Maha Zoldyck

Maha Zoldyck (マハ=ゾルディック, Maha Zorudikku) is the oldest assassin in the Zoldyck family and is Zeno's grandfather. He does not formerly appear in the 2011 anime and has only appeared once so far in the manga.

Appearance
Maha's body seems to have deteriorated considerably due to his old age. He stands at 140 centimeters (about 4 ft 7 in), 10 centimeters shorter than Kalluto.

Background
Almost nothing is known about him. He was later mentioned again by Zeno as having once fought Netero.

According to the 2004 databook, Maha is Zeno's father. But in Chapter 264 of the series, it seems as though Togashi may have retconned him as Zeno's grandfather.

Yorknew City arc
Maha's only appearance is when he, along with his great-great grandsons Kalluto and Illumi, assassinated the Ten Dons under the request of Chrollo Lucilfer.

Abilities & Powers
Maha is the only known Enhancer in the Zoldyck family. In his youth he was incredibly powerful, to the point that Isaac Netero, once considered the strongest fighter in the world, was the only person to fight him live to tell the tale. It is unknown if his strength has waned with old age.

Trivia



 * In the 2011 anime series, Maha does not appear during the Ten Dons assassination.
 * In an episode, Maha is mentioned in during Zeno's narration of Netero's back story.
 * The Zoldyck family relationships diagram appearing in Chapter 326 and Episode 141 (2011) includes Maha, with the mention "Basically untouched". This cameo is his sole (super-deformed) appearance in the 2011 anime, excluding a silhouette appearance with the other Zoldyck family members (with an unnamed grandmother) earlier in the same anime.
