Nausizz is the main antagonist of the Crossed Swords series.
Story[]
Crossed Sword[]
Nausizz is a powerful demon warlord, whose only purpose is to spread chaos and agony, said to appear during times when peace reigns and people become careless because of it. He arises in the land of Belkana, sending his army of creatures to destroy everything, killing all who stood in his way. A pair of traveling warriors named Edmond and Richard, who had heard of the chaos in Belkana, decided to challenge Nausizz forces, saving the small village of Dio. The duo head to Castle Pulista, where the King briefs them of the situation and asks for help. However, Nausizz's minions invade the castle and kidnap the princess Chlore, taking her to the Devil World. Edmond and Richard fight through Nausizz's forces, being aided by many allies of the King. The pair enter the Devil World and invade Castle Graisia, where Nausizz greets them. Nausizz recognizes the prowess of two warriors and, surprisingly, being a demon with honor sends Chlore back to Pulista. However, Nausizz declares that Edmond and Richard must pay their dues - with their lives. The warriors then battle Nausizz, who turns into a fiendish worm. Nausizz is defeated, so Edmond and Richard escape the place and return to Pulista, where the King offers the two knights to live with them. With this, peace is restored in Belkana.
Crossed Swords 2[]
Obviously, this peace would not last for long. Years after Nausizz first arrival, his castle once again emerges from the underworld, right in the middle of Belkana, from where his evil army spreads once again to cause destruction. This time, three valiant warriors accept Nausizz's challenge. Nausizz summons his two servants named Zain and Gimell, who attempt to stop the warriors by summoning powerful monsters to fight them, but the warriors defeat the monsters and make their way after Nausizz's castle. As they approach the bridge near the castle, Zain and Gimell attempt to stop the three fighting by themselves, but they in the end are defeated. The warriors enter the castle, so Nausizz greets them and engage them in combat. Once again he turns into a fiendish dragon but, as they prove too much for him, he transforms into a more powerful demonic form. Nausizz is defeated, and the warriors flee his castle as it collapses. On the outside, Nausizz appears after the warriors in spectral form, congratulating them for defeating him and for their bravery and alerting them that he shall return when people dwell again in the carelessness of peace. With his last words, he returns back to the world of eternal chaos.
Personality[]
Although being a demon of darkness, Nausizz possesses a strong sense of honor, respecting warriors with bravery and might: even giving his vanquishers an advice how not to fight him in the future. His sense of honor and leadership is evident in Crossed Swords 2 when players reach inside the castle of Raduin, Nausizz's headquarter: in the corridor of castle there were hundreds (maybe thousands) of candles with portraits of his each and every single fallen demon warriors from the first Crossed Swords who died fighting for Nausizz's cause.
