The Man Behind the Man: Difference between revisions

Line 320:

* In ''[[Dark Souls]]'', {{spoiler|Gwyndolin}} is the one secretly behind Gwynevere, {{spoiler|withe the Gwynevere you face actually being an illusion. Gwyndolin is using her to manipulate the Undead into linking the fire, so then he can ruling through her by proxy.}}

* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'', one Imperial-aligned character mentions in passing that [[Big Bad|Mehrunes Dagon]], the [[Our Demons Are Different|Daedric Prince]] of Destruction and Change, was involved in Jagar Tharn's attempt to overthrow Emperor Uriel VII in ''[[The Elder Scrolls: Arena]]''.

* Ghosts N Goblins has done this a lot in the 40 years of the franchise; [[The Legions of Hell]] are always trying to kidnap and enslave Princess Prin-Prin, but the orchestrator of the plot is often debatable. In the original game, the Big Bad behind the plot was a demon called “the Great Satan” in the original version and “the Devil” in the dub. However, in the sequel ''Ghouls N Ghosts'', it is revealed that his actual name is Asteroth, and he is working for a stronger demon named Lucifer. But Lucifer is not the true ruler of Hell either, as ''Super Ghouls N Ghosts'' shows, he is working for Sardius (possibly meant to represent [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samael Samuel]), a demon noble who is even higher up on the infernal ladder. Finally, in ''Ultimate Ghosts N Goblins'', it is revealed that the true ruler of Hell and true mastermind is Hades. (To date, at least, as of 2021, no game with someone of higher rank has debunked this.) Curiously, it seems that Asteroth, Lucifer, and Sardius have all been rulers of Hell in the past, as powerful demons are [[Demoted to Dragon]] due to a [[The Starscream| Starsceam]] regularly often, but then, they ''are'' evil.
