Lucifugus is one of the highest-ranking devils connected to the Tree of Qliphoth. After Nacht Faust successfully binds four devils, his father believes Nacht is talented enough to bind Lucifugus and hands him a bracelet linked to Lucifugus that had been passed down in House Faust. Despite the ritual suppressing the devil’s power, Lucifugus quickly kills the spectators watching.

Morgen Faust attempts to dissuade his twin brother, but Nacht summons Lucifugus. Morgen jumps into the magic circle and shatters the bracelet, canceling the ritual and sending Lucifugus back to the underworld.
