Zamorak was not always a god but was
once a mortal. How he became a god was once not known, and the specifics are still a bit fuzzy. However, it is now known by
talking to ghosts involved with a revolt which he led.
He used to be a Mahjarrat general of the army of the great god Zaros until he and some of his close followers decided to rebel. Using the Staff of Armadyl, which he obtained through a series of circumstances mentioned in more detail during a miniquest, Zamorak was able to stab
Zaros in the back with it whilst his close followers (including Hazeel, Drakan, Zemouregal, a human warrior named Viggora,
and some others not mentioned by name) fought off Zaros' body guards. He stabbed Zaros in the back with the staff but this
did not do much at first other than sending Zaros into a blind rage. Even though Zamorak was a Mahjarrat, who originate from
a plane of eternal war and thus are powerful fighters, Zaros was still able to continue the fight with him.
However,during this battle, Zaros
tripped, thus causing the Staff of Armadyl to impale Zamorak as well as him, thus sending Zaros' power through the staff into
Zamorak like an electrical current. After this, Zaros faded out of the dimension while cursing all humans involved in the
revolt to be invisible ghosts for the rest of eternity, and Zamorak seemed more solid, although he did not become a god until
a short time later.
It is believed that the other Gods disliked Zamorak even more than they disliked each other during the God Wars,
as in the God Wars Dungeon battle Armadyl, Saradomin and Bandos plan to make an alliance and defeat him.According the the Knowledge Base guide of Zamoraks
Fortress all gods are his enemies.
Full Zamorak is considered to be Zamorak platelegs/Zamorak plateskirt,Zamorak platebody, Zamorak full helmet, and Zamorak kiteshield.
Zamorak
signed his God Letters "Strength through Chaos".
