King Zarkon

About Zarkon
King Zarkon is one of the most bloodthirsty conquerors in our entire galaxy and the ruler of Planet Doom.  He's old, at least a thousand years, but don't let his age, something that Haggar has helped him attain through magic, fool you into thinking he's someone to mess with.  In his long reign he's taken over more planets than I can keep track of and still has plenty of time to hang out in Castle Doom and think up more strategies for conquering Planet Arus, as well as fend off weekly assassination attempts from his son. 

Zarkon is the patriarch of the Doom royal family.  He has at least one son, Prince Lotor, who is next in line for the throne.  He has no wife, but at one point he was married to Lotor's mother, who has not been in the picture for many years, since Lotor was pretty young.  Zarkon also apparently has at least one other child, because Lotor has nephews according to this conversation he had with Merla. This other kid of Zarkon's hasn't shown up at Castle Doom since I've been there though, and given how cranky Zarkon can get when you broach a touchy subject with him, I'm not about to go and ask.  I like my job too much, and besides, Haggar gives me the best dirt anyway.  She has hinted that Zarkon has a kid named Mary Sue somewhere that shows up from time to time, but everyone finds her really annoying when she appears and they kick her back off the planet as soon as possible.

To summarize, King Zarkon is an ambitious, ruthless, bloodthirsty, evil bastard, and in this commander's opinion, an all around great guy.  I really admire him!  And I'm not just saying that because he's my boss, honest!  (By the way, sire, if you're reading this, have you given any more thought to that raise I put in for?)
