General Morando

"I have returned from exile to take what's rightfully mine."

- Morando arriving to take over Akiridion-5.

General Morando is one of the two main antagonists so far of the DreamWorks computer-animated TV series trilogy, Tales of Arcadia (alongside Gunmar), appearing as the main antagonist of the second installment, 3 Below.

He is a former general of the planet Akiridion-5 who was exiled for his treachery, and in turn, returned and took over the planet through a coop. He is also the one in charge of the bounty hunters who are raiding through the galaxy in order to hunt the royals, Aja and Krel Tarron, as well as the mastermind behind the death of the family of Varvatos Vex.

He is voiced by Alon Aboutboul, who also played Aamir Barkawi in London has Fallen.

Personality
Cruel and abusive, Morando is by far a power-hungry dictator who wants nothing more than to destroy and dominate everything and everyone in his path, especially the royal Tarron family.

He doesn't really seem to care much about his henchmen, as he didn't even seem to be concerned that the bounty hunters he sent perished (minus Alpha), and decided to go after the Tarron's himself.

Morando is also very manipulative and persuasive, as he is the one who tricked Vex into helping him infiltrate the ceremony and take over Akiridion-5, since he ordered the Zeron Brotherhood to kill Vex's family.

By the time of Part Two, Morando became far worse than ever, as he sought to rule the galaxy by destroying all reality, then reshaping the universe in his image.

Background
General Morando was once a general of King Fialkov and Queen Coranda's armies but was exiled from the planet Akiridion-5 for trying to seize power by force. Eventually, he concocted a plan to set him free. So, he hired the Zeron Brotherhood to kill Varvatos Vex's family so Vex can be vengeful and listen to Morando. Then the day before Morando's coup, he asked Vex to lower the shields.

Part 1
On the day of Aja and Krel's coronation, Morando orders his forces to begin attacking Akiridion-5 after the shields were lowered by Varvatos. He later confronts the Tarron family in their palace, where he forces his men to shoot at the king and queen, causing them to lose their physical bodies. After immediately seeing his mistake, Varvatos takes the royal cores and retreats into the Mothership with the heirs while Zadra stays behind and buys them time to escape.

Later, Morando orders his V-Strikers to pursue the Mothership, but it was too late when they escape Akiridion-5 through hyperspace. A soldier reports to the exiled general that they were unable to track the House Tarron Mothership, due to their own ships not being properly equipped for space-travel. Out of disappointment, he kills the soldier and assembles several bounty hunters to find the royal children and bring their parents' life cores to Morando and will reward them.

Morando then enters the room Zadra was imprisoned. Morando convinces her to be his lieutenant, Zadra refused and Morando left. Sooner, Zadra and Izita, who was in the room escape and Zadra becomes a member of the Resistance as a spy in Morando's forces.

Then, Morando takes contol of Akiridion-5 while many people protested that he is never the rightful king.

Morando then askes Loth Saborian on the status of the Omen project. Loth says that it is difficult but Morando threatened him that he will kill him.

Since Omen was made, miorando makes sure no one worships the royals and orders the royals to stop them. The blanks and soldiers give them a final warning. Then Morando realizes that Zadra was a traitor and orders Omen to go after them. Zadra will then flee to Earth, to Aja and Krel.

After being defeated by Aja and Krel, the Zeron Alpha sends morando the location of the royals, planet Earth. An Omen was then sent by Morando to eliminate the royals.

Morando taunts Aja saying that if he destroys Omen, so will the king and queen. While Omen ends up putting a self-destruct sequence, Aja tries to stop Omen while it tries to kill her. Morando then puts the footage in front of all of Akiridion-5. Unfortunately, Krel ends up fixing Mother, and Omen is switched off. Before that, Morando asks Loth to switch off the video, but the latter tells him he is unable to do it as Aja and Krel give a speech from Earth to Akiridion-5, inspiring hope against Morando. However, Omen switches back on, but is destroyed by Mother's gears. After that, Morando plans to come to Earth personally to end House Tarron.

Later, Gwendolyn will contact Morando after pretending to be reformed about the royals being in Arcadia. After the call Morando will make an asteroid that is the size of Arcadia and destroy it so he can lure the royals into a trap. Using this as a distraction, Morando will arrive on Earth, where he will meet Kubritz, who said that the asteroid nearly destroyed them, whie Morando then made a deal that he will give her the technology to wipe out extra-terrestrials off Earth.

Morand, then tries to enter the Mothership and ordered his Omens to disable the shields. Aja then called Buster to knoock them off but Morando ordered the Omens to kill Buster.
