Zant (Total War)

Zant is the son of the Twili King Mizorant and heir to the Twili throne by blood.

The Realm of Twilight
Being the only son of King Mizorant, Zant is raised to be his father's successor. However, his father rejects the influence of the three Great Fairies: Veran, Morsheen and Una, who have controlled all Twili Kings up until him; and for this reason they have his armies disbanded against his will and assassinate him in the Palace of Twilight, then cast Zant aside in favour of his fiancée Midna.

Being denied the throne, Zant's love for Midna is eventually replaced by envy for what his father promised him. In secret, Zant consults his father's secret associates, forms an army from Mizorant's personal guards and his pet, the Shadow Bloat Olg which he has raised since he was a child. Knowing that this army can't be enough to usurp the throne, Zant travels to the prison of Valran to free Lady Middee, head of the Bonemold Monks who was abandoned and imprisoned by Midna, then heads to Elmenzhia, defeats Una and gains her army of Twili Sorceresses.

Interested in Zant's ambition, Veran begins to experiment to see if she could keep him on a leash rather than Midna, and tests him against her armies. After Zant proved himself a formidable warrior and leader figure, Veran works with him to overthrow Midna.

Some time after claiming the throne, Zant forms an alliance with the Parella, who became stranded in the Realm of Twilight after attempting to go to Hyrule via the Mirror of Twilight, in order to construct new portals to invade Hyrule.

The Gerudo Wars
With the mirrors completed, Zant, Veran and General Onox march into Hyrule and assault the Zora Dominion. With the aid of Parella forces the capital is nearly destroyed, and Onox nearly succeeds in poisoning Hyrule's water supply. He is stopped and killed by Princess Ruto however, and soon after the Zora begin to push Twili forces back. Zant orders a retreat, though Veran refuses to leave without Onox and becomes trapped in Hyrule as a result.

Manifest Destiny
After Veran finishes the construction of the Black Tower in Lynna City, a monument secretly designed to house a Mirror of Twilight, she contacts Zant from the other side. He then quickly deploys his armies, push back the invading Kingdom of Hyrule and Fairies of Tarm, then follow Veran to the Tarm Ruins in Holodrum, where she frees her imprisoned sister Dezaia and seals the Essence of Tarm.

Fairies loyal to Valanvi the Fairy Queen begin a counterattack. With the aid of Link they are able to overcome both Veran's Fairy and Zant's Twili armies, killing Dezaia in battle and most of the Korrigans. After Valanvi frees Tarm and kills Veran, Zant orders the Twili to retreat from Lynna City to the Realm of Twilight.
