![]() This causes the remaining Hyland and Rolance soldiers to team up with Sorey against the dragon and leads to the war being cut short. Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: He imprisoned a Seraph in the middle of a battlefield to turn him into a dragon and help wreck the world.Names to Run Away From: The Lord of Calamity.Magically Inept Fighter: Much like the human party members, Heldalf cannot use Seraphic Artes outside of Armatization.While both of them are apparently unaware of this, Heldalf seems to realize the similarity between Sorey and Selene in his last moments. Luke, I Am Your Father: The manga heavily implies that he is Sorey's father.King of Beasts: He's more or less a humanoid lion, having the distinctive mane and tail, along with claws. ![]() It is implied that he is also reaching out to Sorey specifically because on some level he recognizes him as his son. He failed to realize that even if Sorey joined him and became a Hellion he would still oppose him since Hellions are fully capable of hating and opposing each other. I Just Want to Have Friends: The girls discuss in a skit during Alisha's story that his attempts to convince Sorey to join him were due to his feelings of loneliness and seeking someone to be his companion.Fusion Dance: He armatizes with Maotelus, becoming a dragon with a lion's face.Four-Star Badass: Even before turning into a hellion, he was a powerful enough general in Rolance to be granted the Lion's Howl arte.Instead, it was a slow and even worse series of events ranging from his family being murdered, to him being unable to kill himself that shaped him into hating the world. It wasn't a single moment or event that made Heldalf the monster he is now. Freudian Excuse: Surprisingly Averted.Expy: Of Ganon, being the animal themed Antichrist Big Bad with ties to a god, and was made the Big Bad through a curse.His words as Sorey walks over to end his suffering were all about how striking him down would make him the next Lord of Calamity only to be mad and baffled at how he failed to turn. Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Due to the years he suffered from the curse and eventual transformation into the Lord of Calamity, Helfdalf lost the ability to see anything good in the world beyond hatred and darkness.Elemental Powers: Able to wield the four primary elements, presumably as a result of having consumed Seraphs who possessed them.Dark Is Evil: His design involves a lot of black and purple, and he's the Big Bad of the game.Dark and Troubled Past: Like most Tales villains, he has his reasons for doing what he does.Curse: His abandoning Camlann was the reason the previous Shepherd ended up cursing him, driving him mad by grief and despair until he turned into the Lord of Calamity.His power is also so massive he corrupts anyone with any bit of malevolence and they instantly become a Hellion. The Corrupter: He puts Sorey through all kinds of hell in order to turn him into a Hellion.He retains the position for the entire story, unlike the villains of some other Tales games. Big Bad: He's largely responsible for the spread of the miasma and Hellions throughout the world.Bare-Fisted Monk: Uses his fists along with his claws as his primary way of attacking.Archnemesis Dad: The manga implies that Heldalf is Sorey's father.It's to the point where one of his attacks in his One-Winged Angel actually name drops Satan himself. The Antichrist: He's the resident force of evil that opposes Sorey's Messianic Archetype. ![]() ![]() Animal Motifs: Lions, from his appearance to possessing the iconic arte Beast, which is renamed "Lion's Howl".However the Played With aspect is that Heldalf seems to not agree with the plan and merely followed the orders given. ![]() The anime instead has him and his forces at the village, with his superiors revealing it was a Xanatos Gambit to draw out Hyland into attacking. In the game the destruction of Camlann was less of his fault and more of Contrived Coincidence, seeing as Hyland attacked after he and his forces had left the village, and his choice to leave it to its fate is more of a pragmatic reason than anything.
