The Crimson Wizard is a secondary antagonist and boss in Trials of Mana.
Background
Born with the name Framaus, the boy who would become the Crimson Wizard was an Altenish warlock-in-training who, mocked by his peers, could not adequately wield magic. For this, he was eventually driven out of the kingdom. One day, however, he came upon the body of a dying Dragon Lord, who enticed him with the promise of infinite power in exchange for rendering his aid. The boy complied, and rendered unto the Dragon Lord half of his own life force, thus becoming the mightiest mage and one of the most feared men in the world. Now driven to madness, he seeks even more power to put an end to any who tormented him, even going as far as to manipulate his own queen.
