Background
At some point after Veldanava named Zelanus, he gave birth to Peliod, whose powers as a "Queen-Type" allowed her to create an untold amount of Insects that extended his range of influence in the underworld tremendously. From the Insects, powerful Insectars were eventually born and given jobs as the ruling class that managed the numerous insects under them, acting as Zelanus' hands and feet. Zelanus also gave birth to Zess himself, acting as if meaning to make him his heir, but in reality planning to eat him when he grew powerful enough.

The Insectars were named the Twelve Insect Generals and Zess was appointed as their commander. From here Zelanus maintained a rocky relationship with the Phantoms and their ruler Feldway, with the two only setting aside their differences when the Cryptid population grew out of control and stampeded. When Veldanava perished, Zelanus was quick to dismiss the offer of an alliance from Feldway, later reconsidering when he met with Michael who bore a similar presence to Veldanava. To attest to their alliance, Zelanus sent Razul and Minaza to the Eastern Empire to serve Michael and act as an avant-garde. To act as replacements, and to bolster as much power as possible for the oncoming war, Zelanus had Peliod give birth to a new Queen-Type and he also gave birth to a second son. However, Zess, taking too much after his father, grew wary of their potential and eventually attacked them, forcing the pair to flee to the Central World.
