Real Name: Hec-Tor Kur
Hordak is a powerful sorcerer whom is synonymous with science based weapons. He can morph his body into various mecanical machines, or shape shift various limbs as needed into machanical weapons. Hordak's main enemies are: Skeletor, She-Ra, He-Man, and King Hiss. He leads the Horde army from his two desolate Fright Zones, the darkest, dankest part of Etheria and Eternia. Each of his minions fears Hordak in some way and all of them bow to his every word. Though some have attempted to double-cross him, they have not succeeded. Hordak is recognizable by his grotesque white face, with sharp red eyes, his flat snout-like nose, red vampire-like fangs and pointed bat-like ears. He wears a collar of bones and black armor over his chest, emblazoned with the Horde bat symbol. His appearance resembles a vampire or bat-like creature. Whenever he talks, he pauses his talking by snorting between his statements. Hordak was once a strong wizard, who abandoned magic for science.
History:
Second born heir to the Horde Empire, Hec-Tor Kur, was sent by his brother, Horde Prime, to the planet Eternia, to mascerade as a member of the original Council Of Elders. While Eternia was vulnerable from the war with the Snake Men, Hec-Tor Kur revealed his true intentions by allowing a huge army of Hordesmen to be deployed. The Preternians were unprepared for another invasion force. The three-way war became known as the "First Ultimate Battleground". While battling the cosmic warrior He-Ro and the mighty King Grayskull, Hec-Tor Kur was injured severly. Horde Prime repared him with science and wizardry, completely changing his appearence.
Taking the name Hordak, he raised an army and challenged the Snake Men for rule over the planet. And although he defeated King Hssss, Grayskull, leader of the free people of Eternia succeeded in defeating Hordak's army. As his last desperate attempt to gain the upperhand, Hordak casted the "Spell Of Seperation", which would cause the planet to be split into two, to capture the Starseed. The spell was sent array, when King Grayskull severed Hordak's arm, resulting in the planet to be split in two; the Dark Hemisphere and Light Hemisphere. King Grayskull and Hordak have a final showdown, where Hordak and his Evil Horde are banished to the dimension of Despondos, but also resulted in the death of King Grayskull.
It was there that centuries later Hordak contacted a young alchemist named Keldor and began teaching him the ways of the dark arts in exchange for freedom from his extra-dimensional prison. It was at this time Keldor released Hordak and the Evil Horde, from Dispondos. The resulting war became known as the "Great Unrest". Towards the end of the war, Keldor and Hordak planned to kidnap the children of the heir of the Eternian throne. The plan went arrey when, Duncan intervened and prevented them from taking both babies. However, Hordak was successful in kidnapping Princess Adora. Hordak and the Evil Horde were tricked by Keldor into using a dimensional gate to Etheria. Once on the other side, Keldor cast a spell that prevented the Horde from returning.
Noah was a member of theprestige leader of the Council Of Kings, who were in charge ofWizardry Affairs. Among the members of this group was: Sha-Man ofMystacor, Queen Azriella Of Mystacor, Catillus the Keeper Of The MoonMirror, Queen Celestia Of Bright Moon and many of the wizards and kings ofEtheria. When Hordak came to Etheria, he made the Etherians believethat he was their friend. When the Council Of Kings saw howmagically inclined Hordak was, Noah welcomed him in the council. Noah became Hordak's mentor.
Eventually, Hordak betrayed the Council Of Kings. Their fighting was a means for Hordak toreveal his hidden army that he directed to hunt down and kill theroyalty of Etheria. n the Northern Plains of Etheria, where thebeautiful Kingdom Of stood. It was the first kingdom to be invaded, destroyed andleft in ruins. Hordak conquered it and renamed it theFright Zone, and programmed his robotic Troopers to construct amighty fortress for him in the center of the barren land. There theyconstructed the immense industrial complex named Doom Tower- a baseof supreme technology, from which Hordak began to conduct hisinvasions of Etheria. Hordak ordered a purge on what was left of the Council Of Kings and any leading Etherian people. Eventually, Noah went head-to-head with Hordak. Realizingthat he could not defeat Hordak, Noah slipped away to hide out onWoeful Mountain, in the Whispering Forest, to fight another day. At this time, Hordak had conquered most of Etheria, forcing the people of Etheria to form the Great Rebellion. Adora was raised by Shadow Weaver and Shakra, breading her to become Hordak's greatest warrior. His plan was foiled when Adora descovered her destiny and became She-Ra. Adora became the leader of the Great Rebellion.
After years of battling the Great Rebellion for a couple of years, Hordak finds away to return to Eternia, where He-Man and the Masters were battling King Hsss and Skeletor. The fourway war became known as the Second Ultimate Battleground. At the end of the war, Skeletor and Hordak have a final showdown, where Skeletor kills his former master.
