Ganon (Total War)

King Ganon is the leader of the Moblins.

Biography
His parents murdered and his homeland scorched by Hylian Knights during his childhood, Ganon made it his lifelong goal to return the favour. Despising everything about the Hylians, Ganon will not rest until he slaughters every single one of them and defiles their holy relics. A massive creature in his own right, while his size certainly is something to be terrified of the true feature of Ganon that all fear is his cunning and intelligence. While not exactly a scholar, Ganon's skill in commanding, organising, and strategy nearly lead him to topple the Kingdom of Hyrule once and for all.

Involvement
Ganon was born in Demise and grew up during one of the numerous conflicts between the Hylians and the Moblins. His father died during the war and his mother was killed by the Hylians in front of him. With her last words, she told him that the Hylians are barbaric monsters who don't know any better than slaughter. Moments later, Demise appears before Ganon, saying that he would not stay idle any longer.

Ganon eventually becomes king of the Moblins after many years. He gathers the leaders of the Blin races and forms a plan to destroy the Hylians, by capturing Princess Zelda, daughter of King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule and forcing her to reveal the location of the Triforce, the divine power of the Goddesses.

Ganon succeeds in capturing Zelda and occupying two Hylian towns, Lon Lon Ranch and Kakariko, but Zelda remains silent on the Triforce's location. Fortunately for him, a renegade Sheikah called Bongo agrees to help him discover the location of the Triforce from the Princess, if he helps her to seek something in the Shadow Temple. Inside, Ganon's army encounters the Stalfos, something neither him nor Bongo foresaw. However, Ganon succeeds and manages to vanquish a demon called Dethl.

With the help of Bongo's Eye of Truth, Ganon discovers the location of the Triforce: Hyrule Castle. The Moblins, alongside their Gerudo and Darknut allies, manage to take the city. The King of Hyrule has already moved the Triforce after his daughter was captured, though Bongo learns of its location at Spectacle Rock.

Ganon takes control of the Fire Temple from the Gorons and attempts to extract the Triforce from Spectacle Rock. However, Ganon was not aware of Bongo's ulterior motives: the real Triforce is under Lake Hylia in the Water Temple, and Bongo lied to Ganon in order to covet the Triforce for herself and her followers, the Dark Interlopers. During this fruitless endeavour, Ganon's army is attacked by the Hylians under command of Zelda and Impa, and he is killed in battle.

Ganon is buried in the Gerudo Desert. Demise later tries to use the Gerudo warlord Ganondorf as a sacrifice to resurrect him.

In-game
King Ganon appears at the start of the Freeform Campaign as the leader of the Moblins, however as he is a boss rather than a hero unit, he can't be a general.

He also appears in his Gerudo form, Ganondorf, as a hero for the Gerudo.
