Back Story of the Sixth-Scale Forbidden Zone Dr. Zaius from Sideshow Collectibles
The orangutan Dr. Zaius is the feared Minister of Science and Chief Defender of the Faith on the Ape planet. His administration abides by the teachings of the Lawgiver, as set forth by the Sacred Scrolls that He left behind over 1200 years ago. These teachings espouse total dominance over man, including extermination if man poses a threat to simian survival. On the Ape planet, humans are primitive mutes and wild foragers. Dr. Zaius believes humans are a threatening nuisance and uses the ape army to mercilessly control the human population through hunting and enslavement. Always on watch for heretical ideas and actions, Zaius is confounded by the appearance of the Astronaut Taylor who can speak, write and reason like an ape. Discounting Taylor's story of space travel and the crash landing on this planet, Zaius believes him to be from a human tribe beyond the Forbidden Zone, the area where no ape may travel. As the keeper of secret knowledge, Zaius is frightened by Taylor and knows the dark truth behind the origins of man and ape.
