After his father, Horde Prime was vanquished by King Grayskull, Hordak assumed control of the vast Horde Empire. Ruling half of the cosmos with an iron grasp, Hordaks ultimate goal has been to reach Eternia and finish what his father could not. Served by an army of Robot Soldiers, and dark and terrible warriors gathered through the decades. Hordak eventually took Skeletor as his apprentice and taught him the ways of magic! He then stuck Eternia when it least suspected when King Randor and his Alien wife from Earth, Marlaina, celebrated the birth of their twin children, Adam and Adora. Knowing these two were destined to hold Eternias power, though not exactly how he and Skeletor attempted to take both children. But Randor's soldiers and the power of Grayskull decimated many of Hordaks warriors. Fleeing the planet, Hordak stole Adora and left Skeletor and many of the wounded to fend for themselves. Years later, Hordak made his long-awaited return to begin his campaign, only to perish in the last battle at the hands of She-ra and He-man. Skilled in Magic and advanced cyber nano-mite technology, Hordak was a dark and cruel enemy.
