Zeon

Art by Martin Griffiths and Gina Hart

Zeon is a demon from the kingdom of Rune. Many years ago, his power struck fear into the heart of his opponents. He was eventually defeated by the original Shining Force and trapped in an abyss.

History[]

Zeon's early life is largely unknown. During this time, the demon made several enemies, one of them being the Shining Force. Led by Maximillian, the group were able to defeat the foe and seal him in the abyss. The portal that could potentially allow him to escape was locked away in the Ancient Tower on Granseal Island, with no access to it.

Many years later, the Zeonites, Zeon's followers, began to plan for Zeon's escape. An archaeological dig underneath the town of Ribble unearthed a vasy armoury of guns and tanks, considered to be ancient weaponry to these civilised people. One weapon of interest was a nuclear bomb, believed to be powerful enough to destroy the gateway to the abyss, freeing Zeon. As this device was transported to Granseal in preparation for detonation, an image of Zeon was magically summoned by the Zeonites, allowing the demon to personally talk to Baron Kadavaar, his most devout follower. From here, Zeon was able to reveal who else knew of his plans for revival - the new Shining Force.

Zynk, a robot belonging to Kadavaar, managed to escape his owner and warned Maximillian of Zeon's imminent return. The old man was killed by Kadavaar for imprisoning Zeon, but the others (Zynk, Bowie and Taya) were able to escape. Joined by Chester, the team set out to defeat the Zeonites and stop Zeon from returning. Their quest took them to the Ancient Tower, where they were able to beat the Zeonites, but could not stop the detonation. Prompted by Zynk, Bowie used Max's sword to open the portal and pushed the nuclear bomb into Zeon's abyss, possibly killing the demon.
