Description
Professor Veil, alias Zebub, is the human guise of the demon Beelzebub. His true form manifests as a massive fly-like monster featuring four wings, three-toed feet, and exoskeletal armor plates resembling shoulder pads. His human disguise presents as an elderly or middle-aged man sporting a goatee, a pointed nose, and distinctive red robes.
In antiquity, Beelzebub served as a professor within the advanced city of Sodom. When God attacked the city, he gathered survivors to hear Satan explain the destruction. Alongside figures including Dante, Medusa, Zenon, and Satan, he aided the injured. As God divided its essence to reshape Sodom into a hellish landscape, Beelzebub and the others absorbed God's energy, transforming into demons.
Centuries later, Beelzebub spearheads a Satanist cult dedicated to reviving Dante. Operating under aliases like "Veil" and "Zebub," he infiltrates academic and theological circles by posing as a Bible scholar. He orchestrates the theft of sacred artifacts, including the Holy Grail and Manora, from the Duomo cathedral. After relocating to Japan, he stages his apparent death in a terrorist attack to evade authorities. Cult operatives, including Pico, recover his body and revive him for a Black Mass ritual intending to sacrifice Saori Utsugi. The God's Association interrupts the ritual, leading to Saori's rescue by her brother Ryo.
Following the failed Black Mass, Beelzebub convenes with fellow demons at an aquarium to address a traitor among them. He confronts them, revealing he knows the traitor allowed the God's Association to disrupt the ritual upon discovering Ryo Utsugi was a member – their laws forbade sacrificing a member's family. This highlights his strategic awareness and adherence to demonic codes.
In the 2002 reboot continuity, Beelzebub is reimagined as one of Sodom's scientist prodigies, working alongside Dante Luther, Medusa Gorgon, Satan, and Lucifer. During God's invasion, he utilizes experimental "demon" weapons that amplify mental energy, merging with his weapon to become a demon during the conflict. This version retains his role in the ancient war against God while integrating into the reboot's expanded lore.
The character's design draws deliberate inspiration from real-life Satanist Anton LaVey.
