THE ORANGUTANS
The Oragautan's act as the
chief council and law makers among Ape Society. They are
often deep in thought contemplating social implications
of policies, as well as trying to create cohesion within
the Gorilla, Chimpanzee, and Oragutan subgroups of
society. The most famous Orangutan leader is Dr. Zauis.
In the future Zauis serves as the chief defender of the
faith in the first two Planet of the Apes movies. He
works to control unruly gorillas by allying with their
leader General Ursus. Zauis while a scientist at heart
respects social implications of science more so than
science itself. Other notable Oragutan figures include
the Lawgiver who acts as teacher of Apes and Human
children in the future of the Battle for the Planet of
the Apes movies. In addition to the lawgiver the Oragutan
known as Virgil served as the all knowing advisor to
Cesar in the last film. A guardian of Cesar's concience
Mandemus served as a keeper of an armory of weapons meant
to insure power is not misused. With the exception of
Virgil, the Law Giver, and Mandemus, Orangutan's are
largely portrayed throughout the Apes saga as
politicians.
