Cador's story changes a little between the original game and Grand Edition. Originally, he appeared to be another Rune Knight of Almekia and trusted ally to Zemeckis. Following the establishment of the Esgares Empire, the Death Knight takes his place as the right hand to Emperor Zemeckis. But Grand Edition expands upon this by having the final boss Bulnoil be the one who not only created him but sent him to inspire Zemeckis to action. He is resurrected from the corpse of a knight named Leland, who was also the love interest of Halley, who joins New Almekia in their quest to take down the Empire. Cador abandons the Esgares Empire when they drop to less than three castles, which definitely helps in beating them, but I always wished there was a way to recruit him. As a servant of Bulnoil, in Grand Edition he'll abandon the Empire if they gain more than 26 castles.

Head was from Beta Ray Bill with the top part of the head, the hood, and the horns sculpted on. Feet were from Wonder Man, lightly resculpted. Sculpted the full boot armor and pants, knees, skirt sections, belt, entire torso armor, sleeves, gloves, shoulder pads, collar, and the entire cape. Axe was a dowel rod with an axe blade glued on, and everything else sculpted around it. Full repaint, and all done!
