Omar von Zinzer

Omar von Zinzer was a soldier on one of the Duke D'Omas' walking gunboats, the Vienna 707. He was also such a jerk that even his own brother didn't particularly like him.

After the destruction of the Vienna, he escaped with Moloch and eventually made his way to Beetleburg. Unfortunately for him, one of his first acts while there was to mug Agatha Heterodyne in an alley. His brother managed to dissuade him from beating her up too badly, but he did insist on stealing her locket.

Later that day, Omar began losing function for no readily obvious reason. By the afternoon he could no longer walk or recognize Moloch, he lost consciousness around sundown, and in the morning, he finally died. The exact cause of death is a subject of debate; it is certainly framed to appear that the effects of the locket device caused his brain to shut down, but Agatha did flip out at him, and it has since been established that revenants can die from being ordered to do so. The question may never be undeniably resolved.
