Zophar Profile
Zophar is the main antagonist from Lunar 2 : Eternal Blue. This evil entity is also known as The Dark God and The Destroyer. Early on when Zophar grew in power, he was able to ressurect Ghaleon, known as the former Magic Emperor and the antagonist from Lunar SSSC.
With the help from Ghaleon, Zophar was able to seal away the powers of the Four Dragons of Althena(the godess of beauty and love and protector of the planet) into objects called Auras..and guarded them with his most powerful followers. Later on, Zophar instructed an unnamed female human to pose as the earthly incarnation of the Goddess, Althena. Urged on with promises of eternal beauty and youth, the false Althena conveyed the wishes of Zophar in the guise of Althena's dictates.

A thousand years after the death of Althena, Zophar was finally nearing the culmination of his plans to free himself from the netherworld. He has firmly placed himself in the center of Althena's religion, using it to prepare the world of Lunar for his arrival. The Four Dragons were incapacitated by the theft of their Auras, which were guarded by Zophar's loyal followers. It seemed as though nothing could stop the Dark God.
However, Zophar wished for Althena's power, which she had disseminated throughout the world of Lunar, and he was unable to absorb it. So he awakened Lucia, a guardian left behind on the Blue star to await a time when it would be restored to life. Lucia, having premonitions of Zophar's return, went to Lunar to try to stop him.
Zophar sealed Lucia's power when she got there to hinder her attempt to find Althena's power. Since only Lucia could gather Althena's magic, his plan was for the humans who helped Lucia to become too important to her, so that when the time came, she could not bring the full force of Althena's power to bear against Zophar, which would destroy the world of Lunar along with him.
Zophar was correct, and Lucia faltered at the critial moment allowing her to be captured, where Zophar siphoned Altheana's gathered power from Lucia into himself. However, he miscalculated that the Human Spirit was actually powerful enough to challenge Zophar. Zophar was betrayed by Ghaleon, who was seeking to make amends for his evil deeds from 1000 years ago. Ghaleon challenged Lucia's friends, and awoke the spirit within them, allowing them to find the strength to challenge Zophar in his stronghold.
In a final battle in his own fortress, Zophar was finally defeated and killed by Hiro and his allies, with Hiro and Lucia together dealing the final blow. With Zophar's death, the darkness that had pervaded Lunar for ages had finally come to an end.
