Dr. Ziggurat (ジグラット, Jiguratto) is the main antagonist of Beyblade: Metal Masters.

Ziggurat is the CEO and Chairman of Hades Incorporated, or Hades Inc. for short, owner of HD Academy, and the inventor of the Arrangement System. He is also the owner of Team Star Breaker and owns a Spiral Capricorn 90MF.

He is one of the masterminds behind the Dark Nebula in order to test L-Drago's Dark Power. He continued to invent and test the arrangement system on the students of HD Academy. The system would create the perfect Beyblader; Faust. With it successful Dr. Ziggurat went to use Beyblade to create the perfect energy system which would power his greatest creation: The Spiral Force.

Physical Appearance

Ziggurat is a tall Caucasian man with black hair, who always wears orange triangular shades over his eyes. He wears a long black suit with a dark green tie and black pants. A notable feature of his face, is his small goatee. He's often seen with his rabbit-like pet squirrel in his arms.

Personality

Dr. Ziggurat was very manipulative in his ways to achieve his ambitious. By using Toby's condition to blackmail Zeo into fighting Masamune, making Zeo believe that it was all Masamune's fault, and turn the two friends against each other. He also showed no remorse in brainwashing Toby and actually claimed that this was what Zeo wanted as Toby was now cured. He also enjoyed the destruction caused by the demonstration of the power of the Spiral Force.

Ziggurat was a man of science, seeking to use beys as an alternate energy source, but then changed his plans to rather sell the Spiral Force to the highest bidder. He told Ruga not to compare him to Doji, who, in his eyes, was so obsessed with gaining power he couldn't think objectively anymore. He later showed signs of arrogance when explaining Tempo's power by using Einstein's theory, claiming that Einstein was nothing in comparison to him.

The scientist also showed a very cowardly side at the end when he, after realizing that his invention had gotten out of control, tried to flee Hades City, claiming that none of this was his fault, all he intended was to help humanity and it was actually the fault of Gingka and his friends.

Beyblade: Metal Masters

Ziggurat used to be a mental and energy doctor, but quit a few years before the world championship. He believed that with science, he can fully reveal a person's powers through a system he called Arrangement. He built an energy company called Hades Inc and a Beyblade training center called HD Academy. He used the academy as subjects for his arrangement System.

To test the full extent of his arrangement system, Ziggurat found a young man who was gravely ill named Toby. He convinces his friend Zeo Abyss to join HD Academy and leave Toby in Ziggurat's care. Years later the world championship tournament approaches; Big Bang Bladers and Ziggurat uses his top three students in the Academy as the American representational Team being Zeo, Jack and Damian Hart.

They were all fully arranged and Ziggurat decided to use them to test the full extent of Beyblades everywhere, taking particular interest in the strongest left and right rotation beyblades belonging to Gingka and Ryuga. He orders Jack to find and hunt down Ryuga, Jack does so and Ryuga enters the Academy wanting to battle him. Ziggurat reveals to Ryuga that a while ago he tested the Dark Power of L-Drago with Ryuga as its subject, this enraged Ryuga to escape. Ziggurat made many attempts to capture him but failed.

He would next use Damian to test Julian Konzern's dual rotation Beyblade but is unimpressed. Instead Ziggurat uses the finals of the championship to gather all the information he needs to finish his ultimate project. With all the data gathered from Big Bang Bladers, to complete Toby's arrangement and transform him into Faust. He would then use Faust and his bey Twisted Tempo to create the ultimate energy system known as the Spiral Force.

Ziggurat announced this project at the Big Bang Bladers Celebration Finale, where Gingka Hagane and his allies challenged Ziggurat's forces. Ziggurat decided to remain out of the battles and prepared to sell his Spiral Force to the highest bidder, but was stopped by Gingka, Ryuga, and Zeo. Ziggurat hasn't been seen after he was defeated by Zeo and the ending shows Hades City sunk into the ocean meaning that he is left behind and drowned and it presumed that he was dead for good.

Beyblade: Metal Fury

Despite he didn't appear himself after his defeat, Ziggurat was mentioned by Gingka and his friends friends several times. Doji also mentioned that spiral force from Hades inc and the awakening of Lightning L-Drago was part of the plan to assist the revive of Nemesis to take over the world.
