Don Genie

The famous head mogul of the universal traders, Don Genie is extremely rich. As such, he has developed an extremely narcissistic attitude and views other humans with contempt. Despite his riches, he has been arrested multiple times for his illegal trade of energy resources and weapons. For each arrest, he has had to pay a small fortune to be freed and allowed to walk.

He recently became an F-Zero pilot. He spent a fortune purchasing the Fat Shark. It is unknown what his reasons for joining are, but it may be to promote his trading company. He himself has stated that controlling F-Zero will be his largest investment of all. He has little respect for his fellow pilots, though he thinks Captain Falcon has potential and is believed to have connections to Black Shadow.

Ikran's F-Zero timeline
Don Genie was introduced in The Power of the Falcon. After Rick collected 51 successful bounties, he and Tinsel decided to head to Planet Giant for a week. While there, they found out that Don's determined to awaken the four sacred Materia deities that reside there, Holidus (solid), Lixa (liquid), Gastro (gas), Plassein (plasma). He has captured them and Lily along with the two deities, Lixa and Gastro. He then released sleeping nerve gas onto the trio, though Rick was protected by Falcon's oxygen unit. So, Don activated high gravity and hypnotized Rick into going to sleep.

Meanwhile, Holidus was released and wreaked havoc on Don's air palace. The heroes escaped while the titans warred with each other, and soon met up with Plassein. Don Genie was thrilled of his plan, and as soon as Rick collected the three main spheres, he and Plassein were trapped and electrocuted. Through desperation, and with his newfound abilities, Rick broke free, though Plassein perished and the savior was comatose. Tinsel finished the job by uniting all four orbs, Lily and Jack played the ancient melody, and the planet was restored. Don was soon incarcerated by Jody and EAD, in a severely crippled state, of course.
