Arcana is the Priestess, which fits with her ability to easily contemplate and analyze things. It also reflects her independence, which is shown by her being able to survive in Tartarus for ten hours by herself, when S.E.E.S. were barely able to last an hour in there at that point. In keeping with her kind nature, Fuuka is a very forgiving person, which is shown by the fact that she holds no grudge whatsoever against Natsuki for bullying her and trapping her in Tartarus, though this is largely because Natsuki is sincerely repentant about what she did to her. She goes out of her way to protect her from the Emperor and Empress Shadows, and the two become good friends after she returns to the real world, with Natsuki asking her to call her by her first name. Fuuka loves computers and technology, and can almost always be seen in the dorm on her laptop. She is the type of girl who would rather stay inside connected to her computer and tinkering with electronics, rather than going outside to shop or any outside activities in general for that matter, due to her shyness. While never shown on-screen, Fuuka seems to be an expert hacker, as she manages to hack top-level Kirijo Group archives in order to find out the truth about SEES and Tartarus and can piece back together video files purposefully deleted by third parties, such as the true final message left behind by Yukari's father. The Film Festival reveals that Fuuka is a big fan of hard science fiction i.e. the type of science fiction that could actually happen in the near future, and she says that she's never been a fan of the kind of movies where people travel in time and cast spells. Fuuka is often shown to be a terrible cook, and even Koromaru felt terrified when he heard she was going to prepare food for him. She says that she cooks to balance out her love of computers, which she believes makes her unfeminine. Despite this, she is considered to be the most feminine of the group by Junpei, who believes Yukari should act a bit more like her. Fuuka doesn't get along with her parents very well; due most of her family being doctors, both of Fuuka's parents have an inferiority complex and so are really adamant about Fuuka keeping her grades up, ironically causing Fuuka to develop an inferiority complex herself, which resulted in her shy, withdrawn nature. Because of this, she finds living at home to be very difficult and so much prefers to live in the dorm, because there she can be of use to everyone, which is why she didn't feel like Mitsuru dragged her into their battles even though she (and Yukari) worried she might have. However, this desire to be useful sometimes causes her to take enormous responsibility upon herself, such as when she won't allow anyone to search for the Hermit Shadow during the September Full Moon event, insisting that she has to find it herself. Despite this desire, Fuuka also has a deep resentment towards the Dark Hour, though she's nowhere near as vocal about it as Yukari; when Takaya Sakaki demands that the group acknowledge the "significance" that the Dark Hour has given them, Fuuka states matter-of-factly that she doesn't enjoy the group's ordeals one bit.

    Fuuka does not engage in combat directly, but instead specializes in analysis and support during battle. She is able to scan an enemy's affinities and skills, while also having her own skills that can support the party. Her persona, Lucia is depicted as a woman, with her eyes and throat being covered in bandages. Its bottom half is a glass sphere shaped like an eyeball.

    Aigis appears as an android with short, blond hair and light blue eyes. Ikutsuki explains that her humanoid shape allows her to process thoughts like a human making it easier to handle a Persona. When she transfers and appears in Gekkoukan High, she wears the generic female school uniform, which also includes black knee-length socks and brown loafers, but retains her red ribbon except at the beach excursion in Yakushima, a brief school field trip in Kyoto (in which she wears a robe) and the post-New Year's Day when she wears a kimono at the nearby shrine.

    Aigis' initial personality is simply a robot designed to obey orders, although she is drawn to Makoto Yuki and states that it is very important for her to be by his side, going so far as to hug them in front of everyone. Her desire to protect Makoto Yuki is so strong, in fact, that she was able to overcome Ikutsuki's programming and free the entire team from their shackles, when Ikutsuki had attempted to sacrifice them to bring forth the Fall. As a result of having no emotions, Aigis' social skills are more-or-less non-existent; it's frequently noted on-screen that while she may look human, she is far from passing as such. She is prone to doing very strange and socially unacceptable things, such as breaking into Makoto Yuki's room to wake him up and requesting to be on standby in their room, which Yukari calls her out for. A video recording shows that she has a habit of breaking into his dorm room at night in order to check on him, even going so far as to keep a record of how long it takes her to pick the lock, In Falling Down, she even goes so far as to sneak into the boys' rooms during the group's stay in Kyoto, claiming it was unfair that she and Makoto Yuki weren't in the same room. Lack of social grace notwithstanding, Aigis is nonetheless very polite to everybody, always using the honorific '-san' when addressing them. In the original Japanese version, she often ends her sentences with "de arimasu" prior to developing emotions. She is shown to be able to understand Koromaru and often translates for the others, though she is shown to be able to understand dogs in general. She states that dogs don't have a language, but speech is not the only way of communication, she can understand Koromaru's thoughts and feelings.

