Known to the Holy Vigoor Empire as the Holy VigoorianVigoor Emperor, this is his human form to his Godgod form, the original "Evil Deity" who spawned the Fiends. To the commoners of the Holy VigoorianVigoor Empire, Vigoor is worshiped as a "Supreme Holy Deity", leader of their "Holy Vigoorian Order" and the absolute authority in their lives. After his defeat in the first Xbox title, a plan is set into motion in the''Ninja NDSGaiden: sequelDragon Sword'' to ressurect him by the ancient goddessesFiends Ishtaros and Nicchea, using the Dark Dragon statuesDragonstones to do so, but it fails as Ryu manages to destroy the statues and kill Ishtaros, then as last ditch Nicchae uses her sister's remains to ressurect Vigoor, it succeeds only for the Dark Dragon to use Vigoor's energy and ressurect himself.

* [[Physical God]]: Introduced as such, [[Retcon|but changed later, as he is not the only one]].

Line 509:
[[File:Cliff 8783.jpg|frame]]
 
Mizuki's Brother-in-law. She jokingly describes him as a [[Mad Scientist]] since he conceives strange advanced weapons such as Ryu's [[It Runs on Nonsensoleum|target-locking bow]]. {{spoiler|Turns out, he ''really'' is a [[Mad Scientist]], responsible for bringing his brother Theodore back to life as the Regent of the Mask and turning Canna into what he calls a "Goddess".}}.

Line 563:
[[File:RegentNinjaGaiden 9482.jpg|frame]]
 
The [[Big Bad]] of ''Ninja Gaiden 3'' {{spoiler|or so it seems at first}}. The game begins with him taking hostages in the middle of London with his terrorist group and assassinating the British Prime Minister. After fighting Ryu, he places a curse on his right arm, forcing the Dragon Ninja to endure the pain of all the people he killed. {{spoiler|He is also Canna's father and Cliff's brother, brought [[Back from the Dead]], brainwashed and used by LOA. He comes back to his senses and helps Ryu at the end of the game.}}.
 
* [[Alchemy Is Magic]]: The form of magic the Regent uses is less alchemic than it is conjuring curses and spells through incantations.
* [[Alchemy Is Magic]]
* {{spoiler|[[Back from the Dead]]: Cliff resurrected Theodore, but placed a [[Mask of Power]], rendering him [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] to serve the Lords of Alchemy}}.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Part of his attire.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]]: He saves Ryu and kills [[One-Winged Angel]] Cliff in the last act}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: By the Lords of Alchemy thanks to his mask. Destroying it causes his [[Heel Face Turn]].}}.
* [[Combat Commentator]]: He sends amused comments at you during the boss fights of Day 3 and 4.
* [[Cool Mask]]: Another part of his attire.
** [[Malevolent Masked Man]]
** [[White Mask of Doom]]
* [[Cool Sword]]: Uses a [[Royal Rapier]].
** [[Royal Rapier]]
* [[Gloved Fist of Doom]]: The third part of his attire.
* [[Faux Symbolism]]:
{{quote|"Every nation must immediately agree to our terms of surrender. You have seven days. Exactly the number of days it took God to create this world."}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]:}}: After his mask is destroyed.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Apparently, lifting the curse from Ryu's arm required to die by his hand.}}. Talk about an [[Awesome but Impractical]] curse!
* [[In the Hood]]: [[Overly Long Gag|The final part of his attire.]].
* [[Kick the Dog]]: The first thing we see him do is kill the freaking Prime Minister. The hostages probably didn't all get away alive either. And then there is him {{spoiler|pushing Lovelace into the egg.}}.
* [[Large Ham]]/[[Milking the Giant Cow]]: Comes with the territory of going into lengthy esotheric speeches about God, the universe or the end of the world.
* [[Occult Blue Eyes]]
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Four times in a single play-through.
* [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]]: He's not as unforgiving as Murai since your lifebar is maxed-out from the beginning in ''Ninja Gaiden 3'', but he's clearly the first enemy of the game that will pose you a challenge. In harder difficulties, he becomes [[That One Boss]].
