Role in Games[]
Zofor is a sorcerer who belongs to a secret group called the Sistina Missionaries. They want to wake up a god named Ulugh, who will destroy humanity. To do this, they need to sacrifice human souls to give Ulugh dark energy. Zofor can see the future and saw that people will do terrible things. He hates people and wants to get rid of them.
Zofor helped a general named Balor become king and then made him start a war. Zofor was one of Balor's top helpers. When Balor became king, Zofor became the Chancellor of Dyneskal. Zofor knew that Balor would become evil, so he used his power to bring back Ulugh's Knights of Darkness. He also helped create a person named Beelzeva who would help them.
Twenty-six years before Zill O'll, Zofor cited a prophecy that "the child of Balor's daughter" would slay Balor. TRINITY rewords this prophecy to "Balor's descendants" instead. In either case Zofor oversaw the deaths of Balor's children, Esalen and the rebellious Lugh. He then proceeded to scheme with Dyneskal's Ministry regarding further summonings of demonic entities. Zofor and the Ministry combined their sorcery to make Balor an immortal by this time in the original lore, as they plotted to use the bloodshed and dark energies generated from the deaths of Dyneskal's constant warfare to someday turn the emperor into a demon like Ulugh. This is changed to another date in the prequel.
Although Nemea and company became a concern to those within the empire, Zofor thought little of the threat it posed to Balor's security, as he was secretly plotting to use either Nemea or Zagiv to replace Balor. When Nemea and company dispelled the Ministry's seal on Balor's immortality, Zofor thought there was no point protecting a failure. The original lore states that Zofor fled Ancient by the time Nemea's company had infiltrated the castle.
TRINITY instead remarks that Balor was made immortal only shortly before the castle's infiltration and Zofor was behind his schedule. He stayed within Ancient to hasten Balor's transformation into a demon and summoned Argyleshire to stall for time. The chancellor faced Areus and company within the castle and was defeated by them. He somehow survived their beating and discretely fled from the public eye.
Zofor wanted to be near the dark energies he had collected in Ancient, so he lived in the city's slums. He used magic to hide his identity, but sometimes people found him and threatened him. One day, he met the protagonist and sensed their strong soul. Zofor asked the protagonist to protect him and later invited them to visit his home. Zofor used the dark energies to create an army of monsters and sacrificed innocent people to awaken Ulugh. The protagonist had to fight Zofor to continue the story. If they didn't keep Zagiv in their party, she would become the dark emperor of Dyneskal. If they didn't keep Beelzeva, he would die. Triggering his personal events in infinite changes the nature of Zofor's encounter and leads to Beelzeva's recruitment.
Regardless of the scenario, Zofor perishes when he is defeated by the protagonist's party. The protagonist had hoped that the effects of Soul Reap would be dispelled with his death, but Ancient remains a ghost town for the rest of the game. Ultimately, Zofor succeeded in his final goal.
Character Information[]
Personality[]
Decrepit and sinister, Zofor coldly considers humanity to be a blight upon the world. He thinks humans are bad for the world. He thinks Balor and others are just toys for him to use. He likes planning to destroy the world and loves Ulugh. He is proud of how smart he is and how often he predicts things correctly. But he is sad that he can't change the future if it's not what he wants. It's implied that he foresaw his own death during Zill O'll and cast Soul Reap as his final service to Ulugh.
