Minecraft Dungeons:Arch-Illager

"Corrupted by evil... Driven by vengeance... The Arch-Illager made all bow before him. And if they did not bow... they would FALL"

The Arch-Illager is the main antagonist of Minecraft Dungeons. He is the leader of the illagers.

Lore
"He became the Arch-Illager when he obtained the power of the Orb of Dominance, but before that, he was a misfit Illager who couldn't fit in a normal Illager society, and found this power within a mountain."

- Chris Nordgren

The Illager who would eventually become the Arch-Illager was an exile from his people, and the villagers would not accept him (possibly due to the illager's warrior culture, or because of his misshapen head). He eventually stumbled upon a mountain cave containing the Orb of Dominance. In an almost hypnotic state due to the Orb's power, he snatched the Orb and quickly took on the title of Arch-Illager and gained immense power over his people. He then attacked villagers with armies of illagers such as pillagers, vindicators, and even other mobs like a redstone monstrosity.

Trivia

 * The Arch-Illager is very similar to Kaos, the main antagonist of the Skylanders franchise.
 * Both are short in stature, have a somewhat high-pitched voice, wear a robe, and use magic. They are also both the main antagonists of their respective franchises.
 * The Arch-Illager's robe is similar to that of the Wandering Trader, albeit with a two-pixel high white bottom.
 * The Arch-Illager's head is different from that of any other illager: it is wider than it is tall.
 * It also has different eyebrows.
