King [[Richard]] wage war against the Dragon Lord's ambitions to take over the world.

Seeing his prowess in battle, the Dragon Lord decided to revive Loki's body laying nearby and used his dark powers to turn him into the [[Darkshine Knight]]. Now with powerful new servants, the Dragon Lord decided to take advantage of his status as "dead" to run the scene from the shadows. He sent the Crimson Wizard and Darkshine Knight out to set the stage for his return in his plan to gain the power of the Benevodons and become a God.

The Dragon Lord remains in the shadows of his base deep within Dragonsmaw for most of the game. There, he instructs the Crimson Wizard and the Darkshine Knight to invade other nations and destroy the [[Mana Stone|Mana Stones]], opening the portal to the Sanctuary of Mana and gain the holy blade for himself. He masterminds the manipualtion of the [[Valda|True Queen]] in Altena by letting the Crimson Wizard orchestrate the invasion of Valsena. Meanwhile, he orders the Darkshine Knight to disrupt the life force of the [[Mana spirit|Elementals]] and active the power of the Mana Stones. Eventually, because of attacks also launched by the minions of the [[Masked Mage]] and the [[Prince of Mavolia|Dark Majesty]], all of the Mana Stones are broken. During this time, the heroes also saved the elemental spirits. They try to open a portal to the Sanctuary of Mana, but are unable to.

===Personality===
===Personality===
Like many rpg villains, the Dragon Lord is a cunning, callous, and calculating individual who's only goal is to overthrow any opposition preventing him from becoming a god-like entity. Unlike the [[Masked Mage]] or the [[Prince of Mavolia]], he doesn't have a tragic backstory explaining his behavior, and seems to be evil from the beginning. His only main motivation is to be power-hungry and to rule over the world.
===Abilities===
{{See Also|Mondoragon}}
In ''Trials of Mana'' the Dragon Lord is shown to use his psychic powers to communicate even in death, like he did with the Crimson Wizard. He is also capable of reanimating his own body should he has been provided with enough energy to do so. He can also share his powers with other individuals, like with the Crimson Wizard and the Darkshine Knight. After harvesting power through the Sword of Mana and the Benevodons, he is able to slay the Tree of Mana in the Sanctuary and transform back into his original draconic self. In his Mondoragon form, he is shown to possess herculean strength and able to cast a vast array of magical spells.
