Zorak is the father of [[Tengaar]] and the leader of [[Warriors' Village]]. Zorak has a high amount of proud of his heritage and held a great deal of historical knowledge about both the Warriors' Village and the greater [[Lorimar]] region, often sharing the legends of Warriors' Village with others, despite reactions against him doing so.  When [[Hero (Suikoden)|the hero]] arrived, Zorak took him into his home to explain the village's situation with [[Neclord]] as well as tell him of the customs of Warriors' Village, talking until the sun had set.

After marching to [[Neclord's Castle]], Zorak demanded his daughter returned, but Neclord refused, preventing all but McDohl and his party from entering his castle.
