Zhylaw the Last appeared as the main antagonist in The Chronicles of Riddick and was the sixth Lord Marshal of the Necromonger Empire. He adopted their darkest philosophy about the planets unwilling to convert, with infanticide. He was believed to be the last Lord Marshal —the one who would lead all Necromongers through the Threshold and into the glory of the Underverse—. But alas, this was not to be, as he was killed at the hands of the Furyan known as Riddick.
