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, known by his birth name as Archie 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

Archie was an exile from his people, and the villagers would not accept him (possibly due to the illager's warrior culture). 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.
 * He also has different eyebrows.
