== Background ==
Zeganirn, the Father of the Endstone Deltas, was an End Dancer and an Ender Lord. He ruled the End Dancers, who had formed a tribal civilisation in the Endstone Deltas, which held no proper seat at the table of the Ender Lords.

===Backstory===
Zeganirn was an ancient enderman who hailed from the Endstone Deltas. Nobody knew exactly how old he was.Olaguer, Rain [radapedaxa] (October 8, 2022). "Zeg, for example, is an ancient enderman. No one really knows how long he has existed. He just likes to run around in the Endstone Deltas with the ender wolves." Discord message.Olaguer, Rain [radapedaxa] (January 19, 2019.

He spent his days running across the Endstone Deltas with the Ender Wolves, and became the ruler of the End Dancers' tribal society.Olaguer, Rain [radapedaxa] (July 2, 2024). "The End Dancers are more of a tribal civilization than a kingdom. They’re quite primitive." Discord message. He was titled the Father of the Endstone Deltas, or the Apex Dancer. Accordingly, the inhabitants of the Endstone Deltas called themselves his 'children'.War of the Ender Kingdoms Trailer, 2:16–2:22Olaguer, Rain [radapedaxa] (December 31, 2022). "the title 'Father' doesn't mean he's the literal dad of everything that lives in the endstone deltas. 'Father' could be just a title and the dwellers of the deltas are called his 'children.'" Discord message. Despite being an Ender Lord, Zeganirn was not a member of the End Council because his people were 'more of a tribal civilisation than a kingdom', although it is not known if he was rejected or just never joined.
===War of the Ender Kingdoms===
The War of the Ender Kingdoms arose when the Void Kingdom embarked on a campaign to conquer the other Ender Kingdoms and take their end crystals. To prevent this happening to the Endstone Deltas, Zeganirn joined a Dragonspire-led alliance called the Ender Watchers. The Ender Watchers won the war, but most of the End Dancers were slain. To this day, nobody knows if any other End Dancers other than Zeganirn survived.Olaguer, Rain [radapedaxa] (September 27, 2021). "His kind lives in the Endstone Deltas. A lot of the End Dancers were slain during the ancient war of the Ender Kingdoms. To this day, no one knows if there are other End Dancers." Discord message.
After the war, Zeganirn joined the Ender Watchers as they built a city, New Dragonspire, in the Dragonspire archipelago. There, they locked away the end crystals so that their power could not be abused again, despite not having the other Ender Lords' consent. The Ender Watchers became completely isolated from the other kingdoms, and the Ender Lords who were part of the alliance had their kingdoms taken over by new rulers.
==Fractures==
The Ender Watchers first appeared in "Cold as Ice", where they attacked the Frostbourne Castle because the used necromancy to cure a zombie. Rain, the resurrected warrior, threw an ender pearl into their portal and tamed the Ender Dragon, prompting the Ender Watchers to call off their forces and make peace with the Frostbourne. Ceris, Vordus, and Zeganirn appeared briefly twice, standing silently on an obsidian pillar while Rain tamed the dragon and when Rain returned to the Overworld. In "Goodbye", the Ender Watchers received an Eye of Ender from the Frostbourne asking for their help in defeating Herobrine. Ceris, Vordus, and Zeganirn arrived in the battle's midst. Zeganirn quickly massacred a group of zombies, saving the bandit Flint's life, while Ceris sliced Herobrine's head off. This put an end to the Undead War which had decimated the Overworld.
In "Ender Wish", Vordus had warned Ceris that it was their destiny to fall to the , led by King Naeus. Ceris challenged this belief by rallying the Endermen and Zeganirn himself with a rousing speech, declaring that they would go down fighting, buying time for their successor.
When the Nether-End Gateway was ignited, Zeganirn bravely led a brigade of Endermen into the Pigmen rows, slicing them viciously to smithereens as they ambushed them by teleporting above. He continued to fight on until being pinned by Hogsworth, who attempted to kill him by repeatedly stabbing him in the back of the head. However, the Pigman failed due to Zeganirn's bony armor as Zeganirn teleported, and Zeganirn was able to seize the Ender Chest with The Artifacts and teleport to the Overworld, surprising Naeus, who was in combat with Ceris. Zeganirn was able to teleport to the Coven Village where Rain and Stella were, laying wounded beside the Chest when the two approached.
===Wishing Dead===
In Wishing Dead, Zeganirn was adamant on buying Rain and Stella time to escape with the End Chest's contents, believing that there was nothing left to live for besides their protection and that of The Artifacts. Zeganirn waited in the village for the Assassins to appear, coming out of dozens of portals with Pigmen and Wither Skeletons. He watched as the Blaze and Wither Assassins inspected the empty Ender Chest. When the Blaze Assassin, Ifrit, realized it was a trap, Zeganirn pounced from the top of a building, throwing him into the water before stabbing Amon, the Wither Assassin, through the chest. He then went on to violently decapitate Namtar, the Pigman Assassin, bloodying the End Dancer's face, and face the surviving Djinn and the Nether Horde army head on.
===Falling===
In Falling, it was revealed he was successful in fending off the army but possibly at the cost of his own life, lacking an arm and fatally wounded during the fight. His final moments were spent sending unknown objects away through four End Chests and curing Stella of the Demon Curse. His body was laid to rest peacefully with a poppy in hand, as Stella mourned for him.
