House of the dead Magician Boss

—House of the dead 1– In his mad research to cure his terminally-ill son Daniel, geneticist Dr. Roy Curien produced two genes: the Magician and the Wheel of Fate. Both were poised to "change the future", but at the expense of humanity. On December 18th, 1998, Curien unleashed his macabre creations upon fellow DBR researchers. While AMS agents Thomas Rogan and "G" fought through his mansion, Curien tended to the incubated Magician, who was awakened when the agents confronted Curien. However, the Magician revealed that he obeys no inferior being, and thus killed Curien.

He escaped onto the balcony, where Rogan and G fought and defeated him. The Magician warned the agents that they "...haven't...seen...anything yet!" before exploding. —House of the Dead 2– Just over a year after the Curien Mansion Incident, the Magician was reanimated by Caleb Goldman, head of the powerful DBR Corporation, furthering Curien's incomplete research into life and death. The Magician was housed at the Goldman building in Venice to oversee the creation of the Emperor and safeguard it during incubation. AMS agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart arrived at the building's front plaza to stop Goldman's plot, but before entering the building, they are waylaid by the Magician, now displaying loyalty to Goldman and the Emperor. This time around, the AMS agents had the upper hand, since information about the Magician's anatomy had been established from the Curien Case. They managed to destroy him once again, allowing James and Gary to resume their mission. —House of the dead 4– The Magician himself does not appear in THOTD4, but as in the third game, he makes a cameo as an extra point icon. When hit, it grants many points, but to compensate, it flies around in a quick manner to make shooting it more difficult. The Magician returns in Special, resurrected as the final boss. Prior to the arrival of AMS agents G and Kate Green, the Magician resides in a large, glass chamber, presumably during the process of his resurrection. G and Kate attempted to prevent him from escaping, but were too late to stop him from coming back to life. It is unknown if this was the original or a clone, though the dialogue before the fight indicates that he recognizes them as AMS "friends", and had been waiting for some time to enact his revenge for the pain he has endured. In the Bad Ending, agents G and Kate Green are attacked by multiple clones of the Magician, implying that he is indeed the original, once again revived from death.

Here, the Magician is shown to have energy surging on his weak points instead of them pulsating, and is shown to be more powerful than his previous incarnations. He also bears a purple aura. Before actually emerging to battle the AMS agents, the Magician launches a salvo of fireballs at them from within his incubation chamber. This triggers a quick time event in which the players have to shoot all of the fireballs down to avoid taking damage. The Magician emerges after the attack's conclusion, regardless of the player's success or failure in deflecting it.

After diminishing the Magician's health, he will summon and attempt to open Pandora's Box. The player is given the chance to stop it with a grenade. If the player fails in stopping the Magician from opening the box, he will proceed to release numerous clones of himself from incubation, showing that the Magician had cloned himself. laughing evilly, implying that he will attack and overwhelm the AMS agents and then all of humanity with his clones, resulting in the Bad Ending. This ending also implies that the Magician is indeed Curien's original Magician, which had been resurrected.

In the Good Ending, the Magician is fatally wounded by a grenade and succumbs to a violent explosion once more. With his final breath, he has time to utter one final monologue - "Nothing can erase my pain".

However, after his demise, Thornheart appears at the Magician's incubation chamber. Upon entering the chamber, he remarks, "So, Pandora's box has been closed... that is if there is any hope left, the Wheel of Fate cannot be stopped."
