Revision as of 21:25, 21 October 2021
What am I? Hungry for wealth, a king living to line his pockets? Hungry for power and glory, a king who merely feigns ultimate power? Or perhaps I am truly a king who controls all. I am none other than which is the most worthy. One that sits upon the throne that rules all Orsterra.
Pardis is a character in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. He is the main antagonist of the Master of All path, which follows the wealth, power and glory paths.
Profile
Appearence
Pardis is a corpulent elderly man with a large white beard. He wears a black robe covered by a long red cape and a dark crown on his head.
Personality
Even in his youth, Pardis has always been an ambitious and self centered man who truly believed he was the only one worthy of becoming the ruler of the continent of Orsterra. He rules his kingdom with an iron fist and sees all of his subjects as mere pawns that live only to do his biding. He's even been capable of beheading those who look at him in the eye instead of bowing down and has no qualms in taking out his own officers and even family to ensure that no one questions his rule.
Story

(I don't think this is where I should be going at the moment...) The following section contains potential story spoilers! |
At some point of his life, he acquired a magic ring that allowed him to control "wealth", "power", and "fame" magic rings.
Born as Osasuna, he was the second son of king Pardis II of Edolas, who at that time at conflict with the western tribes. He disagreed with his father's beliefs about the importance of the people above the king, which were also shared by his big brother Oswald. Because of that, Pardis II greatly favored Oswald as his successor to the throne and, in his death bed, asked him to keep Osasuna away from having any influence over the kingdom, as he saw evil hidden in his heart. However, right after Pardis II's passing, Osasuna poisoned Oswald and became the new king of Edolas, Pardis III.
The following years, Pardis would wage war against both the western tribes and the kingdom of Leeven. That war against Leeven cost both countries thousands of lives, until king Solon of Artinia managed to convince them to sign a non agression pact between the three countries. While this would stop the conflict between Edolas and Leeven, Pardis still led his army against the western tribes. During that conflict, Pardis would recruit officers to aid him such as the popular general Mahrez, commander Crauser and the enigmatic magician Gonska, who would act as his main adviser and enforcer in the shadows. He would also marry and have two daughters, Erika and Araune.
Years later, following Helminia, Titus, and Arguste's deaths at the hands of the Chosen One, Pardis acquired their magic rings that granted wealth, power and glory, and combined their power with his own magic ring. Once he acquired the fifth ring from the Chosen One, he would be able to become the undisputed ruler of Orsterra.
Pardis supervised general Mahrez's victories against the western tribes. His triumphs made the king allow him to marry princess Erika and become his successor to the throne. However, he would also see how much the people loved the general and how excited they were for him to become king. Meanwhile, he had the magician Gonska supplant Leeven's Prime Minister and manipulate the king to start conquering Orsterra, which caught the attention of Erika. The princess tried to convince Pardis to wait a few days before invading the western tribes, just in case Leeven wanted to attack Edolas while its army was away. Pardis didn't like her advise and got close to execute Erika's Au Pair Rembrandt for her insolence, but ended up sparing him after after Erika begged so.
The day of the final battle against the western tribes, Pardis wanted to go to the battlefield and see them fall with his own eyes. General Mahrez put the recently recruited Chosen One in charge of Pardis' protection in order to facilitate them an audience with the king. The Chosen One managed to defeat the enemies who tried to attack Pardis while Mahrez killed the enemy general, ending the war with victory for Edolas. After the war, Pardis took Mahrez to a hidden point of the canyon to congratulate him, only to stab him to death afterwards, claiming that Mahrez's popularity among the people had become a nuisance to him. The Chosen One witnessed the murder, but Pardis quickly incriminated them and had them imprisoned. The next day, he would be informed of their escape, but gave little importance to it.
Having dealt with the western tribes and Mahrez, Pardis put his plan to take over Leeven and Artinia into motion. The day of the meeting between him and the kings of Leeven and Artinia, he had Gonska convince King Leeven (in his Prime Minister disguise) to invade Artinia with half of his army while sending a messenger named Sero to the meeting with artinian king Solon to dispose of him. With the abscense of half of the Leeven army, Pardis easily invaded the Leeven capital and killed the king, but Sero failed his mission after being defeated by the Chosen One and their new allies, the leeven swordsman Shalal and the edolas swordsman L.
After conquering Leeven, Pardis led his army to invade Artinia, observing the battle from affar. While his forces clashed with Artinia's, he was ambushed by the Chosen One and L, but managed to quickly knock out the Chosen One before clashing with L, who revealed herself to be princess Erika, knowing the truth about Mahrez's death and wanting to dethrone Pardis to end the war. However, the princess was no match against the God of War, whose magic ring made him invulnerable against any attack. After defeating her daughter, Pardis' army managed to obliterate the Artinia army and force king Solon to retreat.
After that, Pardis had the princess charged for high treason and ordered her to be executed. However, he found a new obstacle to his plans: Princess Araune had reported his attack to both Leeven and Artinia, thus breaking the non agression pact signed under the Church of the Sacred Flame's supervision. Because of that, Pardis could be put on trial by the Pope and the other kings of Orsterra, with Solon as the accuser. Despite that, Pardis managed to be declared innocent by using technicalities and having Gonska, disguised as King Leeven, declare in his favor. Right after returning to Edolas, Pardis led Erika's execution and forced the Chosen One to helplessly watch, in order to sink their heart into despair until he could be able to get the fifth magic ring from them.
Pardis' and Gonka's plot would be discovered soon after that by Shalal, who revealed himself as the estranged son of King Leeven. With the help of the Chosen One and Princess Araune, Gonska was unmasked and defeated and Shalal became the new king of Leeven. Then, by combining the strength of Araune, the Chosen One, Leeven and Artinia, they managed to invade Edolas and attack Pardis' castle, where the Master of All, despite using the full power of his four magic rings, ended up being killed as a lonley monarch.
