The Economancer

"Why should I fight you... when I can pay someone to do it for me?"

—Economancer[src]

The Economancer is the final boss of the Dungeon of Greed, and the main antagonist of Episode 1.

After Ocho Octavius and Apophis D'Meityrnght accidentally cause massive inflation by giving away large amounts of gold to locals, they are forced to fix this by taking down the Economancer, who is said to have taken control of the weakened local economy.

Weapons and Abilities
Physically, the Economancer is rather fragile, and doesn't display any combat skills of his own. He makes up for this by using his wealth to hire a mercenary who battles in his stead, like the near invincible Diamond Golem.

He also has the ability to float a short distance up in the air, which he uses to avoid danger when he has no mercenary left to protect him.
