Horde Prime is the overarching antagonist of the Masters of the Universe franchise.
He is the ruler of the planet Hordeworld and the leader of the interstellar army known as the Evil Horde, who seeks to conquer the entire universe. He is responsible for sending out emissaries to conquer other planets in his name, most notably Hordak and, occasionally, Skeletor. In some incarnations, he is depicted as being related to Hordak (most commonly as his brother).
In She-Ra: Princess of Power, he was voiced by the late Lou Scheimer (credited as Erik Gunden), who also voiced Trap Jaw, Clawful, and numerous other characters in the franchise, as well as Jerry Mouse and Tom Cat in the Tom and Jerry franchise.
Biography[]
She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985)[]
Horde Prime appears as the overarching antagonist of the series, serving as the master of Hordak, the main antagonist. He seldom appears in person, and when he does he is almost always cloaked in silhouette.
In the mythology of She-Ra, Horde Prime is the only being with authority over Hordak as well as his Horde inspectors, for he is the intergalactic ruler of the Horde Empire, with control over all Horde regimes. He apparently hails from a world known as Horde World although his exact background has never been revealed. All that has ever been seen of Horde Prime is a gigantic skeletal robotic arm, which suggests he may be some sort of cyborg. He travels the universe in his ship, the Velvet Glove, keeping watch over the Horde's universal activities.

Trivia[]
- Much like Shadow Weaver, Horde Prime did not originally appear in the Masters of the Universe toy line, having been created specifically for She-Ra: Princess of Power. He would subsequently go on to appear in other incarnations of the franchise, commonly depicted as Hordak's superior, or otherwise the original founder of the Horde.
- Emiliano Santalucia, when asked if the being inside the crystal of the first 200x Masters of the Universe comic series was the Unnamed One from the minicomics The Powers of Grayskull: The Legend Begins!, he mentioned that the Unnamed One's essence was split in two, one trapped in the crystal and the other taking a mechanical body and becoming Horde Prime.
- For the Filmation series, the animation model for Horde Prime's giant metallic hand was designed by character artist Dale Hendrickson.
