Demitrius

Demitrius (デミトリアス) is a supporting character, and later antagonist in Tales of the Rays.

History
Demitrius introduces himself in the story as the king of Sellund, when Ix and Mileena are trying to figure things out about Gefion, and admits that he entrusts everything to her due to being sick from anima contamination. He offers to help them with their next exoflection, which is revealed to be a layering on the previously exoflected world. He's shown to have a close bond with Phillip as well, since they attended the same university.

By the time Mirrage Prison rolls around, he has used Chronos' powers to turn back time and make him look younger again. It's revealed that he's Mercuria's adoptive father, as of the end of the war between Sellund and Bifrost, and he's acting as her guardian even now, supporting her in her goal to bring back the entire fallen empire. Since none of the citizens have memories and are easily impressionable, he declared himself emperor, and thus has rule over approximately 90% of the world (sans the Salvation Front and the protagonists' group). He also pinned the entire event of the Mirrorshift on Mileena, making her a wanted woman.
