In other words, he's quite literally the universe's version of the devil, with the Amaterasu Unit/The Origin playing the God-like figure and Ragna playing Jesus. Taken to it's logical extreme in the fourth game when his true identity is revealed to be Susanoo, the original will of the Susanoo Unit that initially served the Master Unit, Amaterasu (aka God) but rebelled when he felt like he was enslaved to it's will and devoted his life to destroying the world that Amaterasu created and becoming a being that would surpass it and create a world where he is feared and loathed by all. Although his not really true name 'Terumi' is safe, the nickname 'Hazama' gives the meaning of 'otherworldly', similar to how Lucifer meant "Lightbringer" before he went on to be known as Satan or all those nasty other names. He walks around with Eyes Always Shut, speaks like a gentleman in order to lull his unaware "allies" to move like he wills it, and if his acts with Litchi are to be believed, one of his modus operandi is driving people to sign on a Deal with the Devil. He succeeded in toppling "God" (Takamagahara) by Continuum Shift and now seeks to do the same to the true God (Amaterasu). He made what he believed to be truth, which meant despair was the only truth in the world, and caused the lies of the world (which, in his view, is everything) to be cut down. One of the revered Six Heroes, he betrayed his team and, after being sealed, resurfaced once more to topple Heaven and God and shape the world as he saw fit. Yuuki Terumi from BlazBlue is also a Satan Expy.Appropriately, Rodin's role is broadly similar to the traditional devil: a fallen angel who is thwarted and punished from trying to conquer Heaven (and is feared by it), who rules his own "sub-basement" location after his punishment, and jokes about the "deals" he provides Bayonetta. The character art for Rodin in the unlockable extras never uses that name, giving his name as "Mephisto", the name of a German folklore demon most prominently mentioned in the Faust legend and occasionally used as another name for the Devil himself. In fact, Bayonetta summons Sheba herself in order to finish off the Creator God Jubileus by punching her all the way through the solar system and into the sun. Queen Sheba is the ruler of Inferno, the realm of demons that Bayonetta often taps into for her most stylish finishers.
ActRaiser's Big Bad was Satan in the Japanese version, but was renamed Tanzra in the US, due to Nintendo's policy against religious references.
