Changes: Melfice

Revision as of 04:17, 20 July 2010

Melfice is the brother of Ryudo and one of the antagonists of Grandia II. He is not originally evil, but is posessed by the Horns of Valmar, which manifests in the single horn protuding from his forehead.

Melfice is elegant and slightly peculiar. A talented and intelligent young man left corrupt by his own genius. He is often referred to as the Bringer of Ruination for he leaves nothing but corpses in his wake of chaos.

Story

Youth

Melfice grew up with Ryudo on the Isle of Swordsmen, raised by the Village Chief following the loss of their parents. Training in the way of the sword, Melfice became the best swordsman the village had ever seen, inspiring Ryudo, Gatta and the entire village. Eventually he became engaged to the Village Chief's daughter, Reena.

One day the sword upon which the town was built began to create earthquakes, and in investigating the disturbance, Melfice's fiancee found a Piece of Valmar sealed near the sword. When she failed to return, Melfice went after her. The young Ryudo, having secretly followed him, then witnessed Melfice, armed with the sword, murder reena in front of him and leave without explanation. Melfice's fiancee had in fact been posessed by the Horns of Valmar, and when he killed her, Melfice himself became posesed. From that point onwards, he is little more than a host for the Horns of Valmar. Ironically, in seeking more power to destroy evil, Melfice became evil himself.

Later Events

He responsible for the events in Roan's kingdom - including the possession of Tio by the Claws of Valmar - and the reason why Mareg first joins the hero's team.

In the Cyrum Kingdom he convinces the King (Roan's father) that beyond the Gate to Darkness (in the Castle's basement) lies hope. After the heroes defeat Tio, he attacks the King, leading to his incapacitation. Apparently his strongest attack was the Wailing Soul Slash which he used on Ryudo to throw him off balance. With Ryudo weakened Melfice escapes and rushes back to his home village waiting for Ryudo to come after him for the final battle

He is eventually defeated by the heroes and dies repentant, thanking Ryudo for saving him. However, the Horns of Valmar depart from him and enter Ryudo instead.

Personality

You could say, more or less, he got two personalitys. Before he got Possesed by the Horns he was a kind and friendly young man who seeked Power to fight the evil. As the possesed Melfice he is an cold and arrogant killer who just seeks joy in destroying and killing.

Abilities and Weaponry

He fights with the sacred sword the village poeple beliefed in, as their Idol. Besides that he got a regenarator which casts spells to Support him.
