Appearances[]
Dragon Quest X[]
Three-hundred years ago, Tyrant Basagrande attacked the Wenna Islands, wanting to enslave them under his rule; however, he was eventually bested in combat by a Wetling swordsman, Lude, and a cat swordsman, Cat Barbado, then, using an ancient song first conceived by Linache, the Song of the Moment, Saria of the royal family sealed away Tyrant Basagrande, as well as herself.
In the modern age, the petty swindler Cathlan planned to having her big break by posing as a fortune teller and advising Prince Odisu on how to awaken the sealed shrine maiden, Saria, as the prince couldn't in good conscience let her remain in her supsended animation state. When the seal was broken, however, it was revealed that Cathlan only wanted to revive Tyrant Basagrande, tricking the prince in the process, in order to conquer the Wenna islands. However, not only Basagrande was completely uninterested in teaming up with her, but he also subsequently ended up defeated by the arriving Hero, much to her chagrin. Cathlan made a hasty escape, with Odisu opting to catch her to a later date.
Basagrande would later be revived as part of a plan to likewise return Nelgel to life, the bestial monster agreeing to follow his lead. This lead to the current descendants of the two swordsmen who first defeated him, Hussar and Purrgatroyd, attempt to put an end to him for good, but to no avail. However, when it appeared that the Hero and Eruju were in the clutches of Basagrande and his allies, Nelgel himself finished off his own minions, wanting to end the life of the Hero with his own hands.
