Zemeckis

is the ruler of the Esgares Empire.
==Profile==
===Appearance===
Zemeckis is a large, muscular man with reddish-brown skin, hazel eyes, and a mane of wild gray hair. He wears dark blue plate armor and a sword on his waist, but his weapon of choice is a huge crossbow with tremendous range and power.
===Personality===
Zemeckis is a ruthless conqueror who cares little to how his war has brought suffering and misery to the continent of Forsena and shows absolutely no mercy to his enemies, regardless of their motives for opposing him. Compelled by fear of being obsolete during a time of peace after ending the war against Norgard, he accepts Cador's temptation of pulling a coup d'etat against the Kingdom of Almekia out of the need of satisfying his lust for battle, as he admits to King Dryst.
Still, his complicated relationship with Esmeree, his acceptance of Mira and Millet despite the prejudice they face for being twins, his encouraging words to Lance, his respect and admiration for Lyonesse's kindness and Cai's wisdom, and naming of his empire after a historical utopia show a softer side to the warlord.
===Biography===
====Original====
Zemeckis was originally a loyal officer under King Henguist, but was talked into staging a coup by Cador. He killed the king, seized control of Almekia, and declared himself emperor of the new Esgares Empire, which he plans to expand through conquest until its borders stretch across the continent.
====Grand Edition====
Once leader of Almekia's army, he values only power and betrayed his king, seizing rule and founding the Esgares Empire. He wants to conquer the world and began bloody war that consumes Forsena. He is a fearsome presence in battle.
==Gameplay==
Zemeckis is a tremendous powerhouse when compared to the other five rulers. Already at Level 27 with high stats, he can easily survive on the front lines, wreaking havoc against the enemy with Geno-Thunder, being a danger towards the frail spellcasters using his Tempest Bow that can reach up to 3 hexes, and using Power to strengthen his and his allies' attacks. In Grand Edition, losing Geno-Thunder and being unable to fire his crossbow after moving reduces his flexibility, but the range of his crossbow increases and his counterattacks and melee attacks become a little stronger. He takes extra damage from attacks and spells with a Blue Element, but an enemy unit close enough to cast Fall Berg, Frost, or Geno-Frost on him is close enough for him to shoot.
Zemeckis begins the campaign with the following monsters:
Monster	Name 	Level
Tiamat 	War 	10
Demon 	Donna 	1
Fenrir 	Famine	10
Fenrir 	Plague	10
===Grand Edition===
In Grand Edition, Zemeckis changes in the following ways:
* He gains a melee attack called Gail Slicer.
* His range with his crossbow increases from 3 to 4, but he can no longer attack with it after moving.
* He loses Geno-Thunder.
* He gains Counter Damage +10%.
