==Story==

Bishop Ladja is first seen in the [[Ancient Ruins]], blocking a young {{Hero 5}} and Prince [[Harry]] from escaping, and easily defeats them in an unwinnable battle. Note that if the player somehow defeats Ladja in this battle, the game will carry on as if though the player lost. When Pankraz arrives, he summons [[Kon the Knight]] and [[Slon the Rook]] to kill him, but fail to harm the man. Ladja changes tactics and levels his scythe against the hero's neck, threatening to kill the boy if Pankraz resists any further. The doomed father is beaten senseless by Kon and Slon, and is slain by Ladja with Kafrizzle mere seconds after telling the boy that his mother still lives. Mocking Pankraz in death, Ladja notices a [[Gold ~~orb~~|peculiar bauble]] among the hero's possessions, and crushes it between his palms while uttering foreboding words of relief at its destruction. Their business finished, Ladja and his minions carry the boys off to Mount Azimuth as slave labor for constructing a temple for the [[Order of Zugzwang]], ignoring ~~Sabre~~ and expecting the cat to return to the wild.

He is not seen again until the events of [[Knightmare Towers]], after the hero defeats Kon and rescues his wife. He reveals that the woman is of Zenithian descent and is destined to bear the legendary hero, so he petrifies both of them to prevent this. Unbeknownst to him, she had ''already'' given birth to the [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|legendary hero]], who along with his [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|twin sister]] would eventually rescued their father eight years hence.

The ~~hero~~ and his children eventually encounter Ladja in the [[Talon Tower]], searching for one of the dragon eyes that can restore the castle of [[Zenithia]] to it's full power to destroy it. After a boss battle, he flees. He is seen again in the [[Crocodilopolis]], where he kills off [[King Korol]], who was no longer needed by [[Nimzo]] after the reptiles' defeat. He is encountered for the last time in [[Mt. Zugzwang]], where the hero and his party finally avenge Pankraz's death.
