Fereydoon Rygs (Japanese:ファリドゥーン)[1]is one of the main antagonists of Wild Arms 5, a member of Radical Faction of Veruni. He is a member of the Rygs family and the grandson of Lady Diana, whose mansion is situated in the town of Twelbit. During the story, Chuck's childhood friend Lucille is forced to work as a maid for his household, and he grows close to her. He eventually finds his loyalty to Volsung tested when Volsung's actions become increasingly rogue and violent. He develops a rivalry with Chuck, especially concerning their respective relationships to Lucille. He has a leitmotif, "Fariedone RYGS 5013"; one version plays during cutscenes he appears in, and another plays during the party's battles with him. At the climax of the story, he is the boss guarding TF System: Tower G. Fereydoon is from Persian mythology. In this mythology Fereydoon was the loyal second in command to the heroic Kaveh the Blacksmith who started an uprising against the demonic tyrant Zahhak. Working together, the two of them managed to bring down the despot leader and Fereydoon became the new King, ruling for 500 years of prosperity before handing his position to his three sons. The Fereydoon of the Wild Arms Universe is somewhat of an inversion of his origin, as instead of being second in command to a heroic rebel, he serves the evil tyrant.[2]
