No, it's not Mephiles. It's the King of Dukes. He could've just sealed Eblis inside him, and hope Eblis could die with him, but NOPE, instead he sealed him inside his only daughter. What a cruel fate! If the vessel that Iblis is sealed in dies, then Iblis is freed. He had no choice. But he's still responsible for the screwing of her life. He was in charge of the Solaris project.

I hate to sound like a troll, but no, that isn't true. It was never officially stated in the game. I should know. I watched an entire PLAYTHROUGH and several in-depth reviews of that game, and nowhere in the game does it state "The Vessel that contains Iblis will release Iblis upon its demise." Besides, if this was true, then they would've started work on a better containment, seeing as how Elise is in no way immortal and therefore is only postponing the inevitable. Also, Elise "dies" in the game, and before Sonic goes back in time to stop her from dying, Iblis is simply nowhere to be found. The Duke could've easily sealed Iblis inside himself, and let Iblis die with him. Then maybe it's like a Tailed Beast. Ity dies, then ressurects later on. I highly doubt Mephiles went through the trouble to make Elise cry in the final moments of her life, but Elise was dead, and somehow Iblis went free.
