## History

### Background

#### Childhood

Torin Zanamiver was born on June 28, 873 years after the existence of the Fairy Council. His father was a diplomat from the Fairy Kingdom to the Northern Kingdom. As a child Zanamiver was "different" from the others, overall from the lack of smiles as a child, and like his family, he was expected to be magical. At the age of six he manifested it in a very scientific method in physiology and was sent to the Alchemy Institute, under the guidance of Doctor Ulrich Coleman.

#### Schoolyears

Zanamiver was an underachiever in school, being bottom in his class of 14. As a result he was heavily bullied by his classmates, who saw him as a loser, eventually one day he could no longer stand any of the bullying and killed a classmate and strung him up in the Zoology Department. When confronted by Coleman, Zanamiver just replied coldly, saying the classmate deserved it, and then proceeded to murder the other classmates at the finals exam. The only surviving member of the classmates was prefect Trevor Bolton, who was appointed by Coleman to be the new teacher for his class. Zanamiver then completely disappeared that night, slipping past the Magbots' security system.

## Appearance

Zanamiver was a well-built and surprisingly handsome man, despite his use of dark magic and never wearing any disguisers. He stood over six feet in height, had a head of wavy wheat-blond hair and grey-blue eyes. like all doctors of the Brothers of Chaos, he wore a grey uniform with a dictator-esque peaked cap, a trench coat, and black boots. He also speaks in a charismatic English accent.

## Personality

Zanamiver is the definition of evil, a ruthless, psychopathic, sinister, and sadistic man and a brutal, power-hungry tyrant. He is also Machiavellian and demoralizing, and often drags people down to evil, which makes him the opposite of Hero, who often lifted people up. Like the Masked Man, Zanamiver's fatal flaw is his over-ambition, which would eventually devour him one day.

From the day he started as a child. Zanamiver was an unfeeling, cold, and would only smile whenever he needed to keep his image up. However his true colors would only be shown when slaughtered his classmates.

Zanamiver was abusive to his nephew, never showing him any genuine love and often psychologically tormented him, leading to Albert's evilness in the future.

Overall, Zanamiver was a complete monster who gave took fun in being so. He overall stands as the antichrist to Hero's messiah.

## Trivia

* Zanamiver's various traits were taken from the following villains:
	+ Scar: His voice was meant to be very similar to Jeremy Irons' Scar voice. He also ruled the Dark Order with an iron fist like Scar's treatment to Pride Rock.
	+ Fire Lord Ozai: His abuse to Albert was meant to be very similar to Ozai's treatment of Zuko and Azula, the similarity is even referenced once where he threatens Albert with banishment. This can be considered ironic as Ferrari Fan believed King Elvin was a ripoff of Ozai and actually criticized it on the canon wiki.
	+ Lots-o'-Huggin-Bear: Like Lotso, he was a total tyrant, however at first he looked like a fair and mellow leader and deluded everyone from his goons to newcomers into believing so.
	+ Abdul-Aziz al-Razim (Alex Rider): He was a psychopathic monster from childhood, much like Razim, in addition.
	+ Lord Voldemort: Zanamiver, like Voldemort, also led a band of followers, some of them even masked. An interesting opposite between these two would definitely be how Zanamiver slaughtered his classmates, while Voldemort selected a few to be Death Eaters.
	+ Emperor Palpatine: Could be considered as the emperor (leader) of the Dark Order, in addition, his relationship with the Venganza Alpha could seem like Palpatine and Vader's relationship. He is also power-hungry, like Palpatine, and also is able to use magical lightning, which was based off of Force lightning.
	+ Grand Moff Tarkin: Shadow-commanded an entire superlaser which he wanted to use to destroy cities.
	+ Frieza: Like Frieza, he is also considered an evil warlord who would act polite as a facade but turn out to be a sadistic, ruthless monster.
* Zanamiver's surnamee was derived after a medication for flu with the second I (full name: Zanamivir) replaced with an E which Ferrari Fan believed sounded interesting so he decided to use it as his surname.
