Duke Zaki is a temporary antagonist of the eighth episode Voltes V.

Personality[]
Duke Zaki is a person full of deception, always seeking to kill Prince Heinel if he has the chance. To this end, he conspires with Do Bergan and later Zuhl to have the prince killed. He also likes delivering bad news to Zu Zambajil, leading to many of the Emperor's executions being ordered. He is also extremely over confident, thinking that he can send Heinel to the latter's death via conspiracy, only for the prince to prove him wrong and kill him.
Biography[]
At the start of the series, Emperor Zu Zambajil sends his nephew, Prince Heinel, to lead an invasion against Earth with legions of fleets. In truth, he wants to send Heinel away to remove a perceived threat for his rule. To ensure Heinel's death, he sends Duke Zaki and general Do Bergan to pretend aiding Heinel, but in truth to kill him if necessary.
Zaki and Zuhl conspire to kill Heinel on multiple occasions. Being the chief inspector for the Emperor, Zaki constantly delivers bad news to the latter from his spying, leading to Zu Zambajil ordering several excutions.
Halfway through the war, Zaki conspires with Dr. Zuhl to send Heinel to his death by having the prince piloting a beast fighter while they leak information about its weak points to Big Falcon. However, Heinel's aide Ri Katherine overhears the plot and reports it to him, so Heinel orders Zuhl to reinforce the weak points. During the battle, Heinel destroys Zaki's ship with him inside.
