Bana (XC2)

Bana is an antagonist in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. He is the greedy chairman of the Argentum Trade Guild.

Appearance and personality
Bana is a large teal Nopon, wearing a red apron and backpack with a monocle and several pieces of gold jewelry.

Bana is all about the money. He revels in his riches and is always looking for more, with nothing off the table if it means more gold, even willing to kill to get it.

Story arc
Bana, Chairman of the Argentum Trade Guild, hears of a skilled salvager called Rex. He calls for Rex and offers him a job for a total of 200,000 G, which is quickly accepted. The job goes well at first, but Rex gets away with the Aegis, instead of Malos and Jin bringing it back with "sad" tales of a dead crew. This infuriates Bana, since he was partly planning to get rich from the insurance on everything. Being told Rex and the others escaped southward towards Gormott, he rings up Consul Dughall to head them off.

Bana is later seen with in the Old Factory overseeing the production of Blade bots, which they plan to sell to Torna behind Ardainian senator Roderich's back (Roderich had been helping them acquire materials). Bana's plan includes holding out on Roderich until war breaks out between Uraya and Mor Ardain, so that he pays them more money out of desperation.

After the party defeats Muimui's Tirkin bodyguards, Tatazo reveals to the party that Bana was responsible for the apparent death of Professor Soosoo. Bana then reveals himself to the party, chatising Muimui for luring the party to the party, but failing to capture them. Bana is delighted that not only that the party brought the party to him, but the Aegis Mythra herself, intending to sell both the artifical Blades and Mythra, angering Rex. Nia then correctly guesses that he plans to sell the Blades and Ether Furnaces to Torna before having Lila attack the party, but she manages to break free from Bana's control, prompting him and Muimui to activate Rosa, a colossal version of Lila.

When the party reaches Artificial Blade Adjustment, Bana and Muiui unveils Rosa to the party before attacking them with her. The party had a difficult time, damaging her until Tora and Poppi arrived to unveil her QT mode to the party, shocking the villainous Nopon. With Tora and Poppi's help, the party manages to defeat Rosa, prompting Bana to flee to Bulge Harbor

Cornered, Bana is forced to cease the production of the artificial Blades after Rex threatens him to turn him over to the Ardainian army. Patroka and Mikhail then ambush the party. In the ensuring battle, Bana makes his escape. After the incident, Bana is stripped of his title as Chairman of the Argentum Trade Guild, being replaced by Niranira.

Bana then plots an assassination attempt on Queen Raqura at the summit being held in Indol to make it look like Mor Ardain was responsible to get back in power.
