Character History[]
to be added
Personality[]
Zador is a very flashy and cool pirate. Always bubbly, Zador wants everything to be stimulating and he is always curious. Once he aims at a target, he moves forward without flinching no matter what. Zador is the type to stick his head where it doesn't belong. Due to his nature as a pirate, Zador seemed distant towards his team members but later became closer to them.
Although he prefers to work in a team, Zador is an unpredictable character who does reckless things to satisfy his curiosity, describing his actions as what any pirate would do at that moment. Zador is also someone who cares a lot about his crew and others even if he doesn't necessarily show it. After trusting his teammates, he believed in his crew and did not worry about them when they were in a bind, showing that he had a lot of faith in them, especially Nathan.
Ranger Forms[]
As Grid Pirate Ranger, Zador has a very flashy fighting style. He opts to perform cartwheels and flashy maneuvers in hand-to-hand combat, along with gunplay with the Grid Pirate Morpher's blaster Form. He will also use dirty tactics such as shooting his enemy in the back as long as it benefits him.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Zador is portrayed by Evan Crooks.
Design[]
- Grid Pirate Ranger's suit is heavily inspired by the Super Mega Mode of the Mega Rangers, with ridges going all the way down his legs. His helmet visor is a 1:1 recreation of Super Megaforce Red's. His silhouette evokes the Legendary Megazord with his helmet being very similar to the Megazord's, as well as his shoulder armor extending past his shoulders.
- His shoulder armor also uses the zigzag pattern on the Grid Masters' logo.
- Grid Pirate Ranger's Zeo form recalls various elements of Zeo including Gold Zeo Ranger's suits, as well as Auric the Conqueror's loincloth and color. On his loincloth are the symbols of the five Zeo Rangers in order of the Zeo Megazord formation. Grid Pirate Ranger's helmet also now has Zeo Ranger V Red's logo on it.
- Grid Pirate Ranger's Samurai form recalls the Shark Attack Modeās red coat of the Samurai Rangers, with Red Samurai Ranger's symbol on his chest as well as the Samurai logo on either side. Grid Pirate Ranger's helmet also now has a fire kanji on the helmet.
- His Super T-Rex form's design is based on Quantasaurus Rex from Power Rangers Time Force.
Etymology[]
- Zador's name was originally intended to be the original name of Orion/Super Megaforce Silver.
Notes[]
