Colonel Zol

Colonel Bakarashin Iinodevitch Zol is a high-ranking member of Shocker and a major antagonist in the original 1971 Kamen Rider series.

He was portrayed by Jirō Miyaguchi.

Origin
Colonel Zol was originally born in Leipzig, Germany. He later became a Nazi and was assigned to the Auschwitz concentration camp. While working there, Zol served as the superior of General Monster, a future Neo-Shocker member. He also lost an eye due to a gas leak and covered its scar with an eye patch.

After World War II ended, Zol was invited to join Shocker by its Great Leader. Zol accepted and chose to keep his old Nazi uniform as a show of pride in his past despite being a war criminal. After joining Shocker, Zol went under a process to receive cybernetic implants, increasing his strength and effectively making him immortal.

Zol was placed in charge of Shocker's Middle East branch, bringing a wave of destruction there to build Shocker's utopia. He also developed his own personal regiment within Shocker's forces signified by his personal symbol, the Shocker emblem but with the eagle's head replaced by the head of a wolf.

Kamen Rider
Colonel Zol was later called to lead Shocker's Japanese branch to improve its success following resistance from the Kamen Riders. After the failures of his kaijin to defeat Kamen Rider #2, Zol assumes his Wolf Man kaijin form to confront the rider himself. After a lengthy battle, Wolf Man was toppled off a cliff and destroyed by Kamen Rider #2.

Kamen Rider V3
Zol later returned after he was resurrected alongside fellow Shocker executives Dr. Shinigami, Ambassador Hell and General Black by Doktor G to initiate Operation: Japan Annihilation using a new poison gas called Girard Gamma. When Ambassador Hell was captured by V3 Zol attempted to kill both of them but was stopped by the Great Leader of Destron, who stated that they cannot afford to lose Ambassador Hell, allowing V3 to go as he pleased. He was later killed along with the other Shocker commanders when Destron's base self-destructed.

Kamen Rider Decade
Colonel Zol's identity was later taken by Narutaki, who teamed up with Super Doctor Shinigami to form Super Shocker from the remnants of Dai-Shocker. His guise was later lifted after he was knocked away by Doras, prompting Narutaki to flee.
