Venger is a cartoon viillian

Venger

He is the main villian of the Dungeons and Dragons TV cartoon

Background

In the mythical/magic Realm the main villian is Venger.  Nearly 7 to 8 feet tall he is a wizard who wishs to take over the entire Realm and rule it he rides a faithful black hell horse known as the Nightmare.  His main antagonist is Dungeonmaster an older wizard who is also his father. Venger has been trying to rule the Realm for 1,000 years...His master whom even he fears is  a evil enity known only as He those Name cannot be Said  [The Dungeon at the Heart of Dawn] . Two things which Venger fears especially are Tiamatt the five headed Queen of the Dragons [Hall of Bones and The Dragons Graveyard] and red heart stones [The Traitor].  Especially annoying to Venger besides Dungeonmaster are the following:

Karena..his younger sister and a rival in evil.  She is redeemed to goodness by Shelia [Citadel of Shadow]

Six of Dungeonmasters pupils...6 friends from Earth ages 8 to 15  who went on a Dungeons and Dragons amusement ride and were literally flipped into the Realm. They are:

Hank aka the Ranger. Age 15 He has a magic power bow along with the double responibilty of trying to get his friends back home and combatting evil-his deepest fear is failure to be a leader.  Venger regards the Ranger as his most personal enemy. {The Dungeon at the Heart of Dawn]

Eric the Cavelier. Age 15.He has a magic shield that can repeal magic bolts and organic properties.  On the surface a spolied rich kid,,,he actually has a hidden heroic side..in which he will sacrifice anything..even his life..to make sure his friends get home [Day of the Dungeonmaster]. His deepest fear is ridicule.

Diane the Acrobat. Age 14, With a magic staff she can disarm and fight oppoents bigger and stronger than herself.  Her soulmate is Kosar...whom she was forced to give up to save a community {Child of the Stargazer] Her hidden fear is becoming old and weak.

Presto the Magican. Age 14 With a magic hat he can conjure up anything...with Eric he is the comic relief part..since usally his hat usually misenterpets his bumbled instructions..although when he can focus...he can actually do magic quiite well. His solmate is the illusion female Varla. His hidden fear is losing his glases.

Shelia the Thief, Age 13  She has an invisibilty cloak an doubly  ironic item since her name in irish means Blind  and when her cloak is used she cant be seen..and she suffers from Monophobia  [The Fear of Being Alone] {Quest of the skelaton warrior].  In Garden of Zinn she politely declines an offer to become a Queen; In Citadel of Shadow it was her good heart that helped redeem Karena from Evil.  When she thought Hank had betrayed them [The Traitor] she was the one who was hurt the most...as she was in love with him. It was Shelia who defeated Venger when to save Karena from being killed  she used 2 magic rings agianst him-one immoblized him and the other imprisoned him [Citadel of Shadow] {This was also Vengers last appearence in the series}

Bobbi the Barbarian. Aged 8 when he came to the Realm he has his a birthday [Servany of Evil] which was his 9th [The Lost children]he was redressed as a Viking. His totem is a magic club with which he can shatter anything.  His hidden fear is being treated as a baby.  His soulmate is the claravient earth girl Terri who Bobbi had to make a heartbreaking choice of giving her up in order to save her from Venger [The Girl who dreamed Tommorrow]. Hie is very protective of Uni, Shelia and Terri

Uni..a female baby Unicorn who Bobbi adopted  when it was feeing from Tiamat. A comic relief animial whose unintelligable words echo Bobbi saccastic comments. She can teleport herself over distances like all Uniocorns although she lacks experience to do so on a regular basis [Valley of the Unicorns].  On one occasion she actaully  helped Presto by chanting a spell from his hat [Presto Spells Diasater]

The Dungeons and Dragons series  ran from 1983-1985 for 27 episodes {season 1 13 ep; seaon 2 8 ep Season 3 6 ep]  A never made 28th episode [Requiem] shows the Kids reedeming Venger from evil and had a added cliffhanger in which the kids have a choice of going home {if the series had been canceled] or of combatting evil [if a 4th season had been introduced]. However the actors produced a radio version of the script which is shown with a Portugesse comic book version on Youtube.
