Roc

Roc is a powerful entity, often depicted as the dictator of Grandnest, and frequent antagonist of the series. Roc is the prime example of the existence of The Throned One, being introduced in the series as the first one to be bound to the Hewn Throne left by the Ancient Ones in the Valle Verdance.

History
For a majority of the Roc's appearances in the series, he is the sole ruler of Grandnest. Roc, while in power, is responsible for many atrocities, most notably the Incursion of Grandnest.

Overall mysterious, Roc's background, and even motives, are seldom explored. Migrate is the only game so far which reveals, upon the true ending, his true identity. Of this we only get a glimpse, at the same time the concepts of the Hewn Throne are explored. However, there is also a secret completionist ending which complicates things with yet another (possibly alternate reality) form of the villain, who is even stronger.

Powers and Abilities
Aside from his frequent antagonism of the heroes of Grandnest, Roc's powers never seem to be fully explored. Roc's command over a powerful legion of warriors leaves him, more often than not, plotting on the backline. The powers he does display, namely telekinesis and pyrokinesis, are often enough to defeat anyone challenging him directly. His apparent deep attunement to the Hewn Throne makes him the most emblematic of The Throned Ones. As with any other Throned One, removing him from power must be done indirectly - this is often achieved by timeline manipulation, a battle on the Astral Plane, or a powerful mental battle.

Notably, Roc seems to have the unique power to cast his presence anywhere in the world, appearing as a flaming ball in the sky. His influence in this form, however, seems to be limited to what the fireball itself can touch. This makes escape, and even dispellation, possible. It is this form which is used to prod players on once a level timer has expired in Migrate.

Trivia

 * Early in development of the series, Roc was originally called only "The Eagle".
