Specter

"What madness is this?"

- Specter upon seeing Cold transform

Specter (スペクター, Supekutā) was a character in Ground Up. He is introduced in "Part 1".

History
Specter ruled the galaxy before King Cold and his sons. He had enslaved the Arcosian species sometime in his lifetime. King Cold hated living under Specter's oppressive, poverty-inducing rule, so he started to organize dissent amongst his people. Specter became aware of this, so he killed King Cold's wife and abducted his son, Frieza. He wanted to draw King Cold to him in order to kill the Arcosian before he could instigate a planet-wide rebellion. As it so happened, King Cold had some transformations that Specter didn't know about, so Specter was killed by King Cold after a short duel. His empire (including his fleet over King Cold's homeworld, all of his other conquered slaveworlds, and all of his military legions) passed on to King Cold and his sons as it was turned into the Planet Trade Organization.
