'''Emperor Ganag Zor''', commonly known as '''Emperor Zor''' and '''Zor''', is a Cabal aristocrat of the Cabal [[Praetorate]]. He was responsible for a majority of the events preceding [[Emperor Calus|Calus]]' rule as [[Cabal Emperor|Emperor]], even being the one responsible for the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]]'s creation, the exile of the Empress before Calus and the rise of the greater [[Forum:Golden Legion|Golden Legion]]. Throughout the years, Zor was given a reputation of bringing order from chaos and was feared by his own species.

During the later inaugurations of Calus and [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]], Zor and his Legion would begin to lose power, however, but it would not destabilize his pride and hope for glory. From the shadows, Zor continued to raise his Legion from the ashes of Calus' and Ghaul's failed rules of Emperor and [[Dominus]] respectively, eventually raising an army far greater than the likes of the [[Red Legion]] and the later [[Shadow Legion]] in hopes to make his claim for the imperial crown.

Ganag Zor was born into a luxurious family within the Cabal Empire. At a young age, his parents would offer him to the aristocrats of the [[Praetorate]] as tribute, who saw the great potential in the young Ganag. He would be under watch by the aristocrats and was taught lessons to grow his own strength and power.

At some point, he would be offered a [[War Beast]] as his own pet. Seeing that his attention was slowly being drawn more to his pet than his own lessons, the Praetorate forced his War Beast to attack Ganag, leaving a scar on his left eye. Ganag would be forced to kill his own War Beast and grow a grudge against the members of the Praetorate. When he became of age, Ganag joined the ranks of Praetorate. During his inauguration, Ganag invited a dozen Colossi soldiers to the meeting and had them fire onto the members of the Praetorate, declaring that Ganag was dead and he was now '''Zor'''.

Zor would eventually appoint new members into the Praetorate, one of which he would become close friends with, the [[Consul]]. With his newfound power, Zor sought to revive the dying [[Forum:Golden Legion|Golden Legion]] and make it the personal army of the Praetorate. He would attempt and fail to revive the ancient [[Forum:Golden Fleet|Golden Fleet]] to begin a new Era of Conquest. To ensure his wealth and power, Zor saw to the construction of the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] to careen the ossifying body of the Cabal Empress at the time.

Zor would grow a fascination with one of the races that was subjugated by the Cabal, being the [[Psion]]s. He would come across one of the Freeborns known as [[Forum:Archborn Qodan|Qodan]] and became acquainted with them. He would learn much of the history of the Psions from Qodan, especially the ancient religions like their worship of [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]].
 
===Rise and fall of Emperor Calus===
{{Quote|I searched high and low searching for Zor within the wastelands. Many believed he died during the slaughter of the Council, others believed he committed suicide, but I found him, plotting to regain his power over the empire.|The Consul}}


When Calus staged an uprising against the Praetorate, Zor had secretly escaped the assassination of the Cabal senate alongside his close confidants. He would witness the paradigm shift of the Cabal's military and rewriting of history to favor the now Emperor Calus.

Zor plotted against Calus with the Consul and sought out the disgraced outcast known as [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]] and desired to use him as an instrument to topple Calus' regime from the inside. He would help the Consul to train Ghaul, he would even teach him that the throne was theirs by right and in order to reclaim it, they needed to take it for themselves. This inadvertently instilled the idea that Ghaul instead deserved the seat of power of the Cabal empire and not Zor. In the shadows, he sewed the seeds of distrust within Calus' own inner circle, turning the once great warrior [[Moli Imoli|Moli Imoli, the Everyjoy]] and the Primus of All Legions [[Umun'arath]], both were veterans who went against Calus during his own Coup against the Praetorate.
===Inauguration of Emperor Calus===
{{Quote|I searched high and low searching for Zor within the wastelands. Many believed he died during the slaughter of the Council, others believed he committed suicide, deep down I know he is still out there, plotting to regain his former power.|The Consul}}


When the [[Midnight Coup (event)|Midnight Coup]] started, Zor himself stormed the capital and ordered his own guards to capture Calus and prepare him for execution. Before Ghaul could make his move, [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]] stayed his blade and instead believed that he deserved the fate that was put onto the previous Empress. Zor agreed with this action and had his guards round up any remaining loyalists to Calus and imprison them aboard the Leviathan and set the course to the outer fringes of the Cabal empire from which it would continue its course to the edges of known space. Ghaul would eventually claim the throne as Dominus, decreeing that there would be no more Emperors.

===The Advisor: Ganag Zor, the Unyielding.===
 
Of all of the loathsome Praetorate, it is only Zor that I both hate and pity.
 
In a way, I see a bit of myself in him. We both slaughtered Praetorate members when we became emperor. But I did so to bring forward an age of revelry for all of the Empire's citizens,  while Zor did so to ensure power for himself and his Loyalists.
 
It was he who led the Praetorate as its head, who used the Legions to control the people through fear and intimidation, who uncaringly constructed mighty weapons with the blood of his citizens.
 
When I overthrew the Praetoroate, Zor was one of the few who escaped justice. He schemed alongside the vile Consul, poisoning the minds of my confidantes with their hatred for my joy. I had hoped Ghaul would do what I could not, but knowing that Gluttonous Overachiever no longer rules the Empire does little to comfort me.
 
Zor must die.
 
He will not be so easily found. He will run and stay hidden like the roach he is.
 
You will have to lure him out. Bait him with power, a relic, a secret. Only then, will you have your chance.
