Oh boy, it was one of these sorts. Ideo could feel a headache coming on, and predictably massaged his forehead with his gloved hand.
"What I can say on shadows is only conjecture, it's not my department. However, demons are fragments of the gods of old, in a sense, that feed from humans in some way. It's not quite so simple as that, but..."
With a shooing motion, Ideo nudged Urataros away from the console and clacked away, bringing up a picture of Thor. Explaining things would at least take his mind off the growing ulcers in his stomach.
"Thor, god of thunder in Norse mythology. There are many 'Thors' here that are classed as demons, because they feed from human emotions. Meanwhile..." He turned back around, to face him. "Thor is also capable of being a persona- because a persona comes from the collective will of humanity. Different regions, interpretations, and beliefs can cause a Thor persona to be different from person to person. It all depends on the user."
And then Ideo narrowed his eyes, scoffing. "And that is why the Anoli are attacking- they see those without the affinity for persona to be 'weak' and want to wipe them out. Such genocide, they believe, will bring about a new evolutionary era of mankind. Frankly, I think they're just power-hungry."
