Eloch Quentis Khamer VIII

Khamer VIII is an antagonist of Bravely Default.

Appearance and Personality
A 57-year-old man who was born in Ancheim. He wears a completely black outfit with a cape, and wears a clock cog as his crown.

He is a fervent adherent of Anticrystalism and uses his position to aid the duchy of Eternia. He is obsessed with progress and cruel, making his people work extensively to keep his nation's industrial's power after the wind stopped blowing. He prides himself on his exactness, calling himself the "Timekeeper King", but is mocked for his timid nature. He's also a liar and a coward, plotting to impoverish the people and turn them against the vestal.

Story
Khamer is first seen when the party arrives at Ancheim, where he is giving a speech to the townspeople. After thanking them for their hard work, he announces they shall work even more than before, and the only one to blame for this being Agnès Oblige, the Wind Vestal, who abandonned the country; while in reality she went to check the great chasm on the Khamer's advice. He then bids Agnès to come see him, only to blame her even more.

While the party travels to restore the power of the Wind Crystal, Khamer keeps feeding lies to his people to turn them against the Orthodoxy and embrace the Anticrystalism. However his plan fails when Agnès comes back after awakening the crystal, holding the Tempest's Braid, proof of her defeat over the beast Orthros. Soon the wind starts blowing again, and Khamer flees to his palace as the people express their gratitude to the vestal.

The party later spies on Khamer in his palace at night, talking with Khint. He mourns over his failed plan, and thinks of a way to gain the upper hand once more. After he shows intentions to kill Agnès and steal the Crystal, the party confronts them, leading to a fight where Khamer meets his end. After his death, the Prime Minister of Ancheim momentarily takes his place but wishes to shift the power to the people.

In the second and third world, Khamer is rejoicing at his plan progress, hoping the vestal never returns. However he is defeated with Khint at his side.

In the fourth world, Khamer had Jackal bring Praline à la Mode to Ancheim, where he plans to have her sing for his people. Jackal mocks Khamer through their conversation, before the party arrives and defeats the three of them.

In the fifth world, Khamer had Jackal, Profiteur and Khint meet him at his palace to depart for Eternia. The party fights them, but they leave soon after. Khamer is later encountered at the Central Command of Eternia where he fights the party alongside Braev, Victor and Artemia.

Battle
Khamer is fought at the end of the Ancheim side quests. He gives the Time Mage asterisk once defeated.

He can be fought again in different worlds afterwards.
