Tapion (タピオン Tapion) is former War Wizard for the Konatsian War Council and often described as a Legendary War Hero. He is from World 95.
Biography[]
Background[]
One thousand years ago before Wrath of the Dragon, he and his younger brother Minotia were ordinary Konatsians. However, one day, a group of black magicians known as the Kashvar executed an ancient ritual that revived a statue into the ruthless and enormous monster Hirudegarn. With no sense of reason, Hirudegarn would eventually use his incredible powers to destroy the planet Konats.
During the bout between Hirudegarn and the Konatsians, Tapion and Minotia used their Hero's Flutes to hold Hirudegarn in place. Given this opportunity, a wizard brandished an enchanted sword and used it to bisect Hirudegarn. Tapion, Minotia and the wizard were then recognised as Great Heroes among the Konatsians.
To ensure Hirudegarn's eternal imprisonment, Tapion and Minotia agreed to have their bodies guard each spirit of Hirudegarn (his top half went to Tapion and his bottom half to Minotia). They were then enclosed in mystical music boxes, and dispatched to the distant parts of the universe. Minotia was sent to an unknown planet, while Tapion was sent to Earth.
