Zahhak

Zahhak (also known as Azi Dahaka) is a villain from Persian mythology who is the son of Ahriman the supreme god of darkness and evil. Zahhak ruled the entire physical world for 1,000 until he was defeated by the mortal hero Freydun who was endowed with divine power by Ormuzd the supreme god of light and justice.

Zahhak was imprisoned in Mt Damavad by the hero and prophesied to only return at the end of the world. He is released from his prison by the Apotheosis Initiative.

Personality
Zahhak is highly intelligent and manipulative, but can also be short-sighted and arrogant. Zahhak seems to over estimate his charisma and Machiavellian talents.

Zahhak is motivated by greed and fear; he sees the worst in everyone and is able to control people by appealing to their vices and their fears. Seeing the worst in everybody has also made Zahhak paranoid, the more power he obtained the more paranoid he became and this fear is what made him into a tyrant.

The only person Zahhak has any true loyalty towards is his own father Ahriman the spirit of darkness and evil.

Zahhak believed he could easily earn the trust of the Apotheosis Initiative, take over the organization from the inside and betray the people who released him from his imprisonment. Zahhak didn't count on the Apotheosis Initiative not being run by morons.
