Overview

Korthan, lord of destruction and chaos at your service!
~ Kothan introducing himself to Charleston.
Word of advice, Windsor... don't play god amongst gods.
~ Korthan taunting Windsor as he bleeds out before eventually shooting him with an energy beam.

Kortanitus, known also as Korthan, is the main antagonist of the The Dream Zone franchise.

He is the main antagonist of the main series, the overarching antagonist in the first arc of the sequel series Legends of Demor, and the overarching posthumous antagonist for the remainder of the series and subsequent spin-offs.

He is a dream/nightmare spirit hybrid originating from the Dreamscape hell-bent on destroying Demor and controlling the universe via absorbing the power of the Pillar of Light. He was created by an event known as the Merging, where both dream and nightmare spirits inside the Dream Zone come together to create a hybrid spirit. However, more nightmare spirits joined in Korthan's creation, which is most likely the cause of his sadistic and malicious nature.

He is the arch-nemesis of Charleston and Ariana Witherra, as well as the younger brother of Wanakwe, Rautha, and Death.

Appearance[]

During his infant and adolescent stages of life, he took the form of a black wolf with red markings, as a contrast to the white fox-like appearance of Wanakwe. His appearance in Witherra to Hunter is due to his shedding of that appearance, much like how a snake sheds its skin.

Korthan appears to be a pyramid with an eye on each side of the pyramid. Other than that, he has an almost humanoid body. He wears a bow tie, a black suit with black pants, and black shoes. He has pale white human hands. Korthan also has an alternate form, which he uses when he reaches ultimate power, or just upset. The alternate form makes Korthan's pyramid head red and the eyes black with red pupils. the bow tie transforms into shoulder blades, which house sickly green flames. His body becomes almost specter-like. A split in the middle divides Korthan's upper body and the lower body. The features of the specter body appear to have nebulas. His arms are normal expect for his hands, which become large and resemble gloves. The glove like structures have eyes.

In Dream Zone #3, Korthan's appearance changes, and once again sheds his appearance. After the shedding is done, he has the head of a dream catcher, with an eye in the center and antlers on the sides of it. Feathers hang down from the head as a beard, but otherwise, he still maintains his black attire. His enraged form is more or less the same, except the head grows larger antlers. The split is replaced by an eye as well.

Personality[]

WOW! You really though you had one over me! Did you actually think YOU were the mastermind here? Bad news for you, buddy, but I was always four steps ahead.
~ Korthan taunting Windsor after slitting his throat, displaying his cruelty and planning mastery.

Korthan is a very sadistic and psychotic being. Combined with a strong nihilistic mindset and unhinged self-importance, he is a very unstable and unpredictable entity. He views the lives of mortals as games he gets to toy with and generally has no regard for life, serving as the exact opposite of his "brother" Wanakwe, taking immense pleasure in the suffering of others. Even to his most loyal subordinates, he treats them as simple pawns and ruthlessly punishes failure or deviation. His speech patterns and mannerisms always differentiate between a bored adult, a spoiled child, or a cruel and detached person.

Korthan also displays a certain manipulative skill, knowing how to appeal to the human mind with the promise of resurrection, infinite power, wealth, or anything of the such. This has been displayed numerous times via the past manipulation of Master Phoenix to betray House Witherra and the Layufta-Swiftclaw and Headmistress Ravyn to murder 50 of her students for the promises of power. He often utilizes fear for when standard manipulation won't work, using such methods to motivate his Messengers of Death.

Despite viewing worth in certain lives, these are only if it is convenient to him; he simply cares for no one, as seen when he coldly dismissed the Messengers as "weak" and "useless" after they were killed or insulting his creator, the Celestial Being of Darkness. However, for all his qualities, deep down he is a coward. His drive to become the Ultimate being is only to avert and alleviate his fear of death. The most prominent display of such quality comes from when he pleads with Death and Wanakwe as he is dragged to Nothingness, where his essence with evaporate and he will essentially die.

Powers and Abilities[]

YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME? I HAVE FOUGHT BEINGS MORE POWERFUL THAN I, DESTROYED COUNTLESS CIVILIZATIONS. I... KNOW...EVERYTHING.
~ Korthan explaining the immensity of his power to the Oracle.

Korthan's power is incredibly immense. So much so, that his power had to be separated into three orbs to contain it, The Orb of Time gives Korthan the power to reverse time, control it, and stop it altogether. He can also kill someone by accelerated natural aging using the time powers, as well as revival. The Orb of Destruction gives him the power to manifest chaos itself. He can warp reality, warp the land, manipulate the air, water, and fire, as well as creating deadly beasts known as the Orivine Beasts. Finally, the Orb of Wisdom gives Korthan the ability to see the future. He can also see an opponent's move before it even happens. It also allows him to speak to and reanimate the dead.

