Angry Birds Epic: Uprising
Lord Sinensis was once the benevolent ruler of the Citreans' home planet, but the planet eventually started dying. Acting quickly, Sinensis ordered everyone to hop aboard the ship and leave the planet. They eventually discovered Piggy Planet, and just to happened to land on a desert, where they built civilization. Sinensis eventually learned of the Aether Star; an artifact with unlimited power. Wanting better living conditions for his people, Sinensis sought after the Aether Star. However, it was guarded by a society of ancient pigs, preventing him from obtaining it. In an act of desperation, Sinensis declared war on the ancient pigs. When Sinensis discovered that his wife and daughters were accidentally killed in the war, he became struck with grief. This eventually lead him to become more tyrannical, power-hungry, and insane. He would stop at nothing to acquire the Aether Star. The ancient pigs split the Aether Star into twelve pieces, creating the Eternal Stars.

This was until the Mighty creatures rose up, and sealed him away to another realm, and the Citrean Army would go on without a leader for one thousand years. Before he was sealed away, Sinensis casted one final spell on the pigs, causing them to have a craving for bird eggs. One thousand years later, he was revived by Chef Cochon, who convinced him to form an alliance, and told him about the Angry Birds. He then reformed his army and determined himself to seek revenge on the Angry Birds, as they are affiliated with the Mighty Creatures. He then took over King Pig's Castle.

Trivia

 * He is named after the orange's scientific name; Citrus × sinensis.
 * Since he is the reason why the pigs became hungry for eggs, he is the overarching antagonist of the entire franchise.
 * Because he is the leader of the main antagonistic faction and is featured in more promotional material than Chef Cochon, Lord Sinensis is often mistakenly thought to be the main antagonist. Chef Cochon is the actual main antagonist because of his plans to betray and kill Lord Sinensis, and is ultimately the final boss. Plus, if Chef Cochon hadn't revived Lord Sinensis, none of the game's events would have happened. He is the central antagonist, as he drives most of the plot and has more screentime than Chef Cochon.
