Rhapthorne was born in the [[World of Darkness]], subjugating it with an onslaught of loyal followers and overwhelming magical force. Rhapthorne's ambition drove him to attempt to invade the [[World of Light]] as well, bringing him into conflict with the [[Seven Sages]] and [[Empyrea]] the Godbird. The battle between the two forces nearly rent the world of darkness asunder, but the forces of light proved victorious and the demon was slain. Fearing that Rhapthorne would be revived in the future and menace the world once again long after their deaths, the [[Seven Sages]] split his soul from his body and sealed them away to prevent his resurrection.

Fearing that Rhapthorne would be revived in the future and menace the world once again long after their deaths, the [[Seven Sages]] split his soul from his body and sealed them away to prevent his resurrection. His lifeless body was sealed within a massive rock on a craggy atoll that would one day become the Holy Isle of [[Neos]], where it was chiseled by the [[Seven Sages|Sage]] Alexander into a statue of the [[Goddess]] to avoid being tampered with by [[human]]s. [[Empyrea]] and the [[Seven Sages|Sages]] created a prison for Rhapthorne's soul in the form of the [[Godbird sceptre]], a tall staff that would be entrusted to the royal family of Castle [[Trodain]] and remain guarded for centuries. | ||
Rumors of the staff began to circulate the world in the intervening years, developing into a legend that it possesses incredible magical might that could turn the most humble dabbler into a powerful sorcerer. This is what drew the attention of Dhoulmagus, the failed student of Master Rylus of [[Farebury]]. Posing as a wandering jester, [[Dhoulmagus]] infiltrates the castle and steals the staff. Rhapthorne seizes this importunity and takes full advantage of the overwrought bitterness within the man, testing him by transforming King [[Trode]] and Princess [[Medea]] into mockeries of themselves when they attempt to stop him as a test before placing a curse on Castle [[Trodain]] that turns the inhabitants into plants and wraps the structure in a wall of immense thorns to prevent anyone within with knowledge of the sceptre's menace from following him.

Rhapthorne's killings earned him several powerful foes in the forms of [[Jessica Albert]] and [[Angelo]], whose brother and foster father were assassinated by [[Dhoulmagus]] respectively. The mage and priest would join the cursed King and his {{Party 8}} as the pursued [[Dhoulmagus]] across several continents. The jester's rampage would be put to an end inside the depths of the {{Dark Ruins}} in the northwestern island of the world, but {{Jessica}} would place her hands on the sceptre after the battle and become Rhapthorne's new vessel. Though still carrying strong negative feelings over the murder of her brother, {{Jessica}} is unable to be fully controlled by Rhapthorne and avoids killing a descendant herself. When confronted by the {{Party 8}} in the city of [[Arcadia]] {{Jessica}} loses her grip on the staff, which is retrieved by a dog named [[Sir Leopold]]. Being an animal, Rhapthorne is able to fully possess the hound and continues his rampage until [[Leopold]] is killed in battle against the {{Party 8}} in [[Savella Cathedral]]. | Rhapthorne's killings earned him several powerful foes in the forms of [[Jessica Albert]] and [[Angelo]], whose brother and foster father were assassinated by [[Dhoulmagus]] respectively.

[[Marcello]] is strong willed enough to resist being manipulated by Rhapthorne, but when defeated in battle he becomes too mentally exhausted to continue and becomes fully possessed. With the final descendant killed, Rhapthorne unseals his body on [[Neos]] and summons the [[Black Citadel]] to the [[World of Light]]. The {{Party 8}} invades the citadel with the aid of [[Empyrea]], and defeats Rhapthorne in the heart of the fortress. Refusing to die so soon after his resurrection, Rhapthorne absorbs the magic contained within the citadel and becomes a colossus protected by in impenetrable barrier. He then summons all of his forces from the world of darkness and commands them to besiege all around them, replacing the normal encounters for the remainder of the game. | ||
When the party gathers [[Six Orbs|seven legendary orbs]] to allow the [[Seven Sages]] to weaken Rhapthorne's barrier, they ride upon Empyrea's back and channel their power into replicas of the Godbird sceptre to shatter the shield. The climactic battle in the high skies ends with the heroes victorious and Rhapthorne's soul completely eradicated, with the curse he laid upon Castle [[Trodain]] and its people fading shortly after. | When the party gathers [[Six Orbs|seven legendary orbs]] to allow the [[Seven Sages]] to weaken Rhapthorne's barrier, they ride upon Empyrea's back and channel their power into replicas of the [[Godbird sceptre]] to shatter the shield.
