Wizeman the Wicked

**Wizeman the Wicked**, also known as **Wizeman**, is the creator, leader, lord, and king of evil creatures called the Nightmarens and primary antagonist of the *NiGHTS* series. As the supreme master, ruler, and creator of the world of bad dreams simply called Nightmare, Wizeman fully desires to destroy Nightopia and recreating it in his own image. To achieve this, he created the other Nightmarens to steal the Ideya, which would thereby eliminate Nightopia from existence.

## Personality

Wizeman is the cruel creator and dictator of Nightmare and fancies himself a god. He despises light and good; he shall stop at nothing to destroy Nightopia and spread darkness to everything. He has no such feelings as sympathy or compassion; if his creations displease him, Wizeman has no qualms about destroying them (such as crushing Donbalon in his hand, sending Bomamba fall down into the bottom of the deepest depths of the world of Nightmare and towards oblivion). Even Reala is not spared from Wizeman's wrath, being insulted and threatened on a regular basis despite being Wizeman's strongest underling and "right-hand man".

He refuses to accept NiGHTS' free will and ability to act against him. Instead of destroying NiGHTS, Wizeman tries again and again to capture it and take back what is "his". Wizeman's patience ran out and he intended to remove NiGHTS' mind and replace it with a more obedient one.

Wizeman is also difficult to deal with. Even after being defeated by NiGHTS, he proclaims that as long as evil exists in the hearts of humans, he and his creations can never be destroyed. Only a Visitor with all their Ideya and complete courage and faith in themselves can drive Wizeman from their dreams.

Wizeman takes delight in the nightmares of others, especially if he causes such bad dreams to happen. He enjoys spreading dread and horror. Wizeman hates goodness and light. He does not like it when NiGHTS continues to defect and oppose him.

He and his nightmarish creations always prey upon Visitors (dreamers), and seeking out their Ideyas. He despises both happiness and freedom.

Wizeman always views the Nightmarens not only as his slaves, but also as his "children".
