Minion

Scorn, Spite, and Strife (Vile, Hate, and Strife in the Japanese versions) are the servants of Saruin in Romancing SaGa and Minstrel Song.

They represent the three aspects of Saruin's soul, which has been sealed away and cannot act without a manifestation on the outside world: The creations that even Elore couldn't anticipate. The Minions are sentient beings with personalities of their own; however, unlike the Elemental Lords, they are livid in their vile natures and stay loyal to their master. They seek Saruin's revival by collecting the Fatestones, fulfilling the evil god's wishes to consume the power of the stones and conquer the world of Mardias.

The Minions have many cultists as well as powerful monsters and demons under their command. They have orchestrated chaos and disarray in the world of Mardias, notably the attack on Isthmus Keep, the attacks and kidnapping of Constance and Lord Theodore, as well as all the troubles that are now facing the Bafal Empire and those of Kjaraht.

Following the fall of Istmus, Rosalia is now potentially in danger of attack from the Empire and Kjaraht. With the instability of the most powerful nations in Mardias, none can stop the army of monsters that the minions have amassed that lay in wait to destroy the world of man. But the Heroes pose a risk to all their plans. The minions send monsters and even go into battle themselves, to stop the player's character and their company from getting the Fatestones.

In the original game, they fight the heroes one by one and then in the dangerous triangle formation. In Minstrel Song, If one defeats all of them in the final dungeon, he'll have to fight all 3 before facing Saruin in said Triangle Formation, in which Saruin can learn the player's attack patterns.
