Known only as Hecate this little one is the main villain for the entire Revenge of the Dark Empire arc. He looks much younger than he really is. He keeps up his young looks by black magic. Hecate is a master of the dark arts and he is also very cunning and intelligent. The first thing he seeks out about his opponents are their weaknesses as he sees them.
A long time ago Hecate had mastered the good magic of the universe and was the Royal "Babysitter" of Prince Endymion, Princess Serenity and their twin brother and sister Prince Orion and Princess Selene. One day Hecate walked through the palace and saw a strange shiny black rock. He picked it up and was given a choice "Black Power... or Death." He chose Black Power... and all of his training for white magic was turned over to black magic. Queen Serenity soon found out about this and fired him right away. Getting VERY angry he swore revenge and one night he came back and kidnapped the older of the sets of twins, Orion and Selene. Their families could do nothing to save them, Hecate's power was too great. Hecate then took the two children to an isolated planet where he raised them to think their family hated them and forgot about them on purpose. Hecate bonded the two of them to himself, so that if he died they'd go with him, but it also allowed them to receive his power and become stronger. Eventually, when the children were old enough, Hecate took them and travelled to earth with them. Where the Revenge of the Dark Empire arc began.
Hecate's name is stolen from mythology ^_^ Hecate is the goddess of demons and superstitious stuff like that, so it seemed fitting.
Hecate lives in a HUGE floating castle.
Hecate uses all kinds of spells to attack. When he's normally fighting without anger it's 2d33. When he's angered his dice go up to 2d38. Yike. Hecate used small black stones which erased memory as he wanted it to. The stones put the senshi under his complete control. Hecate wanted to make all of the senshi his personal slaves and then conquer the world and make them all his minor slaves. He used Orion and Selene for that purpose. The reason why all the senshi got a beat down before having their memory erased is because I explain it this way : "Black magic only works if chosen, or it takes over a weak mind or body." So, he had to weaken the senshi in body in order for the mind control to work.
A few words from Hecate :
"::throwing rice at the screen:: Booo boo!!"
If you've seen Magic Knights Rayearth, you probably recognize the picture at the top as Guru Clef, rather than Hecate. But nope, I edited that picture (I admit, it isn't that great a job of editing -_-) and now it's Hecate, so nyah :)~
"Everyone has a weakness."
"It's a very simple concept called divide and conquer."
"SILENCE!"
