Faustus is a scholar at the University of Wittenberg when he earns his doctorate degree.

He bargains away his soul to Lucifer in exchange for living 24 years during which Mephistopheles will be his slave. Faustus signs the pact in his own blood and Mephistopheles reveals the works of the devil to Faustus.
