Dhoulmagus

71.55.25.196:

{{Character
|Name = Dhoulmagus
|Game = Dragon Quest VII
|Image = [[File:Dhoulmagus.jpeg]]
|Title = Evil jester
|Class = Villain
|Race = Human
|Age = Unknown
}}

'''Dhoulmagus''' is an important figure in [[Dragon Quest VIII]]. Until his defeat at the hands of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) |Hero]]'s party, he is apparently the player's central enemy in their journey. [[Rhapthorne|Lord Rhapthorne]], however, is the true villain of the game.

Dhoulmagus is a jester who came to Trodain castle. His deep desire to be the greatest magician of all time and resentment towards those who laughed at him fueled his breaking in to get the legendary scepter. After doing so, he was overwhelmed by Rhapthorne's power and made to do such dastardly things as his pawn. Possessed by Rhapthorne, he killed his first four victims: His former master Rylus, the swordsman Alistair, Abbot Francisco, and Mr. Golding, the casino owner. The Hero and party defeated him after a long chase, and for a while they thought their ordeals were finally over, until they discover he wasn't the true enemy and the secret of the mysterious sceptre plunges into an even darker plot.

In [[Dragon Quest IX]], he also appears as one of the Legacy Boss.

==Sir Leopold==

Sir Leopold is the pet dog of the magician Dominico.

==Evil Sir Leopold==

Evil Sir Leopold is Sir Leopold altered by the sceptre. He is a boss in Dragon Quest VIII. After Jessica was liberated from the sceptre's power, it took time for the party to realize its true nature. During that time, Leopold was possessed by the sceptre, allowing Rhapthorne to continue his killing spree. The possessed Leopold killed David and Marta, but was defeated before he was able to kill the Lord High Priest.

He was finally defeated in Savella Cathedral, but before the party could put an end to Rhapthorne's ambitions, Marcello took possession of the sceptre and accused the Hero and the party of killing the Lord High Priest and sentenced them and High Priest Rolo to life imprisonment on Purgatory Island.

Morrie

71.55.25.196:

Morrie is the man who owns the Monster Arena in Dragon Quest VIII. The heroes first encounter Morrie on the rooftop of his arena. Sensing something special in The Hero, Morrie sends him to capture three "infamous monsters" to deem The Hero worthy to enter his arena. Once the party has succeeded in making the captures, Morrie allows The Hero to compete in his Monstrous Pit on one condition: he must compete with GUSTO!

Morrie speaks with an Italian accent and his appearance is loosely based on Toriyama's own Mr. Satan/Hercule character from the famous Dragonball series. It is also revealed that his last name is Mozzarella through the announcer's introductions in the Rank S finals and that he is good friends with Torneko and Ragnar of Dragon Quest IV.

[[File:Placeholder|right|300px]]Clavius became king when his older brother Eltrio renounced his claim to the throne. With this, he was forced to fulfill the promise of peace left by his older brother. He has an extremely spoiled son in Charmles, with whom he is constantly displeased with. He originally asks Hero to help his son get the Argon Hearts in the trial (without knowing that Hero is his nephew, the son of Eltrio). In the original ending, he scolds the Prince for deception. In the special ending, he decrees that the Hero is the rightful groom since the Hero is Eltrio's son. Although he doesn't make the Hero the new prince, the pact is indeed sealed. The Hero is now heir to the throne of Trodain with peace between kingdoms.

Lord of the Dragovians

2010-08-19T05:15:58Z

71.55.25.196:

The most powerful member of the Dragovians. After the tragic events involving the Hero's parents, he started to believe that humans and Dragovians could never coexist, and thus he cast a spell in himself in order to remain forever in his dragon form. This made him lose control over his mind and begin draining the life energy from the rest of the Dragovian population.

Just when the remaining Dragovians were about to lose hope, because none of them could be able to stop their Lord, the party arrived in the Dragovian Sanctuary, and Chen Mui asks them for help.