Even with the Orbs of Power, Korthan still has more abilities. He can manifest himself in dreams and create nightmares. He can also create false visions as long as he is in the victim's head. Korthan also has the ability to project himself in the Mindscape, as well as clairvoyance. Korthan can also invade one's mind and tamper with the victim's memories.

Despite his infinite powers, he has few weaknesses. In the past, he was defeated by the ancient God-Killer spell, which was uttered by the last wizards of House Witherra. He can also be destroyed by the ancient super weapon, but it failed in Blake. The ray had narrowly missed him, and he ended up disintegrating the weapon before it could be used again.

Inside the Dream Zone itself is where his abilities are almost limitless. Being a nightmare spirit, he can induce his targets with nightmares or false visions of the future. However, inside the Dream Zone is also where he is at his most vulnerable. Korthan cannot be killed in the physical world, but he can be wiped from existence if he is slain in the Dreamscape. However, if a singular body part remains, it will still hold his consciousness and power as seen through Tolos.

Quotes[]

I have many names...My personal favorite bring my own, of course.
~ Korthan telling Charles he has many names.
Look, I like you, kid. But if you get in my way, well, I hope the clouds are ready for a family reunion.
~ Kothan threading to kill Charles if he interferes with his plans.
Goro's mind was the most vulnerable out of all of you losers. He had the most insecurities... the most trauma... and he was most vulnerable to my memory distortion. It's only a matter of time before I destroy you and the beast from within his mind consumes the rest of your FLESH!!
~ Korthan explaining why he chose to put his brain parasite into Goro's head.
Was that REALLY the Ancient Superweapon? If you had come five moths early, MAYBE it would have killed me.
~ Korthan's remarks on the Weapon's viability as he destroys it.
Do you have any idea how LONG I've been waiting for this moment? The look on your face is like my own catharsis. For far too long, I've tolerated your stupidity, your insolence, your incompetence, your... EVERYTHING! I've tolerated everything up to this point, this exact moment where I get to finally end your pitiful existence. You were useful for a while, but you outlived it when you gained remorse.
~ Korthan's resentment toward Blake before killing him.
You can't stop the inevitable! G'bye!
~ Korthan's catchphrase and most famous quote.
Now you're a pawn who's run out of moves. Normally, I'd kill you by spilling out your guts and leaving you to bleed to death. But you know what? I'm feeling generous. Here... have a present.
~ Korthan at Rayn's last moments.
You may have won this battle, Witherra. But the war is far from over!
~ The last thing Korthan says before transforming into a stone cocoon.
Where do you think you're going?
~ Korthan to Charles as he attempts to leave the Dreamscape.
Slaughter is fun!
~ Korthan proudly saying killing is amusing.
Bursting into light... how... cliché.
~ Korthan's final words before his first defeat.
So nice to see you... older brother!
~ Korthan speaking to Wanakwe through Tolos.
Well isn't this nice? All my enemies, collected together into one group! Reminds me of that one time 45 years ago... and now that makes me very ANGRY.
~ Tolos/Korthan to the New Witherra group.


Tolos?! What- NO! NO! STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!! YOU'LL DIE, ALONG WI- NOOOOOOOOOOO!
~ Korthan's last words as Tolos tries to restrain him so Anabelle can split him in half.


Trivia[]

  • He may be inspired by Bill Cipher, the main antagonist of Gravity Falls.
  • Korthan has said enjoys music a lot, preferring jazz and classical music.
  • Korthan shares some similarities to Bill Cipher.
    • Both are dream demons.
    • At one point, both shared similar appearances.
    • Both have violent tendencies.
    • At the height of their power, both could manipulate the fabric of reality and time itselfs.
    • However, due to the similarity with Bill Cipher, it is mainly the reason why Korthan's appearance changes at the end of Hunter.
  • Korthan's murders are often gruesome in nature; he turns Dr. Stone inside out, rips Windsor's throat, has Mistress Ravyn crushed within the Academy, burns off Blake's skin to the point of exposing his skeleton, and mutilated most of the Witherra soldiers and split the Celestial Beings of Darkness and Light in half; this is completely out of pure sadistic enjoyment.
  • In the original draft of The Dream Zone, the main antagonist was a being made from nightmares that went by the name of the Nightmare King. However, the idea was scrapped for having similarities with Cucumber Quest's Nightmare Knight, and he was replaced by Korthan.
  • If Korthan were to have a voice actor, he would most likely be voiced by Alex Hirsch or Robbie Daymond.
  • Korthan technically did not die after his first two defeats; his power was split to three orbs and his essence bound forever to wander the Dreamscape. His second defeat seemed as if his death was permanent, but his arm survived Korthan's defeat and harbored his remaining conscious. His true death occurs in the final book in the sequel series when Charleston's daughter Anabel cuts Korthan in half while he regenerates his body after separating from Tolos.
  • Korthan's redesign based on a dreamcatcher was an accidental choice, and worked so well it went toward the redesign.
