Bavmorda the Luxu

Bavmorda (formally styled as Her Majesty Bavmorda, Sovereign of Nockmaar, Sorceress Magnific, Primal Priestess of Cults and Covens) is the main antagonist of Willow. She was a female Daikini, Willow's archenemy and a sorceress. At a young age, she managed to marry Mikal Tanthalos, the crown prince of Tir Asleen, and remove her rival, the good enchantress Fin Raziel. After successively eliminating her parents-in-law, her husband, and the citizens of Tir Asleen, she started building her own empire, using purges, secret trials, public executions, and unceasing war to tame her subjects.

There was, however, a prophecy stating that one day, a child would be born who would dethrone her. Knowing of that prophecy, Bavmorda ordered the capture of all pregnant women throughout her domain, and those expectant mothers were penned in the Nockmaar dungeons. However, the prophesied child, Elora Danan, was spirited away as soon as she was born, and Bavmorda tasked her daughter, Sorsha, to find the fugitive midwife and the baby. Thanks to a series of incantations, the Queen planned to exile the child's spirit into oblivion. However, her plans were utimately thwarted by an unlikely hero, a Nelwyn farmer and trainee magician named Willow Ufgood.
