Starlord Zendo

The Starlord Zendo is your guide throughout the game. He is a Starlord from the Interzone tasked with finding a mortal to save the void from being destroyed by Sarpedon. He has been appointed this task by the Starlord Council. Despite being referred to as the "Dragonlord," he quite clearly resembles an iguana.

Little is known about Zendo. He is the Starlord of Virtue who must be of high standing within the Starlord Council given the task appointed. He is able to intervene with all Warrior does, and can give him extra lives.

The Task
Zendo was appointed the task of finding a mortal to save the void. It is often suggested throughout the game that hundreds of people have been recruited for the task and have all failed, giving several character the speculation that it's nothing more than a cheap thrill for Zendo (which can be interpreted differently, including nothing more than breaking the 4th wall).

It is not known if all Zendo's chosen warriors have been from Earth. On Argos, the keeper of the Diamond Star reveals that he originally took the star from Zendo, implying that the Dragonlord had manifested himself on Argos at least once. The reason for this is unknown.

Relationships with other Characters
Throughout the game, Warrior finds many characters who know/know of Zendo. Some have had positive interactions, while others see him in a different light.

The Queen of the Creegs, Lysistrata, had dreams of Zendo telling her to leave her planet before the sun was sucked dry by wasps.

Leta, one of the last Fornaxi, also had dreams of Zendo, where she was given direction to find the last safe haven on Fornax, and how to find someone who will bring her the sacred seed of life to revive her planet.

Cadmus, a fighter in the gymnasium on Argos, holds the Diamond Star of Prowess. He claims he took it from Zendo ("a dragon man" from "off in the void"). Cadmus remarks how unusual it was that Zendo did not need to heal afterwards (implying his immortality).

Lonnie, one of Warrior's dopplegangers, tells a story of how he was picked up by Zendo while hitchhiking his way back to California from Iowa. He describes Zendo as "an angel, only ugly" and thinks the quest is stupid and nonsensical.

Warrior's other doppleganger, found on Ravanna and does not give a name, discusses Zendo at great length; he believes Zendo is a con-artist who is just playing games with Warrior and goes so far as to say, "He and Sarpedon are probably laughing it up right now." It is unknown whether or not this is true, or simply a mind game played by Sarpedon (likely the latter, given the circumstance).

Once awakened, Seb discusses his plans for his planet, Luxor, and briefly mentions Zendo, saying he must obey the Dragonlord.
