I'm pretty sure Andras, at least, is in Persona 5. It's interesting how the cultural influence of something like this is still with us.

As you might know, most (all?) of SMT/Persona demons are from somewhere. It's actually a pretty cool idea - the creatures may be familiar but Atlus can give them their own spin.

The Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series just might be the "Carmen Sandiego" of demonology.

And mythology in general. Really, the only religious figures I can think of that they never put in a SMT game are ones who are (purportedly) actual people -- Jesus, Mary, Zoroaster, Buddha, etc. Otherwise, it's open season. Although in later games they've pumped the brakes a little on having the God of Abraham as the final boss and such.

Arahabaki! It's amazing how easy it is to remember the names of 100+ demons.

Definitely more than just Andras -- some other demons from the Goetia are present.
