Vitor

Vitor holds a skull aloft

Vitor [ウイトール] is the sorcerous head of the Magincian merchants in Hiroyuki Watanabe's 1990 Ultima-inspired manga, Ultima: The Fall of Magincia. He serves as the primary antagonist of the comic.

Description

Vitor was depicted as a wild-haired enchanter who continuously wears a stylized face concealing mask. Frequently laying plans in his stronghold in Magincia, the villainous magician spends a great deal of the narrative consulting with his mother. While the exact layout of Vitor's plans to extinguish all life in Britannia are never made exceedingly clear, the merchant lord engaged in numerous campaigns of slaughter in the region of Magincia, decimating the island settlement of Golaia and setting daemonic forces against various sailing vessels.

Eventually, it was revealed that Vitor is the incarnation of one of the gods in service to the Creator, and that after having grown disgusted with the sinfulness of mankind he took on various mortal forms to provoke the downfall of creation. In his most recent form, the sorceress Danne had used the powers of the Skull of Mondain to willingly impregnate herself with this being - hoping to plunge the world into darkness.

The manga's protagonist, Susadora, and his comrades, are revealed to be a similar entities which had likewise embodied themselves to defeat Vitor throughout his incarnations. At the comic's climax, after Vitor transforms himself into a draconic beast, Susadora realizes this truth, and manifests himself as a three-headed giant to fight his fellow god. Eventually, however, both are slain by a human-made craft, when the great ark built by the shepherdess Katrina impales both deities in the wake of Magincia's destruction.
