History:
Zulu was born in the time the Empire was on its conquest of the surrounding territory. He was born in the Original country of the WARR Empire known as Rajina. He was born into an already high class of religious zealots that believed that eventually, the new 'True' Overlord of WARR would come, with the skills and equaling hatred as the past Vulpuz, and lead the WARR empire into a new age that would be built in the ruins of the old, weaker age. Zulu was raised with the belief that the WARR empire, and all those who submitted to it were the ones who would be by the side of the new 'Vulpuz'. Zulu became fascinated with the ancient text that spoke of Vulpuz as the greatest warrior that had ever lived in the Ancients time.
At the age of 16, Zulu became the apprentice of the religious center of Omina. There he was trained in the Ancient's language, taught history, and writing, as well as public speaking. Zulu quickly became the top of his class, easily winning at discussions and any topic dealing with ancient history. He was then taken under the wing of his mentor, Yamor, a magus who was in charge of the Northern lands. Yamor taught Zulu much about politics in how you use your enemy to destroy another then, when that enemy was weak to crush his spirit. Yamor showed Zulu the ways to teach the other 'uncivilized' cultures in the ways of Vulpuz. Quickly Zulu picked up on the ways to gain control and began to experiment with the thing he learned on small communities, then separate countries. The former Overlord saw promise in Zulu and granted him Magus status after his mentor died.
Zulu met Rosethorn during his status as a Magus and developed a friendship with Rosethorn, teaching him some of the history and ideas of Vulpuz. Rosethorn and Zulu worked together to figure out plans for conquest. Rosethorn, a naturally-born military leader, and Zulu a naturally-born political leader managed to create a successful strategy in the conquest of other nations that they became war-heroes in the eyes of the public, and became extremely influential in the WARR Empire.
When Rosethorn was made into Overlord, he ordered the death of the Archmagus at the time, do to the revolution that the Archmagus was planning. Rosethorn named the successor to be his old friend Zulu. During the wars Zulu started to become more ambitious and wishing to take the throne from his friend in order to become the only seat of power, so that he could lead the WARR Empire to follow Vulpuz.
When Zulu heard that Rosethorn was dead, he temporally took control of the empire only to discover that two heirs to the Imperial throne still remained. He ordered Nova to find Hector, who took control of the Blood Horde after his fathers 'demise' and committed war on Salamanstrom, and kill the Warlord. However, Zulu wanted Darkhawk, Rosethorn's eldest (in order of birth...Darkhawk and Hector are twins) son to be captured and not killed, do to the knowledge that Darkhawk was the child destined to somehow (No Spoiling...) become the 'true' Overlord of the WARR empire and conquer the remaining parts of the world.
However, soon after Nova's demise, Rosethorn returned to the High City, demanding the Archmagus release of the Overlord status. Do to Zulu not being able to fight Rosethorn, he cleverly told Rosethorn that the Magus had been trying to gain control over his empire, and had attempted to take the power away from the 'real' Overlords of the Empire, and that he had been trying to prevent it. Rosethorn believed Zulu and replaced the Magus with one that were loyal to Zulu, unknowingly.
Currently Zulu is assists Rosethorn as his second-in-command and cultural adviser, along with the 5 other Magus.