After the party's first victory against him, the Lord of the Dragovians returns to his senses. Amazed and ashamed by the fact the same boy he and his people had estranged had saved his tribe from certain doom, he gives them the right to perform the Dragovian Trials: a series of battles against him in dragon form, where each victory allows access to one of the Dragovian treasures. Each time the Lord of the Dragovians is defeated, he morphs into an even stronger dragon for the following battle.

His six forms are the Vermillion Dragon, the Emerald Dragon, the Silver Dragon, the Gold Dragon, the Darksteel Dragon, and the Divine Dragon. In the final Dragovian Trial, the Hero must beat all six dragon forms in a row, and then he must confront the final form, the Ultimate Dragon. Even in his weakest form, the Vermillion Dragon, the Lord of the Dragovians reveals himself as an opponent even more challenging than any other in the game, including Rhapthorne himself.

As an homage to the original game, the Lord of the Dragovians bears a striking resemblance to the Dragonlord of the first Dragon Quest game, as noted when the dragon stands upon his hind legs.

Princess Medea

'''Princess Medea''' is the courageous daughter of [[King Trode]] and the princess of the [[Kingdom of Trodain]]. She was cursed by [[Dhoulmagus]] to have the form of a horse.

She is the only one of three in the castle that were not petrified, the others being Trode and Hero. When in [[Pickham]], she is stolen, sold to Red, and returned for the Venus' Tear.

It was thought that she and Trode would be returned to normal after Dhoulmagus was defeated, but as it turned out, he was not the problem. Later, she and her father were returned to nornal when [[Rhapthorne]] was defeated. Unlike Jessica, she is the classical maiden.
Medea was renowned throughout the land for her loveliness and, even as a horse, she enchanted people with her exceptional beauty. Only those with keen supernatural power were able to perceive her true nature.

Eventually, the journey led to a mystical spring, from which the waters were able to disrupt the curse. By drinking from them, she was able to return to human form temporarily. She also developed the ability to communicate telepathically with the Hero, but only when both of them were asleep.

Despite the engagement to Prince Charmles of Argonia, she harbored strong feelings for the Hero, who was also her childhood friend. She eventually married the Hero after he had been accused of kidnapping her. In the special ending sequence of the game as decreed by King Clavius, the Hero is the rightful groom.

Seven Sages

2010-08-19T05:02:53Z

71.55.25.196: /* Heirs of the Great Sages */

[[File:Placeholder|right|300px]]The seven beings that stopped the Lord of Darkness, [[Rhapthorne]], from taking over the [[World of Light]]. With the help of [[Empyrea]], they trapped Rhapthorne in the sceptor.

==Heirs of the Great Sages==
In the distant past, the Godbird assisted the Seven Sages in creating the Godbird Sceptre and sealing away the demon Rhapthorne within it. The Sages tried to make certian that Rhapthorne could never rise again. They tied the power of there seal to that of there blood lines. So long as one of there heirs lived on, the seal would remain.

David, a descendant of one of the Great Sages who is the devoted, obsequious servant of Dominico. He comes across as pitiable and naive at first. At first it was believed by all that Dominico was a sage decendant, that was however proven false. That he tolerates such demeaning treatment from Dominico indirectly leads to his murder by Leopold.

The seven people who helped Empyrea seal away Rhapthorne into the Godbird Sceptre...
*'''Kupas:''' Sage of the Green Orb. A powerful magician, he became friends with an elf girl and a Gigantes after he found them unconscious. Together they founded the city of Tryan Gully, a place where monsters, humans, and elves alike all lived together in peace. Because their life spans are far greater than humans', the elf and the Gigantes are still alive to this day. Before his death, Kupas asked them to carry out his wish to never let anyone forget how Rhapthorne terrorized the world. His true heir is David. Realizing how easy it would be for Rhapthorne to target his descendants, Kupas charged his companion and his companion's descendants to hide his bloodline. Kupas conferred his magical power to his friend and family in order to protect his own descendants from discovery. Through time, that charge was forgotten. Kupas' plan to fool Rhapthorne also failed, as Rhapthorne was immediately able to recognize David as the true holder of the bloodline rather than Dominico, the descendant of whom Kupas charged to protect the true blood.
*'''Golding:''' Sage of the Yellow Orb. He was a very able fighter and considered the mightiest of the seven sages. His heir is Mr. Golding.
*'''Alexander:''' Sage of the Blue Orb. He was skilled in Sword fighting and Magic. Alistair inherited the swordsmanship and Jessica the magical prowess. Although they are both descended from Alexander, Alistair was chosen as holder of the bloodline.
*'''Kadan:''' Sage of the Red Orb. A renowned scholar, his descendants are Marta and her son Marek, though Marta is the chosen holder of the bloodline.
*'''Gozo:''' Sage of the Purple Orb. One of the greatest sorcerers who ever lived, his descendant is Rylus.
*'''Regnar''': Sage of the Silver Orb. He was revived from death in order to aid the other sages. He is closer to the Goddess than anyone else, and it was he who named the Godbird Empyrea. His descendant is the Lord High Priest.
*'''Eagus:''' Sage of the Gold Orb. He was the youngest of all sages at an age of six, and foretold that Rhapthorne would return someday. He also addresses the party after they break through the barrier guarding Rhapthorne. His descendant is Abbot Francisco.
And their decendants

