Melfice is the brother of Ryudo and one of the antagonists of Grandia II. He is not originally evil, but is possessed by the Horns of Valmar, which manifests in the single horn protuding from his forehead. Melfice is elegant and slightly peculiar. A talented and intelligent young man left corrupt by his own genius and greed, he is often referred to as the Bringer of Ruination for he leaves nothing but corpses in his wake of chaos.
