'''Bishop Ladja''' is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. He is one of the primary antagonists in the story, and is responsible for much of the hardships [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|The Hero]] endures.

==Story==
{{spoiler|start}}
Bishop Ladja is first seen in the [[Ancient Ruins]], blocking a young [[hero (Dragon Quest V)|hero]] and [[Harry|Prince Harry]] from escaping, and easily defeats them. When Pankraz arrives, he summons [[Kon the Knight]] and [[Slon the Rook]]. Threatening to kill his son, Pankraz is forced to stand down and is slain by Ladja with [[Kafrizz]]le. He and his minions carry the boys off to Mount Azimuth as slave labor for constructing a temple for the [[Order of Zugzwang]].

He is not seen again until [[Knightmare Towers]], after the hero defeats Kon. He reveals that the hero's wife is of Zenithian bloodline and is destined to bear the legendary hero, so he petrifies both of them to prevent this. Unbeknownst to him, she had ''already'' given birth to the [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|legendary hero]], who along with his [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|twin sister]] eventually rescued their father.

The hero and his children eventually encounter Ladja in the [[Talon Tower]], guarding one of the dragon eyes. After a boss battle, he departs. He is seen again in the [[Crocodilopolis]], where he kills off [[King Korol]], who was no longer needed by [[Nimzo]]. He is encountered for the last time in [[Mt. Zugzwang]], where the hero and party finally avenge Pankraz's death.
