Destane

Destane is the father of Mozenrath and the former ruler of the Land of the Black Sand. He was evil sorcerer with many character similarities to Jafar. Mozenrath took control of the Land of the Black Sand from his father Destane. According to Iago, Destane was a real hard case and even Jafar steered well clear of him. Mozenrath explained that he stole from his father Destane his power and his humanity, and turning him into one of his undead soldiers. This implies that Mozenrath betrayed his father Destane, killed him, and turned his body into a zombie.
