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.

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 his tactics and levies his scythe against the {{Hero 5}}'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 [[Madalena|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 [[Saber]] and expecting the cat to return to the wild. | ||
He is not seen again until the events of [[Knightmare Towers]], after the {{Hero 5}} defeats Kon and rescues his [[Heavenly Bride|wife]]. He reveals that the woman is of [[Zenithia]]n 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 rescue their father eight years hence. | He is not seen again until the events of [[Knightmare Towers]], after the {{Hero 5}} defeats Kon and rescues his [[Heavenly Bride|wife]].

The {{Hero 5}} 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 its full power. Ladja is looking for the eye in order to destroy it when he comes upon the hero, recognising him after many years. After a boss battle, he flees in order to warn [[Nimzo|his boss]] of the legendary hero’s arrival.

Ladja is seen again in [[Crocodilopolis]], where he kills off [[King Korol]], who was no longer needed by [[Nimzo]] after the reptile's defeat. He is encountered for the last time in [[Mt. Zugzwang]] where he strikes down and wounds [[Madalena]]. The {{Hero 5}} and his {{Party 5}} finally avenge [[Pankraz]]'s death, with Ladja being killed by Nimzo’s power shortly after being beaten in a boss fight. | ||
