 It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad Movie: Reader Review: Hawk the Slayer, by Steve Ellis
The second is called Voltan (or, if you prefer "Vooollllltaaaannn"), who wanders the land burning villages, killing children, and being in league with an "evil wizard." You know that Voltan is the bad guy because he shouts, wears fl, and is played by Jack Palance (a bold casting move, that).
Early on, Voltan "the dark one" (as he is referred to in hushed tones) kidnaps a nun and locks her in a cage in his tent (his evil knows no bounds).
Voltan tries to kill Hawk, Hawk "thinks of the sword in his hand, and it is so," and he kills Voltan.
