Ganon

Better known as the self-styled King Ganondorf Dragmire XIII (not to be confused with his ancient ancestor, Ganondorf I). He was a renegade Gerudo warlord and powerful sorcerer who coveted the Hyrulean throne for decades, successfully stealing the Triforce of Power. Ganon abducted the Crown Princess Shana, demanding the Triforce of Wisdom in exchange for her safe return to King Paul Marc. When the King refused to hand over the artifact, Ganon manipulated the young princess with a mixture of psychological and magical brainwashing. He also trained her in dark sorcery and Gerudo martial arts, and when she was six years old, he sent her to assassinate Queen Xelena. His training successful, Ganon set out molding the girl into the perfect assassin, and in the process, grew perversely attached to her; she became his bride and bore him a daughter at age 16.

Shortly thereafter, he kidnapped Shana's twin, Princess Zelda, attempting the same Triforce-for-Princess scheme he'd failed with years before, fully intending on sending Shana back in Zelda's place. Unfortunately for Ganon, a young Hylian adventurer named Link threw a wrench in those plans, rescuing Zelda and destroying half his Death Mountain lair in the process.

Ganon joined the Dark Wrath early on in the Great War, allying himself with the Dark Dragon Clan of Scande, and even led their forces. He suffered an enormous setback when Shana was captured by GA forces and defected. Filled with righteous fury at the loss of "his" Shana, he swore bloody vengeance on Celiose and the Grand Army, stepping up the Dark Dragons' attacks.

Ganon was slain by Celiose Cole in the Obelisk after the Battle of Scande, following an attempt at reclaiming his lost bride.
