Emperor Belos is the main antagonist of the Disney Channel 2020 animated series, The Owl House. He is an emperor who created the Coven System for categorizing magic into specific disciplines instituted by himself. He is the archnemesis of Luz Noceda and Eda Clawthorne. 

He was voiced by Matthew Rhys, who also played The Conductor in Infinity Train and Lloyd Vogel in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

Personality

According to Matthew Rhys on Twitter, he describes Belos as an omnipotent megalomaniac.

Appearance

The Emperor wears a mask with two long, upward-facing horns. His eyes are hollow through the mask creating the appearance of having no eyeballs. He wears a large cape with white and brown, as well as gold trim.

Biography

He was first mentioned at the end of "Covention". Belos is presumably The Emperor previously mentioned as being protected by the Emperor's Coven and who rules over the Boiling Isles. Kikimora mentions the Emperor's name to Lilith during a conference and that the Emperor has assigned Lilith in the capture of Eda in exchange for a 15200 dollar reward. Emperor Belos was first mentioned by Kikimora in "Convention".

In "Wing It Like Witches", he was mentioned by Lilith when she tells Eda that the Emperor has big plans for her.

In "Agony of a Witch", he fully appears as he waits for Lilith to capture Eda and threatens a severe punishment if she fails him again. He also appears when Lilith and Eda are battling each other.

In "Young Blood and Old Souls," Emperor Belos is revealed to have lied to Lilith about promising to cure her sister and is instead sentencing her to be petrified, a punishment usually reserved to the worst criminals. While it is publicly stated that she would be the first one to receive the sentence in 30 years, there are shots of more witches and demons petrified meaning that he had done so in secrecy. 

It is revealed that the Day of Unity involves the human realm and that Belos sought Eda for her key portal. When Luz and King arrive to rescue Eda alongside a redeemed Lilith, Belos fights against Luz. Despite him being more powerful, Luz succeeds at striking a blow, making a scratch in his mask to which he states his amusement. 

Forcing the young girl into making a choice of giving up the key portal or have Eda get transformed to stone, Luz gives him the case containing it, but she also craftly added fire glyphs to the case making it into a time bomb that detonates once she was out of range. He glares at Luz menacingly and Luz gives him a glance back.
