'''Gandohar'''
'''Gandohar''' (formerly Emperor Gandohar) was a powerful dark wizard who seized control of the {{Lore|Kingdom of Cathalon}} and nearly drove the {{Lore|Orcs}} to extinction at the {{Lore|Battle of Oswaroh}}


==Two Worlds==
==History==
Gandohar, a powerful dark wizard, is first met at the beginning of the game and seeks to gain favour with the [[Hero]] . He appears to be acting on behalf of a mysterious, underground society who have kidnapped [[Kira]], the sister of the Hero. Gandohar managed to keep up this charade for some time until it was revealed that he, himself, was actually the ringleader of the underground society and was actually responsible for the kidnapping of Kira.

After many months<ref group="n" name=":0"></ref>, a letter is sent to the Hero who meets up with Gandohar outside of the small village of {{TwoWorlds|Komorin}}. He appears to be acting on behalf of a mysterious, underground society who've kidnapped Kira. Gandohar sends the Hero on a quest to gather all of the fragments of a {{Lore|Relic}}, which he intends to use to free the God of Fire, {{Lore|Aziraal}}. He gains the Hero's trust by gaining Kira's trust, who then vouches for him while simultaneously playing the part of a friend with the Hero. Gandohar managed to keep up this charade for some time until it was revealed that he, was the ringleader of the underground society and was responsible for the kidnapping of Kira.


[[Reist Tungard]], who is actually a horrific, demonic entity, as his henchmen and serves as guard to the Star of Oswaroth. He was originally thought to be the leader of the underground society, until Gandohar later betrayed the [[Hero]] and revealed his intentions to him.
{{Lore|Reist Tungard}}, who played the part of the ringleader of Gandohar's dark brotherhood shows himself to be a horrific, demonic entity. When the Relic is destroyed and the {{Lore|Grand Pentagram}} is created, Reist and Gandohar head to {{Lore|Oswaroh}} where Reist serves as a guard to the Star of Oswaroh. Despite kidnapping Kira, playing the part of a friend before betraying the Hero, he still agrees to side with Gandohar, who later betrays him yet again.


==Two Worlds II==
===Becoming Emperor===
Gandohar is the main antagonist, for most of [[Two Worlds II]]. He has placed himself as the Emperor of [[Antaloor]] by the time of [[Two Worlds II]]. He has taken on a more evil looking appearance and rules with an iron fist. During his reign he has commited several nefarious deeds such as offically disbanding the Mages Guild and wiping out nearly the entire [[Orc]]ish race. He has been using [[Kyra]] as his power source. By doing so, he must use the [[Hero]] to keep her alive by transferring magic between the two. The hunt for Gandohars past and weakness serves as the majority of the plot. 
Emperor Gandohar instills himself in Oswaroh after imprisoning Aziraal in Kira's body. It's unclear exactly what became, of the {{Lore|Kingdom of Cathalon}}. The Orcs, unhappy with their betrayal and imprisonment of their God begin their {{Lore|Battle of Oswaroh|assault at Oswaroh}}. An elite strike force led by legendary general {{Lore|Rogdor}} enter the castle and attempt to kill Emperor Gandohar, but are subverted.<ref name="TWIICDCH1"></ref> Emperor Gandohar's top general, {{Lore|Sordahon}} is sent to decimate the lead Orc camp and cut off all reinforcements. He's ordered to not leave a single Orc standing. Sordahon is successful and all of the Orcs are killed.<ref name="TWIICDCH2"></ref> The Orc race is brought to the brink of extinction. To sustain Aziraal in Kira's body, Emperor Gandohar needs to sustain her body by transferring the life force of another into her. To do so requires the use of ancient artifacts known as {{Lore|Maliel's Thrones}}. He begins to search the {{Lore|Drak'ar Desert}} and finds the first in the catacombs of a temple.<ref name="TWIICDCH3"></ref><ref name="TWIICDCH4"></ref> One of Emperor Gandohar's search parties discovers the second throne on {{Lore|Elkronas Island}} in a burial ground. From there, Gandohar heads to overthrow {{Lore|Castle Vahkmaar}}.<ref name="TWIICDCH5"></ref>


