The Warlord is the enigmatic leader of a terrorist group during the Cold War, intent on conquering the world through all scientific developments. His initial appearance is marked by his troops attacking a United Nations mountain laboratory, resulting in the death of Professor Jennings. This event prompts the formation of the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, who utilize Jennings’ inventions to combat the Warlord’s global threats. Throughout the series, the Warlord employs advanced technology and commands a vast army of both recruited criminals and combat robots to challenge the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents. His subordinates include notable villains such as the Iron Maiden and Andor. Despite his formidable resources and strategic acumen, the Warlord’s plans are consistently thwarted by the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, leading to his eventual defeat, where his true identity is revealed to be inhuman.
