Gwenchaos

"We are the Four Sages of Liberia, the finest students of the White Master Morse. Mios, the Mage of Light and Octovas, the Mage of Fire, have already succumbed to my spells of darkness. You are the only one left Eisenbaha, Mage of Wind. Do you still doubt my power now?"

Gwenchaos (グエンカオス Guenkaosu) is the main antagonist of TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. He was once one of the Four Sages, the Sage of Earth, but was cast out after he betrayed the others and unsealed the forbidden ★Zahhak spell. He is the leader of the Gerxel Church and seeks to revive the Dark Dragon Gerxel.

He was originally a just man, married to Teeta, one of the chief priestesses of the Temple of Earth. However, a cruel king forced Teeta to take the form of the Earth Dragon Kranion to be used as a weapon. Teeta was unable to return to human form and was driven insane, being unable to determine friend from foe. She was banished to the remote mountains and Gwenchaos watched over her, observing as many men were sent to slay Teeta. Seeing the brutality of the men hunting Teeta caused Gwenchaos to gradually lose his faith in humanity. He began working to revive Gerxel both to purge humanity and to be reunited with his wife in death.

Gwenchaos eventually succeeds in gathering the four Shamans (Enteh, Katri, Neyfa, and Tia) and sacrifices them one by one, but is betrayed by Richard before he can sacrifice Tia. Regardless, he is possessed by Gerxel and forcibly transformed into Gerxel's body. After Gerxel's death, his and Teeta's souls are released by Miradona and ascend to the afterlife.

It should be noted Gwenchaos is never fought by the player, transforming into Gerxel before the opportunity arises. However, in the final chapter he does have a scripted fight with Richard, who he defeats.
