Valteil

Valteil, the enlighted one, is a New God that resides in the grand libraries. He has the appearance of a large pale head with red eyes and an exposed brain. He also has the ability to create a third eye. Valteil is obsessed with creation of artificial life and believes this to be the key to true godhood. He truly believes that creation of life would closes the gap between the new gods and the older ones.

His aim is to create a working class being, similar to the clay figurines of ancient times, who are seemingly eternal beings. But because he didn't like the idea that his creations could eventually outlive him, he decided to create artificial life from flesh to limit their lifespan. He ends up creating the Lord of Flies and also created a mechanical lifeform named Uterus for his past-time pleasure.

If you collect his soul as well as the tormented soul, you may enter the temple of the gods.

Each side of the brain dictates attacks to the head, right side being magic attacks (hurting and black orb) and left side being headbutts (low damage attack that attacks the whole party). After the first turn, his third eye will begin opening. This third eye is harmless untill it reaches it's fifth turn alive, and will start casting extremely dangerous spells. Thus, it is recommended to focus the third eye then the right side of the brain, as the headbutts can be tanked. The battle will only end if the "head" bodypart is destroyed, so if you have a sufficiently strong party you can focus the head instead.

Unique to Valteil are dialog options during combat, attempting to talk to them, they will ask the player a question, if they answer correctly, it will give Valteil a "headache" and cause over 500 points of damage per correct answer. A incorrect answer may result in a attack from Valteil.

Later, after being defeated in combat, players can return to the library to discover Valteil has hung himself. If Nas'Hrah is in the player's party, they will comment that Valteil deserves what they got and suggests they were a pedophile.
