Balder was a skilled Lumen Sage who carried the Right Eye of the World—until he got exiled from his own people for the ultimate taboo: falling in love with an Umbra Witch and having a kid with her. That kid turned out to be Bayonetta, though their relationship gets. complicated.
In Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, Balder basically mind-controls Jeanne into fighting Bayonetta and hunting down her Left Eye. His real goal? Pairing it with his Right Eye to summon Jubileus, The Creator—a full-on deity. He's not just some antagonist in the background; he's the driving force behind the whole mess, and fans often point out how his exile and bitterness shaped everything that follows.