At the end of the game the Hero assaults Imperial Palace. When he leaves the dungeons he encounters a group of soldiers. They inform him that the Emperor is waiting and after a brief chat they take him. Gandohar is no more hostile to the Hero. When freed from Azziral's influence he helped Kyra and summoned Dar Pha to his castle in order to imprison Azziral once again. Then something interrupts the meeting and it turns out that it is Prophet Cassara. She servers Azziral and is, in fact, a dragon. Gandohar opens a teleport and orders the hero, his sister and Dar Pha to run while he will deal with the dragon. Unfortunately for the Emperor he was weak because he had to use his own life force to strenghten Kyra. He decided to stay in order to atone for his crimes and sacrifice himself in order to buy some time for the Hero and the rest to imprison Azziral in his sarcophagus once again. Cassara droped his crown before the fight. Dar Pha suggested that Antaloor cannot be allowed to descent into chaos and that Emperor must live. The Hero never wanted the crown so Kyra accepted it and now poses as Gandohar. 
===Emperor Gandohar===
Emperor Gandohar rules with an iron fist. During his reign, he commits several nefarious deeds such as officially disbanding the {{Lore|Mages Guild}} and wiping out nearly the entire Orcish race. He has been using Kira as his power source while draining the Hero of his life force to sustain her.
 
===Downfall===
The Hero assaults the Imperial Palace. When leaving the dungeons he encounters a group of soldiers who inform him that the Emperor is waiting and after a brief chat they take him. Gandohar is no longer hostile and is in a weakened state. When freed from Azziral's influence he helped Kira and summoned {{Lore|Dar Pha}} to his castle in order to imprison Azziral once again. The Prophet Cassara shows up and proclaims that she servers Azziral and is in fact, a {{Lore|dragon}}. Gandohar opens a {{Lore|teleport}} and orders the hero, his sister and Dar Pha to run while he will deal with the dragon. Unfortunately for the Emperor, in his weakened state, he was overpowered by and presumably killed by Cassara. It's never shown, so it's inconclusive, but Cassara drops his crown at the feet of the heroes in order to instill a sense of hopelessness. Dar Pha says that Antaloor cannot be allowed to descend into chaos and that an Emperor must be on the throne, so Kira accepts it and now poses as Emperor.

After many months[n 1], a letter is sent to the Hero who meets up with Gandohar outside of the small village of Komorin.

He gains the Hero's trust by gaining Kira's trust, who then vouches for him while simultaneously playing the part of a friend with the Hero. Gandohar managed to keep up this charade for some time until it was revealed that he, was the ringleader of the underground society and was responsible for the kidnapping of Kira.

When the Relic is destroyed and the Grand Pentagram is created, Reist and Gandohar head to Oswaroh where Reist serves as a guard to the Star of Oswaroh. Despite kidnapping Kira, playing the part of a friend before betraying the Hero, he still agrees to side with Gandohar, who later betrays him yet again.

Becoming Emperor

Emperor Gandohar instills himself in Oswaroh after imprisoning Aziraal in Kira's body. It's unclear exactly what became, of the Kingdom of Cathalon. The Orcs, unhappy with their betrayal and imprisonment of their God begin their assault at Oswaroh. An elite strike force led by legendary general Rogdor enter the castle and attempt to kill Emperor Gandohar, but are subverted.[3] Emperor Gandohar's top general, Sordahon is sent to decimate the lead Orc camp and cut off all reinforcements. He's ordered to not leave a single Orc standing. Sordahon is successful and all of the Orcs are killed.[4] The Orc race is brought to the brink of extinction. To sustain Aziraal in Kira's body, Emperor Gandohar needs to sustain her body by transferring the life force of another into her. To do so requires the use of ancient artifacts known as Maliel's Thrones. He begins to search the Drak'ar Desert and finds the first in the catacombs of a temple.[5][6] One of Emperor Gandohar's search parties discovers the second throne on Elkronas Island in a burial ground. From there, Gandohar heads to overthrow Castle Vahkmaar.[7]
