Graven

Graven is the main villain of the Conan (2007) video game. He is a powerful sorcerer that desires to take over the world and obtain ultimate power for himself no matter what the cost.

History
Long ago Graven was a mortal sorcerer that came to desire immortality to the point he was willing to sacrifice his many children to gain it. Only one child was able to escape his madness. Eventually Graven had been able to imprison the gods of the ancient world inside his body but even he still lusted for even more power and to use his magic to create a powerful curse known as the Black Death so he could recreate the world in his image. Still despite such he also desired to kill the daughter, A'kanna, that escaped him in hopes of completing his twisted desires. However at some unknown point we was sealed away and transformed into a statue-like form as punishment for his crimes.

Unfortunately this prison wouldn't last forever as he is at some point unintentionally freed by Conan whom was in search for adventure and treasure. Once freed Graven sees Conan and cursed the barbarian's armor before teleporting Conan away and scattering the armor across the corners of the world. Once he is faced for the final battle to decide the fate of the world he tries to claim he merely serves the his gods only for Conan to point out what he is doing is all for personal gain. Once this is said he says that the gods are forced to serve his will and soon Conan and all other things will serve him for eternity. After a long battle Conan finally is able to critically hurt Graven and cast him into the ocean. As the sorcerer is falling he uses a tendril to grab the barbarian in a last attempt to kill him. As they continue to fall Conan thrust his sword through Graven's chest finally killing the vile man. However now that his gods are freed from his control revive him to reveal that while he was right they were angry it was not at the world but for him trapping them and using their power for his own gain. As a fitting punishment they decide to make him an immortal with the intention of torturing him for all eternity my to his horror.

Personality
Graven is a man whom is absolutely terrified of death and would stop at nothing to cheat it to the point he'd happily kill his own children in order to obtain immortality. Despite being afraid of dying he has an insatiable desire to spread death across the world and gain even more power. He claims his actions are due to the gods he has imprisoned are angry at the world and he is doing what they want but it is obvious this is a weak excuse he uses and solely does everything for his own twisted desires. He points out that the Black Death will spread and once it does he will use his powers to recreate the world as he see's fit where all life will serve him for eternity. Ultimately he is shown to be a remorseless psychopath that only cares for himself with no actual loyalty towards family or his gods.

Powers
Graven is a powerful sorcerer whom long ago was able to absorb the gods and utilize their power for his own goals. He seems to be able to create life in the form of minions mad of a black substance and enchanting armors to carry out his bidding. He seems to be able to transform to some degree and create tendril along with minions. It is also heavily implied he has a form of immortality due to sacrificing so many of his children though it isn't absolute as he was able to be killed by having a swords shoved through his chest.
