Maha Zoldyck (マハ゠ゾルディック, Maha Zorudikku)*[1] is the oldest living member of the Zoldyck Family and Zeno's grandfather.
Appearance
Maha's body has probably 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.[2]
Plot

Maha makes a brief cameo appearance during Killua's deduction of everyone's relationship with each other in the family. Maha appears to have no relationship of any kind with anyone in his family.[5]
Abilities & Powers
According to Zeno, Maha was incredibly powerful in his youth, to the point that Isaac Netero, once considered the strongest fighter in the world, received praise for likely stalemate him in a fight: he was, in fact, the only person that far to challenge Maha and lived to tell the tale.[2] However, the statement could also be taken to mean simply that Maha and Isaac have fought in the past and, prior to the latter's death, were both extremely long-lived. It is unknown if Maha's strength has waned with old age.

Trivia
- In the official databook, his name is also spelled as "Mahha Zaoldyeck".[1]
- His name is not given in the manga nor in any of the anime adaptations, having been revealed in the official databook.[1]
- In Coco Loo's explanation[3] and according to the 2004 databook,[1] Maha is Zeno's father.[3][1] However, in Chapter 264, it seems as though Yoshihiro Togashi retconned him as being Zeno's grandfather. His age may have been changed as well since the family tree lists him as being the same age as Isaac Netero.[2]
- It is also possible that Maha and Zigg Zoldyck are the same person and that his name was retconned along with his age and his relations to the rest of the family.
Anime and Manga Differences
- Maha does not appear during the Yorknew City arc in the 2011 anime adaptation.
- In the 1999 anime adaptation of the Greed Island arc, Maha appeared in a non-speaking cameo.[6]
