Biography[]
Dragon Quest IV[]
Considered a true master of rasatantra alchemy, Mahabala was responsible for the creation of the levitating platforms found in his hidden laboratory Gupta Gupha, the Night light, the Magic key, and the Sphere of Silence, among other marvelous developments. His true claim to fame was the (re)discovery of the secret of evolution, which had been lost to the ages.
Prior to the events of the game, he was murdered by his apprentice Balzack. Though deceased, he is very important to the game's story as he discovered (or rather, rediscovered) the Secret of Evolution, which the forces of Nadiria sought to exploit. After his discovery, Balzack murdered him, orphaning his daughters and causing them to begin a vendetta against Balzack that ultimately led to them following their destiny in joining the Hero on their quest.
His other apprentice, Oojam, briefly aided the sisters in getting revenge in chapter 4.
