Demitel

Demitel is a minor character in Tales of Phantasia, the first game in the Tales series.

Demitel used to be the apprentice of the Scarlets, who were responsible for the research of Magitechnology. He lived in his own mansion on a deserted island, thus most Aselians considered him a mysterious figure. A few months prior to the destruction of Hamel, Demitel seemed to have evaporated from the continent all of a sudden, which was possibly the time that Dhaos started to manipulate his mind and turned Demitel into one of his minions.

Eventually Demitel would set out to destroy the entire village of Hamel, where the Scarlets resided. Even though it was clear that Demitel had killed all villagers in Hamel, the Scarlets' daughter Rhea would not let her spirit leave the world without witnessing the death of Demitel through her own eyes. The girl took over her best friend Arche Klein's body and met Cress' group, who promised her that they would end Demitel's life to avenge the Massacre of Hamel.

After solving a series of puzzles and traps in Demitel's mansion, Cress and friends were finally able to face Demitel at the basement. Upon confronting the group, Demitel quickly observed that the girl standing in front of him was not Rhea, and laughed at their futile effort for a possible revenge. Nonetheless, Cress noticed Demitel's hooded skeleton reflection in the mirror, which revealed his identity as Dhaos' minion. The group proceeded to battle and kill Demitel in the end, Rhea's spirit could then rest in peace, relinquishing Arche's body.
