Physical Description
In his purest form, Orthodox is a black alicorn stallion with red eyes. He has multiple battle scars, and his mane and tail are a dark gray color. His horn is curved and purple, and his wings are black in the front, though they fade into red and eventually purple at their tips. His magic is colored a cosmic black.

Powers

 * Magic - Orthodox is skilled with many different forms of magic, and has shown magical ability beyond that of even the alicorn princesses.
 * Foresight - Orthodox does have the ability to see remnants of the future. Though it has not been seen so far, it has been confirmed by the author.
 * Longevity - Orthodox has lived for millennia, and according to many legends, is older than Equus itself. He has existed for long enough that he was able to persuade multiple of Equestria's villains falling under his influence, and directly caused the events that led to the Elements of Harmony coming in possession of the Mane Six.
 * Magical Mastery - Orthodox is a master of many different forms of magic and spellcasting, and has shown abilities that rival or perhaps proceed Twilight's skill. Due to his imprisonment however, only a fragment of his magic can actually influence events in Equus.
 * Spiritual Possession - Whenever the walls of his prison are weakened, Orthodox is able to speak through a vessel of his choosing. This was shown when he used Bray Blackheart as a vessel to prevent Twilight from ringing the Bell of Freedom. His options are limited to who he can possess however, as strong-minded beings like Twilight and Star Swirl are able to keep him from doing so.

Abilities

 * Flight - Orthodox can fly with his wings.
 * Intelligence - Orthodox is shown to be incredibly intelligent, having known that Twilight was worried about disappointing those around her. He was also able to figure out that Flash had confessed his love to Twilight even though he had not heard of this previously.
 * Manipulation - Orthodox has shown a tremendous skill for manipulation, and was able to convince many of Equestria's villains into following him out of their own free will. He was also able to convince Grogar that he would be rewarded for freeing Orthodox, even though he knew Orthodox seeked to destroy everything.

Weaknesses

 * Imprisonment - Orthodox is trapped in the Dark Netherworld, which causes him to have limited power in Equestria. He was banished there by his sister, Lady Eclipsa, and has been trying to escape ever since.

Trivia

 * Orthodox speaks with a British accent similar to that of the famous actor Tim Curry.
