In Devil Survivor
Belberith is one of the demons who is after becoming the king of Bel, ruler of the underworld. In order to achieve this he forms an alliance with the Lawful Shomonakai, lending them his strength. The Shomonakai in return create fear amongst the population, strengthening Belberith, who feeds on it.
His design in
Devil Survivor combines the demons
Bael,
Baal, and
Belphegor seen previously in the
Shin Megami Tensei series. Within the story this is a visual symbolization of how he subsumed these demons' powers into himself, similarly to how the
protagonist absorbed the Bels Beldr,
Belial,
Jezebel, and
Belzaboul.
