==Characteristics==
Balzack possesses several qualities of a typical villain: arrogant, dishonest, immoral, and murderous. These traits are shown by his ruthless betrayal and murder of Mahabala. It becomes evident throughout the game that Balzack is loyal to no one but himself. After supposedly achieving the pinnacle of the Secret of Evolution, Balzack indicates that he plans on usurping Psaro the Manslayer, just as he did to his previous master. Even his fellow demons dislike him. Marquis de Léon took the chance to separate himself from Balzack when the opportunity presented itself. Balzack's minions expressed no sadness upon his death. Even Psaro, who normally does not display cruelness towards his allies and underlings, does so for Balzack. He impresses punishment of death upon him for failures (according to Marquis de Léon's dialogue after his initial defeat), something he normally does not do, and uses him as a test subject for an experiment expected to fail.
While he appears to be a pallet-swap of [[Night clubber|the Night clubbers]] and [[Pruslas]] in his "Baalzack" form, the ''Monsters'' games show that he is larger than the former while smaller than the latter, taking up two spaces.

Even his fellow demons dislike him. Marquis de Léon took the chance to separate himself from Balzack when the opportunity presented itself. Balzack's minions expressed no sadness upon his death. Even Psaro, who normally shows compassion and kindness towards his allies and underlings, hates Balzack enough to impress punishment of death upon him for his failures (according to Marquis de Léon's dialogue after his initial defeat) and use him as an experimental subject even though he expected the experiment to fail.