'''Master Rylus:''' Dhoulmagus's former master. As a renowned magician, he was the first person King Trode and the team sought out for guidance. Unfortunately, he died before the beginning of the game as a result of arson on Dhoulmagus' part.

'''Alistair Albert:''' Jessica's older brother and Alexander's descendant. Alistair was protector of Alexandria and the East Tower. One day, the door to the Eastern Tower was found open. Patrolling up to the top floor, he was confronted by Dhoulmagus, who had immobilized him with magic. Unable to draw his sword and defend himself, Alistair was quickly slain by Dhoulmagus' hand.

'''Abbot Francisco:''' A descendant of Eagus and childhood friend of the Lord High Priest, he was the one who raised Marcello and Angelo after they lost their families, among many lost and displaced orphans. Abbot Francisco was murdered on the second floor of his living quarters in Maella Abbey by Dhoulmagus.

'''Mr. Golding:''' Golding's descendant, Mr. Golding was also an able fighter who took down a troll with his bare hands. He was the owner of the casino until he was murdered. Mr. Golding was killed by Dhoulmagus behind his upstairs couch.

'''David:''' Descendant of Kupas. Like all of Kupas's descendants, David was living in Tryan Gully under the care of the Elf and the Gigantes who founded the city with his ancestor long ago. David travelled from Tryan Gully all the way to Arcadia and collapsed. Dominico took him in as his servant and mistreated him, unaware of his responsibility to protect him from Rhapthorne. David was killed by Sir Leopold near his cage.

'''Marta:''' An old herb doctor from the Orkutsk mountains. She was killed by Sir Leopold outside her cottage.

'''The Lord High Priest:''' The highest authority in the world's religion. He was killed by Marcello shortly after Sir Leopold was defeated.

Empyrea

2010-08-19T05:00:31Z

71.55.25.196:

[[Image:Nature-empyrea.jpg]]&nbsp

Also known as Ramia from Dragon Quest III, Empyrea is referred to as the Godbird. She has the power to travel between worlds. The seven sages crafted the Godbird Scepter under her instruction. When Rhapthorne attempted to open the gate between the World of Light and the World of Darkness, Empyrea used all her power to seal the gate, losing her ability. Her shadow in the World of Light creates a portal to the World of Darkness called the "Dark Eye".

Empyrea's first encounter with the party was when they traveled to the World of Darkness in search for her advice. There they discovered that her egg was stolen by a monster called Gemon, and thus she has been forced to attack the nearby village of Empycchu.

The party agreed to infiltrate the Godbird's Eyrie where the egg was being kept hostage, but during the battle to recover it, Gemon sacrificed himself to destroy the egg. Empyrea's child, who died before birth, appeared as a spirit before the party and decided to aid in their quest, bestowing them the power to fly through the skies, allowing them to reach places of their world inaccessible by land or sea.

Empyrea plays a major role in the game's final battle. Not only does she recover the Godbird's sceptre, allowing the party to invoke the power of the seven sages' spirits to break the barrier protecting Rhapthorne, but she also carries them on her back throughout the entire fight.