    Palladion serves as the Persona of Aigis. Unlike other party members, Aigis specializes in physical attacks at the expense of not learning elemental attacks. Her skillset consists of Slash, Strike and, eventually, all -kaja buff skills. Aigis's weapons of choice are her built-in firearms, covering her lack of Pierce skills. Among the party members, Aigis has the highest Endurance and lowest Luck. Her Strength, Magic, and Agility are fairly average. Aigis nullifies Poison and resists Pierce but is weak to Electricity. Her health pool complements her focus on Physical skills. Aigis also has a high Endurance stat, allowing her to survive against more damage. Aigis possesses the unique mechanic of Orgia Mode, which is available from the Tactics menu. Orgia Mode, when activated, removes any ailments she is afflicted with and increases her damage output for three turns. However, during this time Aigis cannot exit Orgia Mode until she overheats. Once overheated, she will not be able to act for three turns unless she dies.

    Koromaru is a small white and gray Shiba Inu with red eyes. When he joined SEES, he was given a special Evoker made for dogs: a metallic collar around his neck. He has a red armband on his front left leg, a miniature white t-shirt, and very small angel-esque wings on his back.

    Koromaru's personality is based on the famous dog Hachikō. He is kind and has shown extreme loyalty, choosing to stay at his master's shrine long after his death and going for a walk every day like he used to with his master. He is also very protective of the shrine, as shown when he risked his life to defend it, but got seriously injured in the process. According to Aigis, he considers the shrine a sacred place. Koromaru also exhibits numerous human characteristics, despite being a dog. He exhibits intelligence far above that of most dogs. He is fiercely loyal, and particularly close with Shinjiro Aragaki, who often feeds him special food and takes extra care of him. He is a fan of a show called "The True Battles of Real Men," which exhibits acts of courage from real people. He begs Makoto Yuki to take him to the theater for a special showing of the final episodes of the show. Koromaru whines and runs around after the movie until Makoto Yuki agrees to purchase the boxed set after its release.

    Cerberus appears as Koromaru's Persona. It is a Fire and Darkness elemental Persona and differs from the usual appearance as a black three-headed hound resembling a Doberman. Koromaru fights with knives in battle which inflict Slash damage. He is very agile in battle and rarely misses attacks and is generally harder to hit.

    Ken has styled short brown hair and eyes. Even as an elementary student, he is short for his age. At school and Tartarus, he wears a school uniform of Gekkoukan Elementary, with an orange jacket under his Gekkoukan jacket, and tennis shoes with white socks. On weekends off, he is seen wearing a long orange turtleneck sweater shirt with light orange sleeves and tan shorts. On the summer days off, he wears a black turtleneck shirt underneath his orange and black jersey (with an "8" on the back, referencing his Arcana) and black shorts.

    Despite his young age, Ken is very intelligent and mature. It is shown that this is a coping mechanism due to the death of his mother at a young age, which more-or-less forced him to give up his childhood. His maturity is noted by Yukari, who can't believe he's in elementary school and claims that Junpei, who is a full six years older than him, could learn a thing or two from him. Fuuka also notes his maturity, and finds him cute as a result of it. Besides being mature, Ken also says several words that boys his age don't usually use, such as "bastard," which he usually uses when referring to Strega. Additionally, he doesn't take kindly to when others underestimate or degrade him due to his age or the fact that he is in elementary school. He is normally very polite to others, and never misses a chance to show respect where respect is due. He is also honest, diligent, and deeply caring towards his peers, particularly the members of SEES. Ken is shown to like and care a great deal for animals, such as Koromaru. In his video recording, There is a hamster in his room. Although Ken is very mature, he still has several traits that fit with his age and is sometimes too precocious for his own good. Overall, Ken gives off the impression that he's trying too hard to be something he's not, i.e. an adult. Ken notes that one of the reasons he uses spears in battle is so that the long reach of the weapon can let him be on even ground with an adult. He also likes to watch a children's show, Featherman R, but he prefers to keep it a secret. He seems to collect a lot of the Featherman R figurines, as well. He is also shown to be quite naive at times, such as when Junpei convinces him into believing the girls aren't wearing anything under their kimonos, which they wore on New Year's Day: although Junpei had clearly perverted intentions, those were completely lost on Ken. He finds a role-model in Akihiko, whom he admires for his boxing and fighting talents, often referring to him as "Sanada-san" as a form of respect to his senpai. He has a strong dislike for milk, but he forces himself to drink it because he believes it can make him become taller. Unfortunately, it seems he may be lactose-intolerant since it often makes him ill. Although especially idealistic, his tragedy with his mother's death torments him in maintaining his sense of justice and the reason to live it belies for him: at first, he considers suicide, but eventually forgoes that and responds with a drive for revenge.

    Ken uses spears in battle which inflict Pierce damage. His Persona Nemesis specialize in Light, Electricity, and healing spells. Among the party members, Ken has above-average Magic, Agility, and Luck, but below-average Strength and Endurance.
