Someone/something with no interest to make deals and quite powerful as well. As long as nobody else gets past him/it he's gonna be the king of the Tower. The God of Guardians indicated twice now that the 'children' have been corrupted/ruined and lost their way and goal.

It's actually a super important point. Is Zahard content with what he has and tries to defend it or is he an ambitious conqueror type trying to venture forth at all cost? With all the information we have it seems like the former is a lot more likely, but given what the God of Guardians said that might have been different in the past and he/they changed. I think it has something to do with the Tower. Zahard might be content with himself at the moment, while he was meant to climb it, he stopped so he could expand his empire and become a god to the inhabitants. That's why he made it so that regulars could participate. I don't know about the Great Warriors but it's possible that Zahard is simply too powerful to disagree with. Arie Hon has faced him 10 times and lost every time. I read it that the Tower only open its door because it needs a change, and this is where Baam comes in. Zahard seems to have ruined the Tower and is foreshadowed that some guardians may be scheming against the actual status quo (Headon is one of them). In this moment there are a lot of people climbing the tower (regulars) that they are not suposed to do it, only irregulars should climb so maybe they are not very happy with that. In the other hand we have Baam that as you say seems to be prepared to climb the Tower, but only Baam not the other irregulars. So it can be seen Zahard and the 10 families as unwanted guests, and Baam as the pest exterminator hired by some guardians and other upset people from the tower.
