History
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie
Elgar was charged with capturing Lerigot, the wizard that his aunt needed to get to Maligore. He failed and was then given the job of capturing two Earthen people of purity and strength so as to feed Maligore. Elgar first captured Bulk and Skull, but eventually succeeded in capturing Jason and Kimberly. After Maligore's defeat, he was knocked into the Pit of Eternal Flame, but survived and returned to Divatox's side.
Turbo
Elgar continued to serve as a commander for Divatox, but usually served as a bother to her, the rest of her crew, and the rangers. He later took Porto's new zord, the Terrorzord, on a test drive and actually started beating the Power Rangers and Blue Senturion in a Megazord fight. However one of the arms fell off and Elgar retreated back to the Space Base. The Terrozord was fixed and he attempted to fight the Rangers again, but lost when one of Divatox's monsters turned the Terrorzord into a camel. Elgar and Rygog later saw the Power Rangers teleporting to the Power Chamber, discovering its location. After their mistress launched an assault on the Power Chamber, Elgar led the charge and destroyed the plasma tube, preventing Zordon and Dimitria from returning. He then planted explosives all over the chamber, blowing it to smithereens, but left the Power Rangers alive, but without their powers.
In Space
Elgar attended the meeting of the United Alliance of Evil and was chosen to help Astronema as a guide to Earth. Though she didn't like him, she kept him around, usually giving him menial tasks like cleaning control panels. At one point, Elgar was sent to destroy a NASADA satellite that contained important discs that might reveal Zordon's location. He managed to retrieve the discs and the Space Rangers challenged him to battle. But Astronema had the Rangers chained up as a sacrifice for the monster, Clawhammer. However Andros stole the discs from Elgar using his telekinesis, and as punishment for losing them, Astronema made him play with her vicious pet, Scrudley. Elgar also took part in Dark Specter's universal invasion and lead the Piranhatrons and Quantrons to attack Angel Grove. However he was wiped out by Zordon's universal energy wave, along with his uncle.
Personality
Elgar is a dimwitted buffoon who seems to enjoy goofing more then being evil. At times, he accidentally helps the rangers due to his foolish decisions; he wasted one of Divatox's wishes on a head of hair for himself and when Divatox lost her memory and became a pizza delivery girl, Elgar was more interested in using her new job to get free pizza.
Elgar had affection for his aunt Divatox and believed, despite all evidence to the contrary, that she held affection for him. An example of this can be seen in him trying to comfort Divatox about her belief about being estranged from her family.
Despite his normal incompetence, Elgar does have moments of intellect; he once prevented Divatox from revealing her true identity to Blue Centurion in The Millennium Message and is an expert pilot of giant mechas, enough to rival the Power Ranger's zords.
Abilities
Elgar wields a Card Sword, a saber literally made of playing cards, and a Piranhatron whip. He can fire energy beams and teleport, a common power for Power Rangers villains.
Elgar is a surprisingly competent mecha pilot and was an incredible foe with the Terrorzord. On both occasions, Elgar in the TerrorZord nearly beat the Power Rangers and only was stopped due to the incompetence of the rest of Divatox's crew; in The Accident, due to Porto rushing the construction, the Terrorzord's arm falls off, whilst in Cassie's Best Friend, Mr. Goorific accidentally shoots a magic beam at Elgar turning his mecha into a camel right as he was moments away from victory.
