Alrighty, got it. I failed to notice "messiah" was the title and not the name of the character.
Thanks!

A FAQ for Megami Tensei If... has a pretty good translation of what all the monster species mean:
YOUJUU [Yo (Mysterious, Strange) + Juu (Beast)]
Demons of insatiable appetite. While their intellect is not low,
per se, most of their actions are dictated purely by greed and
self-interest. They revel in destruction and many of them desire
for the creation to be returned to nothingness. Their magical
powers are weak, but their physical strength is not to be
underestimated.
KIJO [Ki (Oni, Ogre) + Jo (Woman)]
Female demons of cold and cruel nature, who sow destruction and
murder wherever they go. When confronted with enemy, they kill
without a glimmer of mercy. Their outward appearance, most often,
is that of a female head on a bestial body. Some of them can be
quite beautiful if they choose to, but that beauty is of deadly
kind.
CHIREI [Chi (Earth) + Rei (Spirit)]
Spirits of Earth and Nature, who lived around humans since
the ancient times. Most of them have huge, powerfully built bodies
and possess incredible physical strength. But their magic is quite
low and in general they are not very warlike. Indeed, while nominally
a 'KI-ZOKU', they lack the fierceness common to that major-race, and
are much closer to YOUSEI in spirit. However, when challenged, they
will defend themselves with unequaled ferocity.
