Alright. The opponent in question is Gaius, from Tales of Xillia 1/2. Assuming you've never heard of him, i'll briefly tell what they have in common.

Both of them are black-haired and dark-clad villains-turned-heroes of anime-styled JRPGs. As the newly-crowned or recently replaced rulers of their respective kingdoms, they would do anything in their power to prevent any harm to befall their people, which has led to rather extreme measurements, leading to conflict with the heroes at first. However, both would eventually come to see the truth, leading to them joining the party, though not after a few boss battles. Compared to their teammates, they are relatively normal, yet known as two of the most fearsome warriors of their lands, which clearly shows during their first boss fight, and partially during the second (namely, them being able to fight the party despite the fact that the heroes had become stronger while they hadn't).

That's what i recall off of the top of my head.
