Zenos’s Backstory
Behind every villain is a tragic backstory, and Zenos is no different.
Essentially raised by his tutors, Zenos grew up without the joys and innocence of childhood.
Later, Zenos, along with his viceroy, Yotsuyu, oversaw the subjugation of Doma.
He does so with the help of Yotsuyu, slaughtering the Red Kojin in Doma and receiving the Ame-no-Habakiri.
He uses this sword to thwart an assassination attempt by the Warrior of Light and Yugiri.
Consumed by this idea, Zenos prepares a welcome party for the Warrior of Light at Ala Mhigo castle.
However, this is far from the last we see of Zenos.
Fortunately, Estinien arrives at the last moment, saving the Warrior of Light.
With that, he leaves for Garlemald.
Reluctantly, the Warrior of Light accepts his aid, and the two successfully defeat her.
Zenos is left there at the edge of the universe as the Warrior of Light is teleported to safety.
For now, this ends the saga of Zenos.
