About
Mephisto is the Principal of True Cross Academy and also an exorcist. He uses the name Johann Faust V in public. After Shiro Fujimoto's death Pheles was ordered to execute Rin Okumura, however he accepted Rin's proposal in becoming an exorcist and entered him into True Cross Academy as a student. It has been heavily implied that he is the son of Satan along with his brother, the Earth King, Amaimon. He has been shown responsible for allowing several higher class demons onto campus.
He wears white clothes with a huge hat on his head and has demon pointed ears along with sharp, pointed teeth. He is also tall, having a height of 195 cm (6'4" wink . He has dark purple hair and emerald green eyes. His normal clothes consist of a white top hat with pink and purple around the base, purple gloves, a tie that is pink with white dots, a white suit-shirt and undershirt, jester-style pants, and pointed shoes. His appearance prompts Rin to refer to him as 'the Clown'. As the series progresses, he stops wearing the jester pants and pointed shoes, instead wearing white dress pants and black shoes.
In addition, he can transform into a small white dog when he counts down from three in German (up to three in the anime). In this form he is a small, fluffy, scottish terrier-looking dog with a large pink ribbon around his neck with a silver trinket attached to it, the trinket being the symbol of an exorcist.
Nothing much is known about Mephisto's history, other than the fact that he was close friends with Shiro, and that he had ties with the Vatican for around 200 years.
In the anime filler, Mephisto claims that he had connections with an artificial life laboratory over 500 years ago, but stopped when the vatical declared it illegal. He left it to his students, but there is a large gap between then and now.
A more recent development shows that he has been around as early as the Renaissance era. He is shown talking with Faust himself about a gamble. Mephisto says that he will grant Faust eternal life, but, the moment the man wishes to die, his soul belongs to Mephisto. Mephisto later said that he eventually won the bet.
He is powerful enough to block any higher ranking demon from entering into the academy. It is stated when Pheles told Amaimon the King of Earth, to enter into the academy, Amaimon replied that he can't enter into the academy without the "Infinity Key" because of Pheles's barrier. How powerful he is has not been shown yet but he has mentioned that he is a honorary knight, the position two ranks below Paladin. When he sealed Rin's flames into Koumaken, he only had to snap his fingers.
