Meanwhile, the Dragon Lord remains in his lair of Dragonsmaw, located in the Glass Desert, feeding on the depleting power of Mana to heal himself. The Crimson Wizard leads attacks on the castle of Valsena and plans to sacrifice the Altenian princess Angela to unseal the Mana Stone of Water. The Crimson Wizard manipulates Altena for the Dragon Lord and wages war against the country of Valsena, while the Darkshine Knight remains by his lord's side. It took me so long to regain my strength but now! I am the strongest of the gods! I was caught unaware by the Golden Knight's foolish attack and we both fell. She was with that silly Prince of Valsena and his useless knight. I remember a faerie that met a similar fate. They are in open conflict and they all try to fulfill this sinister scheme first and to get rid of their rivals at the first occasion. The Dragon Lord and the other two Great Evils: his Dark Majesty and the Masked Mage, plan to release the eight mighty Benevodons from the Mana Stones and become the new god of Fa'Diel. The Dragon Lord who remembered all too well Loki's immense skills, enslaved his dead soul and sealed it in a dark suit of armour, making his former enemy into one of his most dangerous and most devoted followers, the Darkshine Knight, general of the armies of monsters from Mavolia he was rising. With this, he was in position to plot again but this time from behind the scenes, planning to be fully reborn and become impossibly mightier than before. This partially revived him and gained him a powerful slave who could act in his stead. The Dragon Lord tempted the distraught wizard wannabe by offering him access to his incredible magical might in exchange of half of his life-force, corrupting him in the process. Sometime later, he met the Crimson Wizard, who had ran away from the Magic Kingdom of Altena due to his lack of magic. However, the Dragon Lord's spirit barely survived and retained some of his powers. Loki eventually fought the evil dragon and they both fell to their death in a bottomless pit. What remained of Pedda was destroyed in this war. Prince Richard, heir to the Grassland Kingdom of Valsena and his best friend and right-hand-man Loki the Golden Knight, who fought against Pedda, led the war against him. The Mana Goddess deemed him a big enough threat to send faeries assist his foes. The heroes stated at the end that they would have to deal with him after Anise is destroyed, unfortunately taking Pedda down with her.Īround four years later, the Dragon Lord led his tribe against the coalition that fought Pedda, invading Fa'Diel in turn. Yet, not even him could know that the boy king Inath was corrupted by the former Demon Queen Anise, who was using Pedda to return to power. The Dragon Lord likely expected Pedda to weaken the world he covets, to make his own attack easier. While never appearing in person, he lent his mighty dragon units to the Ancient Kingdom of Pedda in their bid to take over Fa'Diel. The Dragon Lord serves as a minor villain in Heroes of Mana, set nineteen years before Trials of Mana. Yet he is a very good manipulator, skilled in offering Faustian bargains to distressed people and to make people further his goals without knowing. And while he praises his foes' accomplishments, he is far too arrogant to regard them as a threat until it is too late, even after having experienced defeat before. While he most often appears collected, regal and quite sarcastic, he flies in violent rages when things do not go the way he wants.
He is also cruel, ruthless, relentless, haughty, hateful, wrathful, violent and vindictive. He is extremely greedy and power-hungry, trying to make everything his own, including people's power and skills by making them his servants willingly or not.
The Dragon Lord is arguably the most malevolent of the main villains, as he lacks the tragic past of the other two and his main agents are brainwashed souls instead of loyal followers. Yet, the reason behind his demonic nature is never explained, perhaps excessive greed or evil influence. The Dragon Lord is one of the last remaining great dragons, while the regular dragons (or wyrms) are much smaller and little more than feral beasts.Īlthough great dragons are wise and noble servants of the Mana Goddess (though they can be terrifyingly dangerous, as in the Mana Beast's case), he has considerable Dark Powers and influence over evil, more befitting of a demon from Mavolia, and is in direct conflict with the Archdemon.
