Mephistopheles is the name of the demon in the Faust legend. The character has since appeared in other works as a stock character version of the devil. While Lucifer is the bearer of light, Mephistopheles is the shunner of light. There are many interpretations of Mephistopheles. Mostly, this agent or servant of Lucifer is portrayed as a collector of already damned souls. He has also been described as playing the role of protector (he warns Faustus of the choice he is making by "selling his soul" to the Devil).
