Well, here goes nothing!

  • Zant the Usurper King from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was once an embittered, hateful servant to the Twilight Realm's royal family. Furious that he was passed over for the crown due to his power-hungry nature, Zant soon found Ganondorf, who had been banished to the Twilight Realm and came to see him as a god and became fanatically devoted to him. Having been granted godlike power from him, Zant transformed the realm's inhabitants into dangerous, mindless monsters while he also transformed its rightful ruler Midna into an imp-like creature and set out to leave the world that he hated so much by conquering the Realm of Light. Leading a violent campaign against Hyrule, Zant forces its ruler Princess Zelda to surrender on threat of him slaughtering its inhabitants outright, and imprisons her while slowly transforming the kingdom into a Twilight hell. When Queen Rutela of the Zoras fought back against his forces, Zant personally executed her to show what would happen to those who defy him, and froze over Zora's Domain entirely in order to kill its inhabitants. As for the rest of the kingdom, his evil is felt everywhere, with Shadow Beasts attacking and transforming people into more of the foul beasts and the kingdom's citizens fearing for their lives against this new threat. And whenever Link and Midna finally confront him in their final battle, Zant reveals that under his cold and ruthless mask, he's truly a psychopathic brat whose motives can basically be described as a spoiled child being told "no".

So what do you think? I feel that it could use some tweaking myself, but I tried my best to capture everything monstrous about him in this theoretical post.
