Izard (あいざあど, Aizaado) is a character from the Valis series and a member of the Rogles's army in the Mega Drive/Genesis and PC-Engine CD versions of Valis I.
Biography[]
Izard was recruited by Rogles some time ago before the first game. Izard has been loyal to Rogles from there on and afterwardly grew a great rivalry with Venon.
In the Games[]
He was given a Phantasm jewel and sent to watch the Dark forest area from Vecanti in the Mega Drive/Genesis version, while in the PC-Engine CD version he was sent to the Underground area. It was a matter of time for Yuuko to find him. She asked Izard about where Rogles was but Izard refused to answer and challenged her to a battle. After he lost, in the PCE-CD version he telled Yuuko that, even though she defeated her and could even defeat Rogles, her destiny as the Valis warrior would be full of tragedy and sadness. He died afterwardly having his Phantasm jewel taken by Yuuko and leaving her shocked by his words, realizing many time after that he was sadly right but persisted to fight no matter what.
In the Manga[]
In the new Valis manga by ZOL, Izard's role is somehow expanded. He kidnaps Yuuko by surprise during her first fight with Reiko and dissabled her armor and her sword leaving Yuuko defenseless against his minions's attacks. After the attack Yuuko was left naked and Izard took her to his room where he hypnotized her and attempted to have sex with her in this state. But Reiko irrumped in his base with Venon, Reiko was seeking revenge against Izard for stealing her the opportunity of beating Yuuko and Venon wanted to take advantage from his rival (Izard) by kidnapping Yuuko himself. While Venon defeated most of Izard's minions, Reiko fought Izard personally and killed him by cutting him in half. His Phantasm jewel was taken by Yuuko along the rest of them took by Izard, Yuuko regained conciousness and then was teletransported by Valia to a safe place.
Personality[]
Izard is a calm and lonely young man. He has an incredible intelligence and knowledge about spells. He is possibly Rogles's most loyal men and the best one of them. His power is also almost as high as Rogles's power. Possibly because of this Venon grow jealous towards him and wanted to reach his possition becoming his rival. Though Izard seems to know Venon's true intentions of dispose Rogles and take the Dark world's throne and because of this, he fights against Venon many times.
In the manga Izard seems to act less lonely and is highly self confident. He also seems to be somehow a handsome-like man as he is constantly surrounded by beautiful women from the Dark world.
