User blog:Sweetwaifupillow/PE Proposal: King Godwyn

I decided to propose a villain from Dragon Quest IX. His name is King Godwyn. In a way, he’s the main villain.

History
As king of the Gittingham Empire, King Godwyn went on a brutal conquest that would result in the deaths of many, many people. Even if you surrendered to him, there was no guarantee that you would be spared. One person found that out the hard way when he sold out Corvus to him. His first victim was actually his own father.

On that subject, Celestrians weren’t safe either. They were sent to the dungeon to be tortured so that Godwyn could drain them of their power.

He eventually came back to life after Greygnarl killed him as part of Corvus’s plan, but the hero killed him once again.

He also murdered Aquila, but that’s not so evil by comparison.

Heinous Standard
Corvus wished to put an end to mortal life, but King Godwyn was the main reason he became evil. It’s not hard to see why he would hate humans after that.

It’s shown that not even his own followers are terribly fond of him. Goresby-Purrvis didn’t approve of him murdering his father, for example.

Redeeming Qualities
He murdered his own father. I’m sure he loved him dearly.

Final Thoughts
Corvus may be a threat to all mortal life, but I still find him more sympathetic than Godwyn.
