Ardos is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Eldes) of the video game Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
He is one of the five Cipher Admins. Besides being a Cipher Admin, he's also one of Grand Master Greevil's two bodyguards, the other one being Eldes. At the end of the game Ardos is revealed to be one of Greevil's two sons. The first time he is encountered, he is simply called "Mystery Man".
Personality[]
Unlike his father Greevil, or his brother Eldes, who both have redeeming qualities, Ardos is a psychopath fully dedicated to the Cipher organization. Even his loyalty to Cipher is nothing more than fanatical devotion as he is willing to force his own father to continue making more Shadow Pokémon despite the latter redeeming himself. He's also shown to be a bad boss as he suggested blowing up Citadark Isle to get rid of Michael, despite knowing there are Cipher Peons there.
Biography[]
Ardos saves Michael's sister from a thug at the beginning of the game, although he reveals later that this was only to make sure the public didn't find out about Cipher being back in business. He later ends up battling Michael to try to stop him from stopping Cipher's plot. As proven in the end of the game, Ardos appears to be completely loyal to Cipher, even calling his own father "Grand Master" Greevil. Ardos somehow manages to avoid arrest, and he can be battled in the sixth round of the Orre Colosseum. He explains to Michael that he fully intends to revive Cipher, and after that, he will declare Michael as Cipher's biggest enemy and having Cipher constantly watch him.
