In the seventh season of the television series Charmed, Zankou is a powerful upper-level demon important directly and in the backplot behind the writing of many episodes, beginning with "Witchness Protection" and ending in the season's finale episode: "Something Wicca This Way Goes". He is portrayed by actor Oded Fehr and portrayed as more powerful than any of the single Charmed Ones requiring their united "Power of Three" to oppose him successfully.

Zankou was a highly powerful demon, incarcerated by The Source, for inciting a failed coup against him and opposing the Source’s power. Whilst he was incarcerated, Zankou’s power was still great enough that he still had knowledge of recent events. Such knowledge included the presence of the Charmed Ones, the death of the Source, the threat from The Avatars. , the Seer’s vision of utopia and even the objections of a demon in his midst to his release.

In response to the then impending threat from the Avatar’s plan to create utopia and destroying all demons, a group of demons, in their desperation to seek a way to stop the Avatars, released Zankou from his prison. Zankou immediately began organizing the Underworld’s forces. He killed weaker demons, adding their powers to his own, and took every opportunity he could to learn all he could of the Charmed Ones.

Zankou’s exceeding intelligence, understanding of demonic and human psychology, and his capacity to sense when an enemy was vulnerable made him an exceptional strategist which is seen in the episode “Ordinary Witches” when Zankou attacked Piper and Phoebe whilst in the process of swapping powers so Piper could witness the Seer’s vision of the Avatar’s Utopia. Zankou’s attack resulted in Piper and Phoebe’s powers being sent into two near-by people.

Zankou has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
