Golbez
Golbez is a fictional character who serves as an antagonist in the SquareSoft RPG Final Fantasy IV. Golbez comes from unknown origin and replaces Cecil Harvey as commander of the Red Wings - Baron's military airship fleet - after Cecil defies the king. Golbez and the king show a special interest in the Crystals, killing any innocent lives neccessary in order to collect them.
When Cecil questions the King of Baron's judgment after being ordered to kill the innocent mages of Mysidia in order to steal their Crystal, he is relieved from the position of airship commander. His position is given to the mysterious Golbez. Under Golbez's command, the Red Wings steal the Fire Crystal of Damcyan, killing Anna, the daughter of Tellah and fiance of Prince Edward Chris von Muir. When Tellah sees Anna dying, he vows to kill Golbez to matter what it takes.
Cecil actually meets Golbez in Fabul. Cecil's companion Kain Highwind, under the telepathic influence of Golbez, defeats Cecil in combat, and Golbez takes the Crystal. In addition to the Wind Crystal, Golbez also kidnaps Cecil's beloved Rosa Farrell. Kain tells Cecil that he and Golbez will release Rosa, if Cecil brings them the Earth Crystal of Troia in exchange.
When Cecil brings Golbez the Crystal in the Tower of Zot, Tellah beomces enraged and fights the evil sorcerer. Tellah uses the most powerful spell, Meteo, in hopes of killing Golbez, but to no avail. By using the spell, Tellah sacrifices his own life, only to weaken Golbez. This, however, does release Golbez's control over Kain, who joins the party and releases Rosa.
Cecil and Kain meet Golbez once again in the Underworld, in their quest for the Dark Crystals. Though they defeat Golbez in battle, they do not kill him, and Golbez takes the Crystal for himself. Much later, when on the moon, the Lunarian FuSoYa explains that Golbez, himself, is under the telepathic influence another being - Zemus. FuSoYa then shares that Cecil and Golbez are in fact brothers, and that he (being FuSoYa) is their uncle. FuSoYa's brother KluYa fell in love with an Earthling, who gave birth to two half-Lunarian sons. Zemus could easily take control of Golbez, because of his Lunarian blood. Zemus chose Golbez over Cecil, because Golbez had evil in his heart that Cecil did not.
FuSoYa also explains that Zemus plans to use the Crystals to call forth the Giant of Babil, which will destroy all life on Earth. When they return to Earth from the moon, they find that the Giant has already been summoned. They then enter the Giant of Babil and defeat the Four Fiends of the Elements, who were followers of Golbez. When Cecil destroys the core of the Giant, Golbez storms in, ready to kill him. FuSoYa then uses his magic to return Golbez's true consciousness and free him from Zemus's control. By doing so, any telepathic influence Golbez has ever Kain is also eliminated.
Golbez and FuSoYa then go to the moon to defeat Zemus by using the White Meteo spell, and do so. However, after Zemus's death, the evil inside of Zemus takes a physical form - Zeromus. Meteo has no affect over Zeromus, so Golbez attempts to weaken its power by using the Crystal. However, this has no affect, because the Crystal does not work for those with evil in their hearts. Cecil uses the Crystal, and with the help of the prayers from former party members, defeats Zeromus, returning peace to the world.
Golbez decides he can never return to Earth and chooses to go with FuSoYa, to sleep with the Lunarians until the time comes when the Earthlings and Lunarians can live in harmony. Before Golbez leaves, Cecil finally forgives him and accepts him as his brother.
