Lord Varohl is the main antagonist of the 1989 fantasy OVA Legend of Lemnear. He is the lord of Valkyras and a brutal tyrant who seeks to destroy the prophecy made against him. He is also known as the Champion of Gold.

He was voiced by the late Nobuo Tanaka in Japanese and by Harvey Shane in the English dub.

What Makes Him Pure Evil?

• He regularly has Gardein, his second-in-command, lead massacres against entire villages and killing their entire populations, with Lemnear's hometown being an example of such attacks.
• Once he reveals himself to Lemnear, he reveals that he kidnapped Messhu, her brother, and proceeds to torture him using electricity while making him watch as he physically dominates Lemnear.
• He kills Messhu by impaling him, and then kills Lemnear with an energy beam, although they later come back to life.
• When Messhu and Lemnear go against him, he angrily decides to destroy the world by raining fire from the sky out of spite.
• While he seems to have a possible Freudian Excuse, with him being made an outcast and eventually being exiled as a child and turning to dark magic to take over the world in order to have his revenge, this doesn't hold up, as Lemnear tells him that he let his ambition swallow him and given that he tries to destroy the world out of spite instead of revenge, he appears to be motivated out of ambition in the present day instead of his past.
