Zoldeo

Zoldeo (ゾルディオ Zorudio) was a member of the Grimoire Heart Guild and one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory through possession of Capricorn's body, being known as Caprico (カプリコ Kapuriko) during this time.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 209, Page 7Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 213, Page 8 He died after being forcefully removed from his possession of Loke's body.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 224, Pages 13-15
==Appearance==
Zoldeo has a somewhat ghastly appearance. He has puffy hair kept back by a headband adorning cross designs by the sides and which has a blue trim. He has scars on both sides of his cheeks, and dark bags under his eyes. He wears what appears to be a long white robe with large sleeves. A design similar to that on his headband can be seen on the the robes' wrist area. He layers the robe with a long purple waistcoat with a black trim and a golden collar; a violet-colored cloth can be seen on the inside. He also wears large baggy violet pants.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 224, Pages 15-17
==Personality==
In the past, Zoldeo was shown very loyal to Layla Heartfilia, admiring her to a great extent and after her death he personally went after Grammi, who he believed was responsible for Layla's death.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 468, Page 17 The death of Layla and guilt of murdering a friend presumably drove Zoldeo to the darker side of Magic where he became corrupted.
While inside Capricorn's body, Zoldeo has a calm, serious demeanor and shows little emotion, just like several of his fellow guild members. However, he does not maintain his emotionless demeanor for long; when he realizes that Lucy Heartfilia is Layla Heartfilia's daughter, he enters a frothing rage.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 223, Pages 18-20 He looked forward to battling Fairy Tail Mages, whom he said should not be underestimated.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 210, Page 7
Zoldeo’s admiration for Layla had also become twisted, as he had no issue attempting to kill her daughter Lucy. He even considered using his Magic to subjugate her to his will, noting with a sinister grin that she’s just as beautiful as Layla was.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 224, Pages 10-11
==History==
thumb|200px|left|Zoldeo receiving Capricorn's key
In X764, Zoldeo gained Capricorn's key after Layla Heartfilia was forced to retire due to a physical breakdown. Her trust in him was apparently mutual as he was grief stricken after her death and even killed Grammi, who he believed was responsible for his master's death and wanted revenge on. Grammi accepted her fault but requested Zoldeo to not harm her daughter; Brandish which he seemed to have agreed to. He was expected to hand it over to Lucy, if she ever chose to pursue the path of Magic, which he initially obliged but he became twisted and corrupted, and was swallowed up by the darker side of Magic. At one point, he broke a taboo of the Celestial Spirits by using his Human Subordination Magic on Capricorn, and somehow ended up possessing Capricorn's body. It's because of this that Capricorn was able to stay in the human world for 17 years.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 224, Pages 6-8 At some point later in time, he was found by Hades and joined Grimoire Heart, becoming one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.
==Synopsis==
===Tenrou Island arc===
Caprico is first seen in Grimoire Heart's flying ship, saying they should not underestimate the Fairy Tail Guild and that he was born for this day. He is later revealed to be the boss of Yomazu and Kawazu.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 213, Page 8 As the airship draws closer to Tenrou Island, he mentions that he will take the upcoming battle seriously. He then looks on as an enormous Makarov intercepts the airship in the bay of Tenrou Island.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 214, Pages 15-18 After Makarov does battle with the airship for a while, Hades tells him to take everyone on board to the island, saying that he will personally take care of Makarov. Zoldeo complies, using his Magic to 'store' away all his guild members before flying out of the airship on his jet pack.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 215, Pages 3-7 As he flies over Tenrou Island, he releases numerous bubbles that contain the Grimoire Heart members. The members then land all over the island, ready to battle Fairy Tail members.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 215, Pages 10-13
As Lucy's group consisting of herself, Cana Alberona, Loke, and Gray Fullbuster begin dispatching the lesser-rank members, he appears and transports them away with his Magic, saying they don't have the strength necessary to defeat them and that he alone will suffice.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 217, Page 15
Lucy and Loke express surprise at him being a goat.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 217, Page 16 Utilizing great speed and powerful kicks, he quickly launches several powerful blows on all four of his opponents, knocking out Lucy and Cana and managing to hit both Gray and Loke with another kick, gaining the upper hand.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 218, Pages 10-11 As Cana and Lucy get back up, he explains to the four Mages what Grimoire Heart plans to do with Zeref: to create a world where non-Magic users cannot survive. Loke figures out why the four are having such a hard time fighting, and explains that Zoldeo's brand of Lost Magic is Human Subordination Magic, which dampens the Magic and fighting prowess of humans around him.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 223, Pages 6-9

Loke tells the others that their opponent is indeed Capricorn, a Golden Key Celestial Spirit, and that since he himself is not human, he can fight him on even footing, as he won't be influenced by the Lost Magic. Lucy is especially unwilling to leave Loke to fight alone, but eventually does so after the others persuade her to. As soon as the three depart, Loke powers up his fist with light and punches Caprico, knocking him backwards. He immediately responds by kneeing Loke in the stomach and then summoning a human named San Jiao Shin, who slashes Loke with a pole arm weapon. Caprico says that he has no master, and then ponders aloud about Loke's master. He then realizes that the blonde girl that Loke hastily sent away is the daughter of Layla Heartfilia and goes berserk, bellowing that he will not let Lucy get away in one piece.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 223, Pages 10-20

He tries to send his summoned warriors after Lucy, but Loke easily defeats them. Zoldeo then reveals himself as he uses the Magic that fused his spirit with Capricorn's body, Human Subordination Magic: Human-Raise, to take over Loke's body. He succeeds but is hit from behind by Capricorn, who uses a Regulus blast that Loke had transferred into him before Zoldeo swapped bodies. The attack forces Zoldeo from Loke's body and into his original form. Zoldeo, at first, rejoices at regaining his body, but soon realizes he is now nothing more than a spirit. He looks down and much to his horror, his body starts dissolving away. He begs Capricorn to save him, but the spirit ignores his pleas, leaving him to disappear away completely.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 224, Pages 2-15

==Quotes==
*(To himself) "That's it... Lucy trusts this body, so maybe I can trick her. Or maybe it'd be a better idea to make her into a slave and play around with her a little... she's beautiful just like her mother."Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 224, Page 11
