===Characters=== *'''Ax Battler''' is a brown-haired barbarian hero. He uses a [[claymore]] while wearing a loincloth and blue boots as well as iron [[bracer]]s and a [[gorget]]. He calls upon volcanic magic, deploying lava and powerful eruptive blasts. Ax's mother is murdered by Death Adder's forces, providing his motive in the original ''[[Golden Axe]]''. Ax was given a solo game for the [[Sega Game Gear]] titled ''Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe'', in which he is charged with saving another kingdom. Battler is the most balanced character, having a better striking range and less spell-power than Tyris, and more powerful magic but not the extended physical reach of Gilius. *'''Tyris Flare''' is a [[Red hair|red-haired]] [[amazons|amazon]] who wields a [[cinquedea]]-type sword while wearing a chainmail bikini, bracers and red boots. Both her parents are murdered by Death Adder's forces, leading her to seek revenge in the first Golden Axe game. Her magic attacks are all fire based, including the summoning of a giant, flame-spewing dragon. Tyris has the shortest range of the heroes, but possesses the most powerful spells. *'''Gilius Thunderhead''' is the white haired, bearded dwarf who (at least in the arcade version) actually commands the Golden Axe. He wears a green [[tunic]], leather boots and a Norse-style [[horned helmet]]. He seeks revenge in Golden Axe after his brother is murdered by Death Adder's forces, returning again to defeat Dark Guld in ''[[Golden Axe II]]''. In ''[[Golden Axe III]]'', Gilius is the only character from the previous games to appear, though he is not playable, he starts each of the characters off on their quest at the game's beginning. When Death Adder returns from the dead in ''[[Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder]]'', Gilius rides on the back of playable character Goah throughout the game, and sacrifices his life at game's end to vanquish Death Adder once and for all. Gilius is granted the least powerful spells in the game, but has the best striking range in battle. *'''Death Adder''' is a tyrannical [[giant (mythology)|giant]] who wears a full iron helmet, pointed [[spaulder]]s, and wields an enormous [[double axe]]. In addition to his brutal strength and speed while attacking, he can also cast magical spells. With his army, he enslaves the kingdom of Golden Axe and kidnaps its royal family. After dispatching his minions, Adder is finally killed by the game's three heroes, but is resurrected for ''[[Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder]]''. Here, he survives an initial attempt on his life but perishes due to the self-sacrifice of Gilius Thunderhead. In 2010 [[IGN]] ranked Death Adder 83rd in "Top 100 Videogames Villans". In home console versions of Golden Axe, Death Adder is accompanied by his son, '''Death Adder Jr.''', and father, '''Death Bringer'''. These characters are [[palette swap]]s of the original Death Adder [[Sprite (computer graphics)|sprite]], with similar powers and abilities.
