Zymphorius

Zymphorius was a tyrant and a puppetmaster for thousands of dark acolytes and the man behind the war. He was taken in by Rahrtag as the Body Master of the endocrine system. He ran away from his newfound home into the shadowy fortress of Eminass and the Shadow Master Delkor. Delkor taught sorcery and black magic to the young man and made him his student. Zymphorius became corrupted.

He recruited the son of Delkor, McNaughton, as his right hand man and became the boy's teacher and guide in the dark arts. Delkor was defeated, making Zymphorius the Shadow Master and McNaughton the heir to Eminass. Zymphorius manipulated McNaughton into giving power to him. He corrupted the Octavius Firm and led them to produce weapons for all three sides in his war. McNaughton, Dr. Binler and Kento Bane framed Argul and Durse for the murders of their wives. The war soon began.

Zymphorius made his presence known at Toon Peak where he killed Tark Darvin. He soon corrupted Avalaire Xare and made him a spy for Argul's side, as McNaughton was already placed in Takata's Empire. When Zymphorius arrived at the Octavius Firm he was attacked by Gataka, who was surprisingly rescued by Durse Takata, who knocked out Chrato and killed the guards. Zymphorius was forced to retreat. He later sent Xare after Argul's son when he realized only a Body Master's first born son could kill him. This resulted in the death of Rahrtag.

Zymphorius ordered Dr. Binler to invent a doomsday device, a humanoid creation called Apocalypse. He was killed during the detonation of Apocalypse, but resurrected by his only friend, the sorceror Kento Bane. General Moman returned command to Zymphorius upon his return. McNaughton and Blade had betrayed him. In the final battle he was killed by Durse Luguininoh. The resistance won the war.
