Zahard/Appearance and Personality

Appearance
Zahard is extremely tall and muscular for a human. He has golden hair and wears an armor with a long red cape that gives him a strong intimidating outlook. He seems to carry 3 weapons sheathed on his armor. His eyes have golden irides and his pupils are of different colors, his right eye's pupil is blue and his left one is red. He has 2 earrings with the shape of his symbol and what seems to be bands on both sides of his head. In the past, when confronting Khel Hellam's team, he wore a long-flowing red robe with multiple linings and sigils in the back and an earring with the shape of his symbol on at least his left ear. He also appears to carry at least a single weapon sheathed in his outfit during the Age of Genesis.

Personality
Not much of Zahard's personality is known. However, despite being well-respected and famous for all his achievements to those who know him, Zahard is known to be a cold and ruthless king. Although he sired the Princesses of Zahard and is known to play favorites with them, he does not consider them truly as his children, as proven by how he is not bothered by how even the ones his favored fought each other to the death and he would not hesitate to punish them for their mistakes. In addition, he even went as far as to create the Ghost of the 13 Month series to kill the princesses who managed to get close just because he had no intention of getting married. His firmness as a king is feared by all to the point that even when his orders could cause chaos to the entire tower, they still carried it out of fear. Kallavan described Zahard as seeing all others but himself and the 10 Family Heads as being completely equal. He does not care about the deaths of a few of his subjects, does not get distracted from the big picture, and is solemn and tranquil. Even towards his companions, Zahard could be aloof and uncaring, as shown by how he influenced his data self into deleting the data of his companions and in the present had no qualms with ordering the elimination of the Po Bidau Family when Gustang betrayed him by stealing an important object from him.

While his data indicated that Zahard once believed that destiny is absolute and even if he doesn't like his fate, he had to go along with it, the current Zahard has become more than willing to defy his destiny, stating that while he once believed that if his fate is to be eternal adventure then he would have to accept it, now that he can control fate on the same level of a god, he seeks to gain complete control over even fate, showing arrogance.

Zahard is calm and disciplined even in the face of handicaps, as displayed by how he remained fully composed even after failing to kill Baam, seeing his data-self working with Eduan despite admitting to being surprised by it and also calmly remarking on the space control skill that allowed Baam to escape from his grasp.

Towards those he dislikes, Zahard is shown to be not only able to be ruthless, but also show cruelty, as he took time to taunt Baam after rendering him at his mercy that he will kill everyone he cared for. He even admitted that he relished the chance of killing the son of the woman who rejected his love. He is also shown to be capable of mocking others, as shown when he mocked his data as a poor thing and fake for not knowing what happens in the future and being set to have a strong adverse reaction and start forgetting the names of those in his past as soon as they were mentioned, taunted Hwang for not only failing to complete his goal to leave the Hidden Floor but instead opening a way for him to enter, and called Khel Hellam a blind fool for believing he could defeat him and know everything just because he could see fate and yet unable to see the truth before him when it failed to live up to his visions.

However, Zahard is not entirely without emotions. He was noted to have fallen greatly in love with Arlen and later said he loved her more than anything. After becoming King, he proposed to her and despite the rejection and her declaring war on him, he allowed her and V to go into hiding after she could no longer attempt any rebellion. He has not moved on from Arlen despite all she had done to him and has no intention of getting married.

It has been hinted that Zahard was once a more noble and better person, as the "God" of guardians noted on how Zahard wished for power to make everyone in the Tower happy and noted he was similar to Baam at first but differed in that he sought to use his power to stand above others to be able to change them. Likewise, the mysterious person who talked to Dowon stated that he wasn't always like the person he is now. In addition, his data stated that his fate is to become King whether he likes it or not, suggesting that Zahard at first did not like his destiny but ultimately accepted it anyway.
