'''Evice''' (Japanese: '''ワルダック''' ''Wardack'') is the criminal mastermind behind [[Cipher]]'s activities in [[Orre]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Cipher Head''' (Japanese: '''シャドーのボス''' ''Shadow Boss'').

He disguises himself as the mayor of [[Phenac City]] under the name of '''[[Mayor Es Cade|Es Cade]]''' (Japanese: '''バックレー''' ''Backley''). In his disguise, he is a fat and jolly gentleman who appears to be worried about the increase in crime caused by [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]], yet as the head of Cipher, he appears to have done nothing to stop either of them, ensuring that Snagem and Cipher work without interference.

==In the games==
When [[Wes]] and [[Rui]] arrived in Phenac City, members of Cipher surrounded the city. One of them, [[Nascour]], was seen leaving Es Cade's house. Wes and Rui chased away the Cipher operatives from Phenac City, and Es Cade promised to investigate Cipher in return. However, he ended up leaving Phenac City shortly thereafter in a rage.

When the player and [[Rui]] first arrive in Phenac City, members of Cipher surround the city. One of them, [[Nascour]], is seen leaving Es Cade's house. The player chases away the Cipher operatives from Phenac City, and Es Cade promises to investigate Cipher in return. However, he ends up leaving Phenac City shortly thereafter in a rage.


After Wes and Rui defeated [[Miror B.]], [[Dakim]], [[Ein]], [[Venus]], [[Gonzap]], and Nascour at [[Realgam Tower]], Es Cade revealed his true intentions - his role as the head of Cipher, whom Nascour reports to. Evice provided Team Snagem with powerful technology. In return, Team Snagem snagged Pokémon from innocent Trainers, after which they were transformed into [[Shadow Pokémon]] at the [[Shadow PKMN Lab]], then shipped via [[The Under Subway]] and dispensed to the general public in [[Pyrite Town]] and [[The Under]]. Evice was also the one of who had had the [[Realgam Tower]] built. The diabolical mastermind wanted to attract wealthy Pokémon fans to the skyscraper and charge them money to see fierce tournaments between Shadow Pokémon.
After the player defeats Nascour, the supposed leader of Cipher, at the newly constructed [[Realgam Colosseum|Tower Colosseum]], Es Cade appears and reveals his secret identity as Evice, the secret leader of Cipher, whom even Nascour reports to. Furious for the damages done to his [[Shadow Pokémon]] plan, Evice challenges the player to one final battle to put a stop to him. However, he ends up being defeated, with even his ace, the ultimate Shadow Pokémon, {{p|Tyranitar}}, standing no chance. After the battle, [[Chief Sherles]] arrives to arrest Evice, but the rotund villain tries to make a quick getaway with a helicopter. His escape plan is put to a quick stop, however, as the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Ho-Oh}} appears and shoots down his helicopter with {{m|Sacred Fire}}, putting Evice's evil scheme to an end. He and Nascour are subsequently arrested by Sherles.


Evice challenged Wes to a battle to put a stop to him, but was defeated, with even his most powerful Pokémon, {{p|Tyranitar}}, standing no chance. After the battle, [[Chief Sherles]] arrived to arrest Evice, but the rotund villain tried to make a quick get-away on a helicopter. His escape plan was put to a quick stop, however, as the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Ho-Oh}} shot down his helicopter, and Evice's evil scheme was put to an end. He and Nascour were subsequently arrested by Sherles.
While Evice does not appear in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], he is mentioned by various NPCs. A woman in the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]] states that he is still safely behind bars, and Chief Sherles states that he was not the [[Greevil|true leader of Cipher]] after all.

Evice (Japanese: ワルダック Wardack) is the criminal mastermind behind Cipher's activities in Orre. He is the only character in the games to have the Trainer class Cipher Head (Japanese: シャドーのボス Shadow Boss).

He disguises himself as the mayor of Phenac City under the name of Es Cade (Japanese: バックレー Backley). In his disguise, he is a fat and jolly gentleman who appears to be worried about the increase in crime caused by Cipher and Team Snagem, yet as the head of Cipher, he appears to have done nothing to stop either of them, ensuring that Snagem and Cipher work without interference.

In the games

Mayor Es Cade in his office at Phenac City

When the player and Rui first arrive in Phenac City, members of Cipher surround the city. One of them, Nascour, is seen leaving Es Cade's house. The player chases away the Cipher operatives from Phenac City, and Es Cade promises to investigate Cipher in return. However, he ends up leaving Phenac City shortly thereafter in a rage.

After the player defeats Nascour, the supposed leader of Cipher, at the newly constructed Tower Colosseum, Es Cade appears and reveals his secret identity as Evice, the secret leader of Cipher, whom even Nascour reports to. Furious for the damages done to his Shadow Pokémon plan, Evice challenges the player to one final battle to put a stop to him. However, he ends up being defeated, with even his ace, the ultimate Shadow Pokémon, Tyranitar, standing no chance. After the battle, Chief Sherles arrives to arrest Evice, but the rotund villain tries to make a quick getaway with a helicopter. His escape plan is put to a quick stop, however, as the Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh appears and shoots down his helicopter with Sacred Fire, putting Evice's evil scheme to an end. He and Nascour are subsequently arrested by Sherles.

While Evice does not appear in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, he is mentioned by various NPCs. A woman in the Pokémon HQ Lab states that he is still safely behind bars, and Chief Sherles states that he was not the true leader of Cipher after all.
