He has been evicted from [[Palais de Léon]], likely due to his failure back in {{DQ4 Chapter 4}}, and now occupies the empty Castle [[Zamoksva]]. He has become astoundingly arrogant, and is disliked even by his subordinate [[Demon]]s. His intention, he says, is to enhance his body to be even more godlike than [[Psaro the Manslayer]], but he lacks the [[Armlet of Transmutation]] which allows him to use the full power of the [[Secret of Evolution]]. With the help of the {{Hero 4}}, {{Maya}} and {{Meena}} are able to finally defeat him. | ||
