[@Raddum] I'm gonna go look over Ritz while you check mine out.

[b][h3][i]Notes:[/i][/h3][/b]This version of Emperor Mateus is quite different from the one summoned in the previous incarnations, with a more complex nature. He possesses elements from the version of him presented in the novel 'Muma no Meikyū' (which I am not entirely savvy about but will do my best), and therefore information regarding it will be included here. He is also more powerful than the incarnations in other cycles alongside having a more developed history and personality overall in comparison. [hider=Muma no Meikyū][quote=Final Fantasy Wiki]In the novel [i]Muma no Meikyū[/i] it is stated Palamecia is cursed with demonic influences that corrupt its emperors. The demon, desiring to rule the world by human proxy, turns men into malicious masterminds by polluting their thoughts with its malice. The novelization develops on the origin of his powers, attributing it to Satan, lord of Hell, with whom Mateus makes a pact to summon demonic forces into the mortal world. In the novel [i]Muma no Meikyū[/i] the demon that corrupts the minds of Palamecian emperors originates from the beginning of the world when it became trapped within the indestructible 'Stone of Iludia' and swore revenge. After ascending to the throne, Mateus exiled his mother, Airu, to the deserts of Palamecia, and yet she still spends her life trying to find a way to save him, although she never manages to do this.[/quote][/hider] Other elements from versions of Emperor Mateus from outside of 'Dissidia' were taken into account when developing this incarnation (though all his abilities from 'Dissidia' series are still retained alongside the new powers and concepts), and therefore the information regarding his overall character will be included here for reference material. There are also a few personalized touches. He still possesses the exact same primary goal as the 'Dissidia' incarnation - overthrowing Cosmos and Chaos - but I imagine his chances of doing so and motivation differ. Unlike the previous incarnations, his existence is an anomaly -- while the previous incarnations were not powerful enough to take a god - such as Chaos - on directly, this incarnation is closer to his canonical version (who was capable of defeating both God and Satan), but is also beyond that version and should be thought of as a different envisioning of the character; however, since awakening in the present cycle he has not fully manifested his true powers yet.
