Dragon Quest VIII - Lord Rhapthorne

“ You shall taste the terror eternal. Even death shall offer you no respite. „ ~ Rhapthorne Rhapthorne (also known as Lord Rhapthorne) is the true main antagonist and final boss of Dragon Quest VIII. He is a powerful purple demon lord from the World of Darkness wielding his magical weapon known as the Sceptre of Rhapthrone. He remained imprisoned inside the cursed staff known as the Godbird Sceptre at the Trodain Castle, until an evil jester named Dhoulmagus who wanted to take over the kingdom stole the scepter and accidentally unleashed Rhapthorne's curse upon the kingdom while being possessed by him. His goal is to eradicate the Seven Sages' successors, and these actions shall be carried about involuntarily by anyone who bears the misfortune of possessing his cursed scepter. If his full power is restored, that is, if all descendants are finished; he will escape his prison and the Black Citadel, Rhapthorne's true headquarters buried within Neos, will rise.
