"Usurper King" Zant

Zant was born from darkness and presents himself with a mask of calmness and control, always maintaining an upright posture and speaking in a coldly sinister voice. Zant also shows himself to be a cunning and brilliant tactician, having nearly conquered all of Hyrule save for Ordon Province, which was only thwarted because Link was there when one of his Shadow Beasts attempted to steal Ordona's light. Zant also possesses an extreme amount of arrogance and entitlement. Whereas most Twili were content with life in the Twilight Realm, Zant held a megalomaniac belief that they had the right to rule the World of Light. He constantly refers to himself as the King of Twilight and shows full confidence in his ablilites. He also was shown to have an immense hatred of light dwellers due to blaming them for the Twili being sealed away during the Interloper wars, although, ironically enough, his even coming close to conquering Hyrule was the result of aid from a light dweller, Ganondorf. Largely because of her being chosen to helm the throne over himself, Zant also held intense hatred of Midna, although he nonetheless attempted to recruit her to his side at the Lanaryu providence as part of his and Ganondorf's agenda to mix darkness with light. Zant has also shown himself to be incredibly ruthless in achieving his goals, committing countless atrocities with no sense of compassion or morality. He turned his own people into Shadow Beasts against their will, ordered the execution of Rutela in front of the Zoras for resisting his rule, forced Zelda to surrender under the threat of harming her people and nearly murdered Midna by exposing her to Lanayru's light when she refused to side with him, all without remorse. Upon his final confrontation with Link and Midna, it is revealed that Zant's earlier persona was a facade and that, in reality, he is a raving lunatic. Zant is shown to be quite unhinged, often going on bizarre tangents, hopping up and down and throwing a tantrum in a manner similar to that of a child; this is briefly seen before he met Ganondorf, in which he is shown collapsing on the ground and banging his head and fists onto it. He implies in his rant that part of the reason for his madness is because he was the only Twili to have any emotion at all and that such was suppressed by decree of the Twili royal family. Zant also shows a near fanatical devotion to Ganondorf, blindly following the Demon King's every command and believing that he would revive him without cease.
