  • Complete Monster: Ranadev Billa is the power-hungry nephew of King Vikram and jealous cousin of Princess Devi, who not only lusts after the princess, but also wants the throne for himself. After Ranadev tries forcing Princess Devi to accept him at knifepoint, only to be caught red-handed by the warrior Kala Bhairava, Ranadev attempts to have Kala Bhairava killed in a chariot race by sending mercenaries to sabotage Bhairava's chances of winning and knocking him into quicksand. Losing the race and subsequently expelled, Ranadev Billa defects to the rival Shere Khan Empire and personally leads the army to invade, days before the wedding of Kala Bhairava and Princess Devi, with Ranadev personally killing his uncle King Vikram and ordering his army to massacre everyone in the palace. Even after Kala Bhairava accepts a challenge to battle a hundred Shere Khan warriors and wins, convincing the Emperor of Shere Khan to withdraw, Ranadev still insists on fighting the badly injured and exhausted Kala Bhairava. When Ranadev ultimately loses the duel, in a last act of spite, he kills Princess Devi with a flung dagger, forcing the lovers to be separated for 400 years.
