Profile[]
Known as the Souleater, he is an evil man obssessed with becoming immortal at the cost of stealing lives of countless other people. He was an enemy of the Shadow Walkers during the war and nearly killled but was found by a person in Baruch and nursed back to health. He repaid his good samaritans by using them in his experiments, and found a copy of the Necronomicon which gave an immortal body. However, it was an incomplete copy and instead of dying, he devolves into his true form of a slime like creature and retaking human form is an excruciating process that is almost worse then dying.
He becomes Ben-Shoah's minion and hunts down his old enemies the Shadow Walkers in return for a full copy of the Necronomicon. During the game, he hunts the party and is the source of much misery, killing several friends of Ciel, including Ms. Carol and Harry, and managing to kill several of the Shadow Walkers. But the means to destroy him are finally revealed by Yeager and built with the help of Alon and Professor Cyak. Banipal is lured to the ziggurat by Glen and defeated and turned back into his slime form. The heroes then use a device to forcefully transmute his slime form into a lifeless crystal, finally ending him. Rudy, in a sign of letting go of his hatred, hopes he will be reborn as a good person in his next life.
