Taranza

“To think you’ve made it this far. Aren’t you a persistent little thing?”
Taranza is an antagonist-turned-ally in Kirby Triple Deluxe, though he has shown up in later titles. Responsible for the bosses Kirby faces, notably the awesome Masked Dedede, Taranza magically spins a web of chaos for Her Majesty Sectonia, whose beauty rivals the divine. He follows her every last order, even after she becomes a shadow of her former self. Perhaps it was foolishness. Perhaps it was love? After seeing the error of his ways, Taranza helps Kirby bring an end to Sectonia’s reign of terror, once and for all. Jeez, the Kirby series really doesn’t pull their punches, huh?
