ā€œ She's gone mad! She's flooded the capitol! She'll destroy this country! ā€ž
~ Gzar Theodore Malik on Maligula

He was voiced by Fred Tatasciore.

His Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]

  • He was a brutal and tyrannical dictator who oppressed and exploited his own people so that his own family could live in luxury.
  • Rigging the countries elections so that he and his clan the Grulovian monarchy would continue to be in power.
  • Rather than do anything to solve the citizens problem, He turned an innocent psychic Lucrecia into a murderous psychopath known as Maligula in order to keep himself in power and act as an enforcer to crush any uprisings. One which accidentally killed her own sister and brother-in-law which was what made her finally snap becoming the infamous psychic that flooded the country.
  • He pretended to be thankful for Lucrecia's assist during the war but harbored envious hatred of her, due to her being more popular amongst the people than he was.
  • When his actions resulted in Maligula's destructive behavior, he quickly showed disloyalty out of fear for his own safety and secretly ordered his executioner to do kill her.
  • When he realized he couldn’t kill her and that she was now going to destroy all of Grulovia he along with the rest of his family fled the country leaving all his citizens to suffer from her wrath.
  • Overall, despite that he is long dead before the start of the series the actions he took against people of Grulovia protesting against his leadership caused Lucrecia to become Maligula, and cause untold destruction and death that would lead to the events of both games.
  • When compared to the other major antagonists such as Coach Oleander, Dr. Loboto and Lucrecia/Maligula who experienced tragedy in their backstories and eventually redeem themselves, Gzar Theodore is shown to be nothing more than a despicable tyrant.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]

  • Despite his tyrannical rule and being manipulative and abusive towards them, he did genuinely love his family as he was initially grateful to Lucrecia for saving his son from enemy soldiers and had them escaped with him when they went into exile for fear of Maligula and the eventual coup against him.

Trivia[]

  • He is currently the only Psychonauts villain to be NPE.
