Exdeath

Summary

Exdeath is the main antagonist of the 1992 Square role-playing video game Final Fantasy V. Created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the warlock Exdeath is a sentient tree that has taken on a humanoid form, seeking to control the power of the Void. Though he is able to obtain it, while fighting the protagonists it consumes him as well, and he re-emerges as a being known as Neo Exdeath. Exdeath has since appeared in various other titles and promotions related to the Final Fantasy franchise, including the Dissidia Final Fantasy games, where he is voiced by Gerald C. Rivers in English and Tarō Ishida in Japanese, with Naomi Kusumi later taking over the latter's role after Ishida's death.
