However, Grynewaht's fate is exactly the kind of thing you do with his character; making him ultra powerful at the cost of extracting his own free will (kind of like The Mountain from Game of Thrones), and basically turning him into a tool to be used by far more prominent antagonists. To say that Zenos is along the lines of this kind of one dimensional character I feel is a bit extreme. He most certainly can't get pushed around, and made to look a fool in front of his peers like Grynewaht. While I can admit that Zenos is not a vastly multidimensional character like Emet, I also can't submit to him being that bad, or that poorly written. Zenos does entertain me.
Not saying that Zenos is currently as simple of a character as Grynewaht, since Grynewaht was mostly just comedy-relief-turned-video-game-reference (Doomguy in Doma Castle), but I also wouldn't be surprised if Zenos ends up getting baited into becoming a pawn of Zodiark, considering how the story is currently progressing. This is due to the fact that his only objective is to become stronger so he can fight the WoL. His character needs a lot more depth to not eventually turn into a character that just keeps on coming back after getting defeated.
