― Michael's taunt when using Spicule

Michael (ミカエル, Mikaeru?), known as Decus in the original English translation, is the third-in-command of the Ten Wise Men, the tactical weapon of the group, the fourth Wise Man to be created and the tertiary antagonist of Star Ocean: The Second Story, its enhanced port Second Evolution and remake The Second Story R.

Profile
Birthplace: Energy Nede
Birthdate: Unknown
One of the Ten Wise Men who sought to gain control of the universe in the 360s (S.D.). He was a weapon created approximately 3.7 billion years ago by Energy Nede, a civilization with advanced scientific means.
For a long time he was sealed away in a time pocket in Eternity Space. Due to an accident, however, he escaped from imprisonment, and began his rain of destruction on the universe.

Story[]

Michael was created about four billion years ago by Dr. Lantis as part of the "Ten Wise Men Defense Plan", commissioned by Energy Nede's government. Michael and the others were meant to rule the universe after quenching the rebellion that resisted Nede's rule over the galaxy.

Michael first appears atop Eluria Tower with the other Wise Men, moments before the clash of Expel with Energy Nede.

Michael is later found at Phynal, in the first attack against the Wise Men stronghold. In the retaking of Phynal, Michael is shown to be an high-rank Wise Man with a taste for destruction, and is fought alongside Haniel after Camael, Zadkiel and Raphael; and before second-in-command Wise Man Lucifer.

Gameplay[]

In Phynal, Michael fights alongside Haniel. The battle against them is considered one of the hardest in the entire game. All his spells and special arts are fire-based, including his ultimate attack, Spicule, which deals major damage to characters without any fire protection and may even wipe out said characters at full HP. He is, however, weak against water-based skills and spells. He can cast Explode, Eruption, Fire Bolt, Cure All, and Earthquake, and his high speed and damaging attacks make him the greater threat in this battle.

In Star Ocean: Anamnesis, Michael also had appeared as an enemy boss in the event Michael Descends, as well as a playable character.

Trivia[]

  • In the English translation of the PSX version, his name is changed to Decus. This likely comes from Decus Et Tutamen, translating to ornament and safeguard. This was a phrase used in Virgil's Aeneid referring to the second place prize in the funeral games, a breast-plate, the winner of which will wear "as his pride and protection in battle".
  • Michael makes a cameo in "To the House by the Sea (Miki)" from the event Planet of the Deep Blue Sea in Star Ocean: Anamnesis. There, the captain and Miki Sauvester go to a beachside cantina called Ocean Spice. Miki (who is a "big eater") orders a huge amount of food for herself and eats it all. 'Shopkeeper' Michael then appears and Miki asks for twenty orders of his spicy stir-fired noodles. Michael agrees to it, but he ends up setting Miki on fire. The captain then wakes up, revealing the incident to be a simple fever dream.
