YMMV / The Trigan Empire

• Complete Monster:
  • King Zorth of the Lokans is a wicked tyrant who seeks to conquer and annihilate all across the world. Attacking the Vorg people, Zorth has civilians slaughtered before moving to wipe out the entire country of Cato. His forces repulsed, a furious Zorth orders one-tenth of the survivors executed before renewing his attacks to kill until the rest submit. Upon the founding of the Trigan empire, Zorth learns a moon will crash into Loka. Executing the astronomers for the bad news, Zorth sends "refugees" to Emperor Trigo, only to launch an attack from within to slaughter numerous Trigan soldiers and civilians. One of the Trigan Empire's most depraved foes, Zorth routinely has innocents and even his own massacred to satisfy his cruelty and need for dominance.
  • Klud is one of Trigo's two brothers and utterly nothing like either of them. A conniving snake envious of Trigo, Klud demonstrates his initial nastiness by refusing to give succour to hundreds of people left homeless by Zorth with full knowledge they will die otherwise, attempting to personally execute the one man who stands up. When Trigo stops this, Klud promptly tries to murder Trigo with a poisoned knife in revenge. Even after Trigo spares Klud's life for his treachery, Klud still sells out his own people to Zorth and personally leads a fleet to rain down hellfire upon his own people until they submit as broken slaves of the Lokan Empire, and dies shortly after having ordered his other brother Brag burned alive in response to Brag's trickery. Klud has an equally evil daughter named Thara, who puntastically seizes power in the episode "The Reign of Thara."
