  • Emperor Mateus, also known as the Emperor of Palamecia (in Japanese: パラメキア皇帝, Paramekia Kōtei) is the primary antagonist and final boss of Final Fantasy II. He is the ruler of Palamecia who aims to conquer the world through demonic forces. Though known simply as the Emperor in Final Fantasy II, he is named Mateus (マティウス, Matiusu) in the game's Japan-exclusive novelization: "Final Fantasy II Nightmare's Labyrinth" (in Japanese: ファイナルファンタジーII 夢魔の迷宮, Fainaru Fantajī Tsū Muma no Meikyū) by Kenji Terada.
  • The primary antagonist of Final Fantasy II. Emperor Mateus is the ruler of Palamecia who attempts to subjugate all the world under his rule, believing himself to be the only one capable of doing so as all other humans are but insects to him. His burning of the Kingdom of Fynn is what triggers Firion and his friends to join the Wild Rose Rebellion, starting the events of the game. When they finally confront and defeat him, he is quickly revealed to have reincarnated as both a demon and an angel, splitting himself into two powerful beings that subjugated heaven and hell simultaneously, causing Firion and his allies to travel through Hell and Pandaemonium to face him while their deceased friends took on the Emperor's light half, ending the threat he posed once and for all.
  • The novelization develops on the origin of his powers, attributing it to Satan, lord of Pandaemonium, with whom Mateus makes a pact to summon demonic forces into the mortal world. In the novel Muma no Meikyū the demon that corrupts the minds of Palamecian emperors originates from the beginning of the world when it became trapped within the indestructible "Stone of Iludia" and swore revenge. After ascending to the throne, Mateus exiled his mother, Airu, to the deserts of Palamecia, and yet she still spends her life trying to find a way to save him, although she never manages to do this.
