Zarok

“

So, even from the shackles of death my old enemy pursues me! -Zarok,upon meeting Dan on Cemetery Hill.

”

Zarok is the antagonist of MediEvil and MediEvil: Resurrection.

Before MediEvil

Zarok was King Peregrin's advisor and court magician. But Zarok began to conduct horrific experiments on the bodies of the dead. When the king found out,he banished Zarok from the land declaring that 'The dead are to be honoured; not to be kept as play things of alchemists!' All of Zarok's living dead were routed out and destroyed. Zarok being an unforgiving soul went into hiding and vowed to wreak his revenge on he king. He employed the aid of Shadowy Demons to help him build his vast castle.

Under the cover of night Zarok's dark army spilled forth from their corrupt haven. The army marched south across the Silver Mountains and trough the Silver Woods. Soon afterwards even the Pumpkin lands belonged to Zarok.

Retaliation was swift and violent,King Peregrins forces led by the brave Sir Fortesque drove Zaroks army back from Gallows Town. There was much rejoicing, but the war was not over yet.

Zarok's army had overtaken the flood lands. From there they could march west to take the Enchanted Forest. Zarok knew they would try to stop him,so he prepared an ambush. This was the battle in which Sir Dan was killed. The history books said that he had defeated Zarok,seconds before dying himself. The truth was different,however. Zarok wasnt defeated.He returned to hiding,preparing for the day of his return.

MediEvil

100 years after the war,Zarok returned to Gallowmere once again. Using the powers of a spellbook spell,Zarok stole the souls of the townspeople and rose the dead.
