Rubicante

==Summary==
Rubicante is the Archfiend of Fire and the leader of Golbez's Four Archfiends. Dubbed the "Autarch of Flame" he commands nearly unparalleled control over the power of fire. However, despite his antagonistic status and his indirect role in the transmogrification and subsequent death of Edge's parents, Rubicante possesses a certain chivalrous spirit, demanding nothing less than his foe's full power and healing them before battle.

Intelligence: The leader of the Four Archfiends and the Archfiend of Fire, Rubicante possesses nearly unparalleled mastery of fire, leading the invasion of the Kingdom of Eblan and burning it to the ground before the heroes are able to intervene. While he's chivalrous to a fault, healing the party before fighting them, he nevertheless proves an incredible challenge to them, with Edge noting that he is superior to any of them individually. Effortlessly setting entire battlefields ablaze with his signature Inferno attack, he repels his foes with massive blasts of fire while defending against magical attacks with his cloak. He is also pragmatic enough to take advantage of his cloak's properties, casting spells on it to heal himself while simultaneously damaging his foes.
Weaknesses: When his cape isn't being used, he's susceptible to Ice attacks. Rubicante is somewhat chivalrous, and will thus heal his foe of all of their injuries before battle.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Blizzara: Rubicante unleashes a shower of jagged ice projectiles to deal moderate ice-elemental damage to all foes. He can also place himself in the line of fire to absorb the energy behind it with his cloak, healing him as well.
*Firaga: Rubicante conjures numerous fireballs to rain down on his foes with sizable explosions, dealing heavy fire-elemental damage.
*Inferno: Rubicante's signature attack, in which he lays waste to the entire battlefield with massive waves of fire, dealing massive fire-elemental damage.
*Raise:Rubicante can resurrect those from the dead with his spell.
