Stephen (Shin Megami Tensei)

Summary
Stephen is a non-player character, first appearing in Shin Megami Tensei. He is loosely based on the theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking.

In SMT I, Stephen is a brilliant computer programmer who is the main architect of the Terminal System project, a revolutionary technology which allowed instantaneous travel through computer networks. However, during one of those experiments, a terminal accidentally connected to the Expanse, causing a demon to travel through. The supernatural being tried to communicate with Stephen, but as Stephen wasn't able to comprehend its language, it eventually got hostile and attacked, resulting in the crippling of Stephen.

This event ended up motivating Stephen in developing the Demon Summoning Program, a computer file that, once downloaded in a COMP, will allow its user to translate the demon language, allowing for proper communication. He sent the Demon Summoning Program through e-mail to as many people as possible hoping that someone would one day be able to use it to ally himself with demons to avert the obliteration of Tokyo by the upcoming war of the rising Messian and Gaean factions.

Stephen also appears in Shin Megami Tense II, IV and IV: Apocalypse, acting as a guide to Aleph, Flynn and Nanashi. He is also the one behind the non-canonical DLC quest "Messiahs in the Diamond Realm", where he summons Kazuya, Aleph, the Demi-Fiend, Flynn and Nanashi, and through circumstances does battle with all five of them, stepping from his wheelchair and acting as the game's Ultimate Boss.
