[edit] History

Zaius was the highest ranking member of the High Council of Central City in the year 3085. Obviously based on the character from the movies, he filled the same function as his namesake. He knew of the potential of humans and would stop at nothing to maintain the status qou. He wished to question the astronauts in order to prevent more following them.

  • The shooting script for "Escape from Tomorrow" indicates that Zaius is in his mid-fifties at the time of the Planet of the Apes television series.
