Ragou

Ragou (ラゴウ) is a minor antagonist in Tales of Vesperia.

History
Ragou resides in a large estate in Capua Nor, where he holds the position of magistrate. He is also a member of the powerful Council of the Empire. A sinister man, Ragou terrorizes the citizens of his city, breeding dangerous monsters and forcing those unable to pay his taxes to be killed by the monsters in an underground chamber of his estate. Using a Hermes blastia to manipulate the weather and cause the mighty "Rhybgaro" creature to appear, he sends countless citizens to their death by promising them an exemption from their taxes if they retrieve the horn of the beast. When Ragou is later tried for his crimes, he uses his power in the Council to receive a lighter sentence, which does not set well with Yuri Lowell, who takes matters into his own hands and kills Ragou on a bridge in Dahngrest. Ragou's body later appears as the basin of Heliord.
