[edit] Anime
The anime version of Prozen is highly ambitious and self-serving. He believes the Helic Republic to be nothing but a band of rebels usurping the Empire's land, and desires to rule the Empire and all of Planet Zi. He gradually climbs his way to the top of the political hierarchy, conspiring behind the scenes, stepping on everyone who gets in his way and casting people aside when he no longer needs them.
Prozen is manipulative as well, feigning concern for the ailing Emperor Zepplin to gain favour in the eyes of his peers. He stops at nothing to gain what he wants, even hiring assassins to kill the Crown Prince Rudolph in order to take his throne. He appears to hold fascist ideals, believing that only the one who holds the most power deserves the right to rule.

[edit] Death Saurer
Both the Battle Story and Anime versions of Prozen are associated with the Death Saurer.
In the Battle Story, Prozen used a Bloody Death Saurer, a special Death Saurer (painted red instead of black) to spearhead the ascension of the Neo Zenebas empire. The Bloody Death Saurer self destructed, wiping out an entire city and most of the Helic and Guylos armies in the explosion, causing heavy damage to both sides and allowing the Neo Zenebas to rise from the ashes and seize power.
In the anime, the Death Saurer was a legendary Zoid created by the ancient Zoidians, which Prozen revived in secret using Zoid cores gathered by his minion Raven and his Geno Saurer. The Death Saurer proved impossible to control, even posessing Prozen himself with its evil will, posing a significant threat to all of Zi. The Republic and the Empire teamed up to defeat it, with Van Flyheight striking the killing blow with his Blade Liger.
