He is the main antagonist of Ultraman Nexus. Zagi came into existance on the homeworld of the beings known to TLT as the Visitors, the jellyfish like race witnessed the awesome power of a being of light known as Ultraman Noa, an immortal force of good who had visited other planets to defend them against monsters.
Desiring a protector of their own, they went to work to create a duplicate of the great giant. However the end result was a horrid, dark and twisted mockery of Noa's form known as Dark Zagi. The dark giant forced his creators to destroy their homeworld in an attempt to destroy him, forcing his creators to flee to Earth. In the long years between his arrival on Earth and the destruction of his home world, his monster army, the Space Beasts terrorized the stars, facing numerous beings weilding the light of his template, Noa. Somehow he was defeated and his body seperated or destroyed leaving him little more than a floating sphere of dark energy, although he still commanded the Space Beast menace and even had the power to create other lesser dark Ultras, he himself could not take on his true form which was later fashioned into the construct known as Lethe.

Ultraman Nexus
For five years while TLT was creating the division called, Night Raiders, Zagi hid as Mitsuhiko manipulated the situation so that the power of Nexus could be strengthened to recreate his body. With the appearance of the second Dunamist he began his plans sending even more powerful Space Beasts and the dark giants Dark Faust, Dark Mephisto. By the time of the third Dunamist, Zagi was left with no Dark Giants of his own to command his monster legions so he backed them up with his own dark power.

He has the ability to generate a Dark Field G and it can power up Space Beasts, and is the power indentified as Unknown Hand.

Ultraman Ginga
Zagi (or at least another version of him) returned at the end of the Theater Special, having been summoned by Dark Lugiel to challenge Ginga. Appearing out of his signature Dark Field G, Zagi was met by Jean-Nine who challenged the Dark Giant. Zagi manhandled the robot fighter, nearly ripping off its head in a display of utter brutality before forcing it of line. It was only the timely appearance of Ginga that saved it. His Spark Doll was then recovered by Dark Lugiel and most likely held by him until his own defeat, after which all the spark dolls returned home.
