quote=Tarlonniel]Raphael is not Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles had the crown to begin with. He's the one who took it and squirreled it away in his vaults. To get it, Gortash and his allies broke into those vaults. The House of Hope is an entirely different place.
Your right. He did seal it, but that would be years before the game. It actually adds proof to my theory. If mephesto lost the crown to the dead 3, he may attempt to use us to get it back, withers does the same thing to some extent. He is a God. No reason to suspect otherwise for raphael
