Biography

Zo'or was the last Taelon to be born and was the child of Da'an, he would be the last member of the species before it became fully barren and sterile. (Episode: The Cloister) During Zo'or time in Taelon politics, he developed a bitter enemy in the future War Minister, T'thaan who contested Zo'or's election to the legation. (Episode: Keep Your Enemies Closer) Before their arrival on the planet Earth, the Taelons witnessed the native human species in a state of conflict known as the SI War. It was Zo'or who proposed the deployment of the Quantum Vortex weapon on the planet in order to secretly end the conflict but also leave humanity in a constant state of warfare so that they could be more easily manipulated. Whilst seen as a brutal act, many within the Synod agreed with Zo'or's suggestion and the weapon was deployed before the Taelons officially introduced themselves to mankind. (Episode: Scorched Earth)

When Jonathan Doors made a public broadcast that urged Humanity to fight the Taelons after his supposed death, the Synod became greatly displeased with Da'an. After the initial failure of finding his whereabouts, the Synod ultimately decided to suspended Da'an and replace him temporarily with Zo'or who became the North American Companion. (Episode: Resurrection)

Background

Personality and attributes

Zo'or was confident in the supremacy of his race and believed that they could only admire those who were equals to them. As he felt that Humanity was too primitive and unevolved, he felt that they were not worthy adversaries. (Episode: Resurrection) In fact, he felt that the Taelons could do whatever they choose in regards to humanity and that they would accomplish these feats in the future. (Episode: Emancipation) In fact, he believed mankind to be a pityful subspecies that would never be an equal to the Taelons. (Episode: Interview) Zo'or's attitude on the subjugation of humanity was an intricate plan that involved domination of both the mind and the mind. He felt that whilst they were capable of coercing mankind, the process was too slow and graceless. And whilst bioengineering was a possibility, this was only partly the solution. As such, he intended to understand their minds and dominate the species completely and making them serve the Companions. (Episode: Deja Vu)

His cunning meant that he often manipulated events to his benefit and turned potential disasters into powerful tools to boost his popularity. (Episode: Interview) He also felt that the pursuit of knowledge was worth any risk. (Episode: Through Your Eyes)

He was highly deceptive and known to had made active use of surveillance on his fellow Taelon's, especially on those that disagreed with his goals. (Episode: Deja Vu) Zo'or was not above polluting Taelon traditions such as the Pad'Ar in order to accomplish his missions. (Episode: Pad'Ar) Furthermore, Zo'or engaged heavily in the use of secret assassinations of his fellow Taelons in order to quell any challenge to his political power. (Episode: Subterfuge)

Ultimately, according to Zo'or, he was desperately attempting to ensure the survival of his species. (Episode: The Cloister) Despite this being the case, he held contempt for certain aspects of his peoples culture such as the Commonality. In Zo'ors opinion, the unifying link of the Commonality was the greatest weakness amongst the Taelons and thus needed to be destroyed in order to promote individuality as seen in mankind and the Jaridians. (Episode: Subterfuge) In addition, he was not above using sacred Taelon rituals to accomplish his goals and was quite capable of distorting them in pursuit of his mission. Zo'ir personally did not practice the ancient rites of his species as he felt that they were anachronisms and that anyone that followed these old ways would be forgotten by history. (Episode: Pad'Ar)

Powers and abilities

He possessed a great amount of power within the political arena of the Taelons though according to Lili Marquette, this was more attributed to fear then being a good speaker. (Episode: Message in a Bottle)

Being a Companion, Zo'or also had the ability to radiate a powerful burst of energy from his body and sent organic beings close to him flying backwards. (Episode: Crackdown) Alternatively, he was able to absorb explosions of energy in order to save other sentient beings that were threatened by such an event. (Episode: Interview)
