Scion (Red Earth)

== Summary ==
Scion is the main antagonist and final boss of Red Earth. Once a young magician who pursued the ultimate knowledge, his life was changed forever the day he found an ancient text foretelling the incoming end of the world by the hands of an evil god. Scion put all his knowledge and effort into trying to prevent the catastrophe, but instead he accidentally summoned that very entity and ended up being taken over by it. Twisted in body and mind, he convinced himself that mankind had to be replaced by a superior race of his creation, and it was his duty to wipe them out of the planet.
Scion went as far as founding his own country, the Varuda empire. Its forces were made unstoppable by fierce beasts created through magic, while Scion personally took care of swaying the wicked of heart to his side and corrupting valiant individuals into subservient monsters. Consequently, the entire world was rapidly forced under his rule and turned into a chaotic wasteland.
Just when all hope seemed lost, a hero rose against all the odds and moved against the sorcerer. Scion finally settled in the flying castle of Darminor, and there he waited the ultimate battle for the fate of the world.All About War-Zard - Valdoll's Profile

|-|Scion=
*Perish Lightning: Scion fires a beam of electric energy from his cane.
*Forbidden Viper: Scion summons three giant snakes that crawl towards the opponent while phasing through the ground.
*Merciless Sentinel: Scion sends Misery and Despair to bite, tackle or flail the opponent. Alternatively, he can order them to attack with their fire, lightning, ice or poison breath; the latter two also freeze and stun the opponent temporarily. Even though the dragons can use only one element at a time, Scion is able to shift them at will. This technique remains unchanged when Scion transforms into his true form.
*Throes Solition: Scion manifests a sword in front of him, which causes several giant blades to erupt from the ground and the ceiling. Alternatively, Scion can make them burst out only from the ground but in greater numbers.
