I will do anything to conquer Serdio even if I have to sell my soul to the devil.

-Doel

Emperor Doel (皇帝ドウエル, Kōtei Dōeru, "Emperor Doyle") is the main antagonist in the first chapter of the Legend of Dragoon. He is the leader of the Imperial Sandora who seeks to conquer all of Serdio and become a much more powerful ruler than his late brother, King Carlo. He is the uncle of Albert.

Story[]

Before the events of the game[]

Main article: Serdian War

Twenty years ago, then-Prince Doel murdered his brother King Carlo and seized power in the south of the country. The kingdom he founded, Imperial Sandora, has been at war with the Kingdom of Basil. Until recently the war had been evenly matched, and a truce was declared. However, when Sandora gained a Dragon, Feyrbrand, the balance of power was tipped in their favor, and the truce was broken.

During the events of the game[]

Doel and Lloyd

WARNING: Section contains spoilers.

Emperor Doel ordered the capture of Shana as requested by his adviser Lloyd. She was found in Seles; the Great Commander as well as Fruegel lead the attack, with the latter ordering the town to be burned to the ground. He also ordered the attacks on Hoax and the Fort of Seventh Knighthood in Marshlands so that he can take King Albert as hostage while Dart and his group are pursuing the dragon at the Nest of Dragon.

This sets in motion sequence of events at the end of Disc 1: Lavitz is killed by the Dragon Buster when he attacks Lloyd, after seeing Lloyd taking the Moon Gem out of King Albert's body. After the death of Lavitz, Dart, Rose, Shana, Haschel and their new companion Albert decide to go to the Black Castle in Kazas to get answers from Doel after King Albert told them about the Moon Gem. With the help of Popo, they are able to gain access to the Black Castle.

After the battle with Dragoon Doel.

After the battle with Kongol they are able to meet the Emperor face to face. King Albert asked Doel why he wanted to kill his father, Doel says he wants to dispose of the incapable ruler and take over Serdio. When Dart asked why he ordered the kidnap of Shana in Seles, he told him that she was the child that waxes under the Moon That Never Sets. Emperor Diaz ordered the capture of Shana, he claimed. Rose was incredulous; she said this was impossible, as Diaz died during the Dragon Campaign. Emperor Doel refused to elaborate; he challenged them to fight him for the answers they sought. After his defeat, the Emperor's last words to Albert were that he shall pursue Lloyd in the western country of Tiberoa.

In his last moments, as observed by Albert, Doel returns to his old self, commending his nephew for becoming strong and to seek not the past, but the future, and to go and find out about the world.

Battle at Black Castle[]

During battle, Doel uses a variety of attacks. The attacks he uses are listed below.

Normal Form[]

  • Double Sword: Doel slashes one party member two times, then lifts them of the ground with his blades and slams them on the ground.
  • Scream Bullet: Doel stabs his two swords on the ground, then he and the swords start glowing yellow and start spinning around him and then he throws both of his swords at one party member.

Dragoon Form[]

  • Charge Burst: Doel shoots two electric waves from his sword, then raises his sword and charges electrical energy to it and shoots it out at a party member.
  • Barrier: Doel puts up a purple electric barrier that makes him immune to all damage which lasts for three turns, ie Doel gets to act for two turns afterwards, protected, and on the third turn it dissipates.
  • Judgment Storm: Doel throws one of his swords up in the air over the party's head and charges an electrical storm, then he slashes each party member, then he flies up and grabs his sword where he absorbs all of the storms energy into the blade and sends the energy down towards the party with a swoop of his blade, the energy descends down on the party and explodes in an electrical explosion.
  • Random Thunder: Doel spins around and releases a random thunder magic that deals major damage. He uses this often when he started to form a barrier around him.

The battle with Doel begins right after the battle with Kongol, so it is a smart idea to have some Healing Potions and Angel's Prayers. He casts Barrier after an unchanging amount of time, rather than an amount of damage or randomly, so any player that can deal enough damage fast enough will always be able to defeat Doel before he can raise the barrier. Heal with items or Guard when the barrier is up. If the player knows that this downtime will happen, they might find Therapy Ring or Spirit Ring useful. A lot of boss battles later on will punish being in Dragoon form, and this one does too, albeit in a passive sort of way. Dragoon form lacks Guard or item use; being in Dragoon form when Doel raises the Barrier is wasteful. Higher Dragoon level makes it easier, though, and dragoon magic can deal a lot of damage to him.

Battle inside the Moon[]

The heroes encounter Doel again. Albert must fight him without his Dragoon form, as with all the Moon challenges. Doel cannot be attacked before his two swords are defeated. His white sword is named Shadow Blade and his black and red sharp blade is called Light Sword.

  • Double Sword: Doel slashes one party member two times, then he lifts them off the ground with his blades and slams them on the ground.
  • Shadow Blade
  • Light Sword

After the swords are defeated:

  • Lightning Curve: Doel shoots four bolts from his cape.
