Byrne

Byrne is a character in Spirit Tracks. He is a servant of Chancellor Cole, as well as the boss of the final floor of the Tower of Spirits. When Link, Princess Zelda, and Alfonzo are on their way to the Tower of Spirits, they are confronted by the Byrne and the Chancellor. As a result, he captures Zelda's body after she has been killed.

History
When Byrne was younger, he was an apprentice of Anjean, at the Spirit Tower. He desired power, and wished that the good spirits would grant it to him. When he found that nothing he did granted the power he desired, he left. He decided to become even more powerful than the spirits, and the only thing with that kind of strength was Malladus. Thus, he began working with Chancellor Cole to ressurect the ancient demon.

Strategy
Byrne will jump from pillar to pillar, of which surround the arena, while he attacks Link with his clawed hand. If Zelda grabs his arm, she will pull him off the pillar, and onto the floor, where he will be vulnerable for Link to attack. This combo is repeated throughout the battle, however Byrne will begin to adapt, and attack Zelda as well.
