= Biography =

Gendrasil is a demon who feasts on the souls of dead warriors. Unlike Chaos, he hailed from a different demonic plane. However, he is still known by demons outside of his area of influence (as noted by Listell).

Listell's knowledge may stem from the fact that Gendrasil had managed to attain divinity and thus become a Devil God. As Chaos explains in Langrisser IV all Devil Gods are merely demons who have earned godhood.

Despite being a devil-god, Gendrasil was still a lower ranking devil than Chaos, but he desired to increase his standing in the underworld by killing Chaos and taking his position.

At some undetermined time in the past, Gendrasil tried to act on this desire, but was easily dispatched by the Lord of Mayhem.

In another attempt, after the events of Langrisser II, Gendrasil stole the Sage's Crystal from the heavens, hoping to use Alhazard's power to gain an upperhand against Chaos.

Gendrasil was pursued by Lushiris and in the ensuing battle, he is severely injured and upon exiting Neo-Gloria he crashes into Regenburg, losing the Sage's Crystal and himself being turned into crystal.

The resulting crater and the demonic crystal are soon discovered by a twenty-something soldier, Gizarof. Gendrasil introduces himself to the young Gizarof and offers him the power to change his misfortunes, Gizarof readily agrees.

This power, helped Gizarof to climb the ranks of the Regenburg Federation. One of the things the demon teaches Gizarof is the power of cloning, with which he intents to harness a powerful magical body to enter the mortal plane.

He also helped Gizarof to understand the technology the ancients, resulting in Gizarof's rebuilding the Magitech Colossus.

Langrisser IV
Gendrasil is first seen in the events of Langrisser IV after Ranford's encounter with Caconsis.

While Gizarof is planning his next steps the demon suddenly talks to the admiral. It is implied that he has helped Gizarof in the past and promises continual assistance as long as admiral's goals remain the same as his.

Gizarof asserts that he appreciates the help... but could have accomplished his desires alone and says that if Gendrasil has no purpose to go.

Gendrasil notes as he leaves that humans are curious creatures who have so many dreams... but such short lives.

Gendrasil appears once more after Bruno's treachery is revealed and he escapes Caconsis and returns back to Gizarof. After the admiral orders Krüger and Bruno to go to Fort Hoffen and the two leave, Gendrasil reappears.

He mocks Gizarof and asks what the Field Marshal is so worried about, taunting him about the loss of the Sage's Crystal.

After the battle of Fort Hoffen, Listell tells Landius more about the demons Gendrasil and Glaaz.

Shortly after these events, Krüger discovers he is nothing but a clone, created for Gizraof's purposes. Which describes as "an affront to the gods."

Gendrasil appears before him at this point and finds it amusing the he would be disgusted by Gizarof as if they were two different people. Gendrasil then reveals who Krüger really is.

Gendrasil moreover promises Krüger his help, after all if he is the same as Gizarof than they share the same ambition, an ambition which the demon says he can help fulfill, if they join together. Krüger desiring revenge agrees.

After Chaos' defeat and Böser's attempt to hide Alhazard, Gendrasil led Krüger to a an empty field to find it. The demon was able to find it because, as a demon, he was able to sense the sword's demonic energy.

"However, with my mastery over demonic energies, I am able to sense it through subtle differences in its dark resonance."

Krüger upon drawing the sword is instructed by Gendrasil to draw upon Alhazard's power. it is a trap, however, for Gendrasil to use Krüger's mortal body to enter the physical plane.

With Chaos defeated and Alhazard in hand, Gendrasil is certain his rebirth will be unhindered, but first he wishes to rid himself of Gizarof.

After Landius storms Gizarof's empty castle, we find Gizarof in his laboratory. Gendrasil appears to Gizarof, ready to destroy him.

However, Gizarof makes use of his Magitech Colossus, the Guyframe and easily dispatches the demon god. When Gendrasil is defeated, Gizarof absorbs the demons remain power and Gendrail is defeated.

Path A
Gendrasil appears again in Path A after Lady Jessica, updates Gizarof on the creation of the magitech colossus. After Jessica leaves, Gendrasil leaves and asks Gizarof who she was. Gizarof is quite impressed with Jessica's skill for one so young, to which Gendrasil says she is not as young as she appears.

Then Gendrasil notes that not only must peace be shattered, but Gizarof needs more power, which he response is part of why he will use the Sage's Crystal. Jessica overhears all of this.

Shortly after this, Gendrasil interrupt the revived Chaos and Böser as they discuss their plans. Chaos, sensing his presence.

Gendrasil appears with arch demons, seeking out Alhazard. Chaos mocks him, noting that he had defeated him so long ago. Surprised to see that Chaos has been revived, Gendrasil is still determined to defeat Chaos, certain if he can just take Alhazard he will win. Boser knows if the sword is taken, Chaos will indeed be defeated, but Chaos, knowing that Gendrasil is stronger than his Dark Prince tells him to stand back for he shall face Gendrasil himself.

Gendrasil seems unconcerned and notes that it was he who freed Alhazard from the heavens, not Chaos who slumbered. He then fires upon the dark god, who is unaffected. Chaos then mocks that the Descendants of Light are stronger before he attacks Gendrasil and ultimately defeats him.

"Powerful you may be, but you are merely a devil. You are no match for the embodiment of chaos itself."

Sensing his defeat, Gendrasil teleports away, but not before claiming that one day he'll hold the demonic throne. After he is gone, Chaos notes that Gendrasil has grown more powerful than expected.

Gendrasil tried to escape toward Gizarof, but upon reaching the Admiral he has once again been changed into a crystal. It is revealed that despite the demon thinking he used him, that Gizarof was in truth pulling the strings all along. Trapped, Gizarof makes it clear that Gendrasil will power the Magitech Colossus.

Path B
After the Sage's Crystal is taken by Böser, Gendrasil mocks Gizarof, who seems unconcerned as he has other plans and Gendrasil notes he can't wait to see what they are.

Later in the final battle, Gendrasil and Krüger appeared, the two having fused. Seeing that Chaos has yet to revive, Gendrasil feels they have arrived in time.

"I am both Krüger and the devil Gendrasil. Or perhaps it would be correct to say I have finally achieved the form of a god."

Gendrasil fused with Krüger so that he would be able to materialized in this world and get rid of Chaos' lackeys.

Gendrasil and Krüger fuse to try and defeat the forces of Chaos, but will ultimately lose with the rest. Still even with this power... Gendrasil is defeated by Landius.
