Balthazar is a minor antagonist in the Neopets website.
He is a cruel hunter that captures and sells faeries for a living. Abandoned by his parents at a young age, he became a source of mockery for the Dark Faeries. This fuels his passionate hatred for faeriekind, turning him into the villain he is today.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He has made it a hobby to capture faeries at night and then sell them off for profit.
- He likes to snack on petpets when he isn't busy hunting faeries.
- He frequently tries to consume Samrin's herd of petpets and is even willing to devour Samrin as well if the kacheek gets too close to him.
- When he finds out all of the faeries in Neopia have turned to stone, he celebrates the situation, punches a petrified air faerie, and goes back to release all his bottled faeries knowing they would also be petrified upon release, not caring in the slightest about the disasters befalling Neopia otherwise.
- During the Faerie Festival of 2023, he takes advantage of Illusen's weakened state to imprison her within a bottle. He even considers outright killing her rather than honor his deal with Malkus Vile.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He has a somewhat sympathetic backstory where he was abandoned by his parents in the haunted woods where he was bullied by Dark Faeries. This is a minor prevention though as Dark Faeries are known to be troublemakers, yet Balthazar takes it out on all faeries.
