Balder was a powerful member of the Lumen Sages who possessed the Right Eye of Light. He was the husband of Rosa and father of Bayonetta. He serves as the main antagonist of Bayonetta and is a major character in Bayonetta 2.
After breaking a sacred law among the Umbra Witches and Lumen Sages by conceiving his child with Rosa, Balder was exiled from his clan and inadvertently triggered the Clan Wars, which resulted in the extinction of the Sages. Being the lone survivor of the Lumen Sages, he was falsely believed to have started the Witch Hunts after the war.[3]
In the present day, Balder is the CEO of the Ithavoll Group, having become evil after trapping the soul of Aesir[4], and plans to awaken his daughter's Left Eye of Darkness in order to resurrect the dea, Jubileus, and remake reality in his own image.[3]
In Bayonetta 2, a younger Balder is brought from the past into the present by Loptr, who convinces him that Loki is Rosa's murderer. With a desire for revenge, Balder proceeds to hunt down Loki for the majority of the game, which gets him into conflict with Bayonetta. He is also a playable character in Tag Climax.
