Biography
Very little is known about HWAoC:'s life before the events of. All that is known is that he was born and raised in a certain village in HWAoC: and that he eventually became a powerful sorcerer and a follower of HWAoC: and would later align with the HWAoC:. Shortly after a future HWAoC:, a miniature HWAoC: created by HWAoC: when she was young, travels to the past, the HWAoC: that followed it possesses the dormant past HWAoC:, forming HWAoC:. At some point HWAoC: found HWAoC: and used it to see into the future, setting his grand plan of destroying HWAoC: into motion.

HWAoC: first appears after the defeat of HWAoC: in HWAoC:, disappointed at the HWAoC: leader's incompetence. He then views a glimpse of the future through HWAoC:, stating that he will not allow anyone to alter the course of the future. The seer makes himself known to the NaN Championss during their visit to the HWAoC:, where he summons HWAoC: clones of the NaN Championss, called NaN Hollows, to attack them. He then appears at the foot of HWAoC:, commanding the NaN Hollows to kill HWAoC:. However, the HWAoC: awakens for HWAoC:, who retrieves it from its pedestal and quickly defeats Astor. After HWAoC: begins to reactivate the NaN Sheikah Towers, HWAoC: commands the HWAoC: to prevent the final tower from being activated, as it would reveal their location to the NaN Championss. He then explains how HWAoC: is a fusion of HWAoC: and HWAoC:, and that he will use its power to bring the world to its knees, though HWAoC: deems this statement foolish. His orders to the HWAoC: end up unfulfilled, as the NaN Championss are able to reactivate the final HWAoC: and take control of the HWAoC:. Enraged that the seer would allow this to happen, HWAoC: grabs him by the neck. However, HWAoC: calmly explains that their defeat was ordained by fate, and that if the HWAoC: were to harm him they would make themselves enemies of HWAoC:.

Soon after HWAoC: awakens and HWAoC: is taken over, HWAoC: betrays the HWAoC: and kills large numbers of NaN Yiga Footsoldiers, using their life energy to revive the four Blights, who failed to kill the NaN Championss before. He tells a horrified HWAoC: and HWAoC: that by becoming a blood sacrifice to HWAoC:, they will finally become useful, summoning a HWAoC: of HWAoC: to do the deed. HWAoC: begins to run as Sooga advises, but changes his mind and decides to stay and fight alongside HWAoC:. However, their battle ends with HWAoC: fleeing to seek assistance from HWAoC: and HWAoC: presumably being killed.

HWAoC: appears again during the battle at HWAoC:, where he summons the Blights to attack HWAoC:. HWAoC: attempts to fight them off, but is quickly overwhelmed. HWAoC:, desperate to save HWAoC:, awakens her sealing power and incapacitates the Blights, allowing HWAoC: to destroy them once more while HWAoC: flees.

As the NaN Championss reclaim the HWAoC: and begin infiltrating HWAoC:, HWAoC: makes his final stand against them alongside HWAoC: itself, ranting that as HWAoC:'s right hand man, it is his destiny to destroy HWAoC: and his allies. The two are defeated, and as the NaN Championss close in on them, HWAoC: attempts to command HWAoC: to destroy them. However, his efforts are cut short as he becomes consumed by HWAoC:, screaming in agony as HWAoC: absorbs him into itself and uses his power to transform into its true form - HWAoC:.

Trivia

 * Astor is similar to various sorcerer or sorcerer like villains in the series, such as Agahnim, Ghirahim, and Cole.
 * For Agahnim, both are sorcerers that fight Link and his allies with energy balls and teleporting, seek to revive Ganon, and were once the most trusted persons in the Hyrulean Royal Family. However, while Agahnim was Ganon's alter ego, Astor is his own separate entity, similar to the manga deceptions of the character, most particularly the Himekawa manga. Fittingly, both are killed by Ganon after successfully reviving him.
 * For Ghirahim, both are harbingers of their masters' arrival and always antagonize Zelda, though while Ghirahim was willing to die to be absorbed by his master, Astor's absorption was unwilling.
 * For Cole, both have an unhealthy grandiose sense of self-importance, betray their closet allies (Byrne and the Yiga Clan), and are devoured by their masters after they ordered them to defeat Link and Zelda.
