Thanatos resurfaces yet again after the party made its way to the [[Mana Temple]] by taking an alternate route going deep into the [[Underground City]], the [[Grand Palace]], then all the way to the Mana seed of wood where they discover a lifeless emperor lying on the altar. This turns out to be a ruse by the old sorcerer who used the Emperor to revive the Mana Fortress and double-crossed him to keep its ultimate power for him all alone. He flees the premises, leaving [[Fanha]] to dispose of the heroes as she sees fit. After vanquishing the general, the trio come accross with an empty shell of what supposted to be Geshtar, as Thanatos used ancient magic to create a living machine from his decaying body. Slaying the mechanical being causes the party to realize that what remains of the Empire activated the Mana Fortress, making the whole continent sink into the ocean again.

Dyluck is finally found deep within the Mana Fortress under Thanatos' spell yet again. The evil sorcerer reveals that his own body has reached its limit and needs another worthy vessel to house his spirit. As he couldn't take a normal human because his earthly envelope would tear apart, he went on a search for a human born in the shadow of darkness every few decades. It happens that Dyluck's body is one of them and is capable of augmenting his powers beyond comprehension. While the young soldier's powers were sealed as a child, he is no more than a puppet to Thanatos now and will be housing his evil soul and using the Mana Fortress to rule the world. The magic knight is suddently growing weaker by the minute and must now inhabit his new vessel before collapsing. Primm then lunges towards Dyluck as a way to prevent his possession going further attacking the evildoer in the process. The latter's body vanishes almost instantly but unfortunately, Thanatos's soul has become one with the major's body. Gloating about his newfound vessel, the possessed Dyluck tries to further his modus operandi, but suddently finds himself unable to do anything. An otherworldly but familiar voice resonates across the room, telling Primm to listen to it as it is Dyluck's spirit. His echo says that he cannot speak for too long since Thanatos's energy is too strong, but he knows a way to defeat the sorcerer. He reveals to the party that Thanatos was once an ancient sorcerer who sold his soul to [[Maviola]] in exchange for eternal life. While his spirit became eternal, his body slowly decayed and he must periodically find a new suitable host to possess. With each new body, his spirit grows ever darker as it feeds on hatred and destruction. Dyluck's spirit then apologizes to Primm, as he cannot join her in the mortal realm anymore and entrust Randi to take care of her. As he finishes his speech, Dyluck uses his last bit of strength to destroy his body, leaving Thanatos without a host and revealing his true [[Dark Lich|face]]. Desperate to find an new host, the dark entity heads for the heroes in vain as he is eventually defeated.

The Mystic Knight is shown to be mainly power-hungry and self-absorbed throughout the game. More comfortable from behind the scene, He is usually seen playing the mastermind while letting his underlings do the dirty work for him. In fact, he has no qualms in betraying the Empire and using them as he sees fit. He used his cunning and diplomatic abilties to climb the social ladder and make himself one of the four great generals of the Vandole Empire. His sardonic nature is displayed multiple times, especially when crosses path with the heroes. Usually displaying a cold contempt towards his adversaries, his desperation to find a new host for is soul can be seen when Dyluck's spirit destroys his own body, preventing him to gain more power in doing so. Panicked by the fact that his soul cannot find anyone suitable for him he attack the main characters as a last resort to gain their bodies instead.


===Powers===

Thanatos is shown mutliple time to possess immense magical powers related to mind control, telekinesis and life leeching. He orchestrated the soul sucking experiment in Pandora as means of gaining more power and weakening the kingdom without direct intervention. He manipulated Elinee into sending him more life energy by telling her she would keep her magic as a bargaining chip. He did the same procedure in Northtown and tried consuming Primm's soul while preventing Randi and Popoi from moving momentarily. He used ancient magic to revive Geshtar's body to stall the heroes from stopping him activating the Mana Fortress. Finally, he is well versed in elemental magic and can also inflict multiple status aliments during his boss fight.
