"They trouble me greatly, walking in the footsteps of God as they do. Is it by chance, or by design? I can never tell."

"This was Caine's curse to bear, yet he has turned it into an unholy legacy. If ever there were a reason to return, it is to cleanse them from the face of Creation and end their suffering."

"They were not a part of the design. I don't know what to make of them. Some seem to care for the Earth we made, whereas others are abominations."

"Humanity is at its worst, yet I believe more than ever that salvation shall be found in them. I shall make from one my greatest Magus, and they will sing a hymn the likes of which will touch even the ears of God."

"Some of us still exist as angels and seek God's forgiveness. Too few. The responsibility to slay those who are truly demons falls to me."

- Mastema's name is noted in the Book of Jubilees. He is remembered as the Angel of Destruction, as well as a tempter and tester of mankind. The book also claims that he asked God to allow him demons as servants, but he vehemently denies this.
- Mastema's hosts are all flawed in that their irises take on an unnatural silver hue. He disguises this as best as he can.
- It is Mastema's belief that Creation can be saved by the children of man, and so he has a habit of making pacts and thralls to create human warriors against the forces of the unholy.
- Mastema hopes to one day find a particular mortal thrall who can become his Magus, his supreme thrall whose hymn will touch even the ears of God, calling Him back to Creation.
- Hiroshi Hatake, Mastema's host, was a hunter in life. It's because of this that Mastema tends to continue that work in his host's guise, though he has taken on a particular habit of targeting high-Torment demons and vampires - the two blights upon Creation he finds most unholy.
- Perhaps there's more truth to the Book of Jubilees than Mastema admits? Though he professes to be a force for good, he is a terribly skilled manipulator - to say nothing of being an angel with a literal mask. His motives may be questionable.
