Wagnard

"What is This Power?" - Wagnard

Wagnard (voiced by Jayce Reeves) is an evil Sorcerer and the Main Villain of the whole Lodoss Adventure for Aaron Matsuhiro and his friends. Wagnard is a dark wizard, and a worshipper of Lucifer, the Dark Lord of Pandemonium. He was originally a student of the magical academy in Valis (the same Slayn had attended), but was expelled for studying the dark arts of magic and cursed with a spell which restricted his ability to cast magic by inflicting severe pain whenever he does so. In time, however, Wagnard became mostly inured to the pain and managed to attain great power as a magician.

Despite following Beld, Wagnard's intentions are far worse, as he seeks to turn all the inhabitants of Forcelia, into Heartless. In the OVA, he attempts this by abducting the high elf Deedlit (for Maleficent), as high elves have near immortal life spans, and such energy is necessary to empower Lucifer. In the original story, and TV series, Wagnard tries to accomplish this task by abducting the priestess of Marfa and daughter of Leylia, Little Neese, the doorway to Naneel and avatar of Kardis. When Naneel is successfully summoned, Wagnard's plans are thwarted and he is turned into a Heartless.
