Rubicante (?????, Rubikante?) (Rubicant in the original SNES release and PlayStation re-release) is the leader and strongest member of the Four Lords of the Elements. The ability to create and manipulate fire with his own hands makes him a worthy opponent, and his Cloak of Flames absorbs even Ice element attacks, unless it is open, revealing his legs. Rubicante is most known for his Glare attack, which deals massive fire damage to one character, likely exceeding the max HP value of characters at that stage of the game, being somewhat of a cheap move. Working with Dr. Lugae to raise the Giant of Babel, he is the archenemy of Edge. Cecil and Edge later defeat Rubicante in the Tower of Babel and the Giant of Babel. Unlike the other Lords, he is very honorable and even heals Cecil's party before fighting them; This is shown to not be out of pride, as he advises Edge to not let his anger get the best of him, as it will merely blind him. He did not authorize Lugae to transform Edge's parents into monsters, and apologizes to Edge for the deed before they battle. Cecil must face him again within the Giant of Babel, fortunately his cloak is open more often this time around. Also appears in Dawn of Souls in the final level of Hellfire Chasm.
