Geshtar

Geshtar is a general of the Vandole Empire and a major antagonist in the RPG video game Secret of Mana.

History
Geshtar first encounters the party when they return the stolen Mana Seed of Water to the Water Palace. Because of the breach of Undine's magic, Geshtar was able to attack the temple with his soldiers and monsters. Taking Luka hostage, Geshtar threatens to kill her unless the heroes to let him break the seal on the Water Seed. If the party tries to fight him, he swats them aside. If they comply, he spares Luka's life but sets his monster pet, the dangerous Jabberwocky, loose against them.

Geshtar later appears when he invades the Republic's sandship in Kakkara Desert. Geshtar dons his first Mech Armor to fight the party, but is defeated and forced to escape.

When the party confronts Emperor Vandole in the Imperial Castle, Geshtar asks the Emperor for a second chance to fight them and faces off against them on the rooftop in an upgraded Mech Armour, but is defeated again. Fatally wounded, Geshtar sets the castle on fire to take the party down with him, but the party is saved by King Truffle along with Flammie.

After the Emperor is betrayed and killed by Thanatos and Fanha, and Fanha herself is defeated by the party, Thanatos reveals he converted Geshtar into an undead cyborg called the Grim Golem Mech Rider and sends him out to fight them. The heroes defeat Geshtar again and put him down for good, freeing him from his forced conversion.
