Goldar is a powerful warrior who was first known as
Rita's second in command. He was a loyal follower of the impress and
perhaps
the most feared in her army. He carries a sword and is capable of
firing
energy blasts from his hands or eyes. The creature has a particularly
strong
hatred for both Jason and Tommy, whom he often taunts about having once
worked by his side.
In 1993, Goldar could often be alongside Scorpina.
They two were partners in battle and clearly meant a great deal to each
other. Some might say there was a spark of romance between them, though
it was never spoken. They were willing to give up all else to save each
other, as was demonstrated on various occasions.
When Zedd took over command of the alien palace,
Goldar's loyalties immediatly shifted. Rita was no longer his concern
and
he pledged himself solely to the emperor. For this, he was given back
his
wings, which were once taken away. However, Zedd's rule was less than
kind
to the warrior. His intelligence seemed to go drifting off into space
along
with Rita. From that moment on, Goldar was treated like the dirt on the
bottom of his master's shoe.
Things only got worse for him when Rita returned.
Not
only did he have to co-exist with the woman he betrayed, but due to the
absence of Scorpina, he was paired with Rita's brother, Rito. This
creature
got under Goldar's skin worse than any other in the galaxy, it
seemed.
Goldar's life continued in its downward spiral after
he and Rito were ordered to destroy the Command Center. They were
successful,
but unable to get out before it blew. This caused them to lose their
memories.
The once mighty warrior had been reduced to doing maid duty for Bulk
and
Skull! Eventually, he was welcomed back into his former army and aided
his masters' fight again the Machine Empire.
He, liked most others of that time, was called into
the service of Dark Specter to assist him in destroying Zordon. This
didn't
end well for him either. After Zordon's suicide, his wave of power
destroyed
Goldar, leaving behind nothing but a pile of dust where he stood.
Interesting Facts:
-
The blade guard of Goldar's sword has a heart on it, which is a
complete
contrast to his character's personality.
-
He and Scorpina were married and had a child in Sentai Zyuranger.
-
When Rita makes her creatures grow, Goldar is the only one who is
always
referred to by name, instead of just 'monster'.
