Belgar, also known as the Oracle of Shadow in Heroes of Mana and the Masked Mage in Trials of Mana is a recurring character in Mana series.
Background
Shortly after helping Roget and crew defeating the Goddess of Doom, he met an unnamed woman and conceived Heath.
One day, Belgar came across a sickly young girl that couldn't even be saved with the power of light. The Oracle of Shadows turned to the forbidden reviving arts and used a forsaken spell called "Black Chant" in order to save the child. This sparked an obsession in his mind to cheat death, but his new dark powers were in vain, since he couldn't save the girl in the end.
His use of the forbidden arts was rejected by the Temple of Light, ultimately leading the Priest of Light to banish him from the Holy City. He also became horribly disfigured from repeated use of the forsaken spells and began to wear a mask to hide his scars. His obsession for the dark arts turned him evil, and with Wendel against him, Belgar started experimenting on his own body to test his reviving skills. He became immortal as a dark lich, seeking ever more power from the Benevodons and overthrow the Mana Goddess as a supreme ruler.
As the Masked Mage, he asked the assistance of Goremand to help him conquer the world and based his headquarters at the Mirage Palace.
History
Heroes of Mana
- “The Oracle of Shadows at Wendel. Prone to blaming himself whenever he encounters difficulties. This lends to a rather forceful personality that takes any measure to accomplish the task at hand.”
- —Notebook
During the events of Heroes of Mana, Wendel is overseen by two priests: the Priest of Light and the Priest of Dark or the Oracle of Shadows. Together, they were two halves of the same whole, akin to the concept of Tao.
Belgar is officially introduced at the end of chapter 5, Dragon Wings of Reunion where, despite doubting them at first, he decides to join Roget and crew after hearing the fall of Lowenburg and Minerva's kidnapping by Nevarl after hearing Larkbone's plea for help.
During the second act, he proves himself invaluable in the search of the remaining Mana Stones and Mana spirits.
Belgar is also present during the final confrontation against the Goddess of Doom in the Sea of Chaos, but ultimately decides to stay in Fa'Diel along with Alma, Falcon, Gauser, Loki, and Valda and watches as Roget, Yurchael, Gemière, Qucas, and D'Kelli board the Nightswan to explore the different worlds scattered in the fabric of realms. It is assumed that Belgar is one of the handful of people in Fa'Diel aware of the events that took place during the game, since his soul was not absorbed by Anise's mirror. He ultimately returned to Wendel and resumed his position as the Oracle of Shadows.
In a bonus mission, he accidently released Land Umber while trying to gain the power of earth for healing, and rather than learn from that, he instead decided to look into the power of darkness instead.
