fzoul chembryl WAS the leader of the zhentarim, but was killed by the shadowvar shortly after the spellplague. this allowed the next most influential member of the zhentarim to take control. this new leader is a clone of manhoon, named orbakh, who was "awakened" upon the death of the original manhoon. since the original and all other clones are now dead, orbakh assumed the name of manhoon, and has been leading the zhentarim since.
edit: noticed i misspelled original, lol. dont want the spelling and grammer nuts to clutter thread
A vampiric clone of Manshoon, formerly known as Orbakh.

Fzoul Chembryl
The Zhentarim followed a strict linear hierarchy with Fzoul Chembryl at the head of the organization. He had several subordinates that reported directly to him. Each of those "Lords" had many underlings that handled reports and requests. The Zhentarim did not typically skip ranks in the hierarchy. The only exception to this rule was Manshoon who had permission to use any of the resources of the Zhents as he saw fit. Here is a short list of major figures at this time.
Fzoul Chembryl - High Lord of the Zhentarim
◾Scyllua Darkhope - Castellan of Zhentil Keep
◾Lord Kandar Milinal - Lord of the Citadel of the Raven
◾Manshoon - Autonomous
◾Selfaril Uoumdolphin - High Blade of Mulmaster
◾Bourstag Hlammythyl - Bron of Voonlar
◾Darik Berkstan - Leader of the "protectorate of Yulash
◾Zerana Hellesk - Military leader of Teshwave
◾Teldorn Darkhope - Lord of Minitar
◾The Pereghost - Commander of Darkhold
◾Dhamir Ercals - Coleader of Darkhold
◾Kara Chermosk - Leader of the Tethyamar Fortress
◾Verblen - Slave Lord of Zhentil Keep
◾Angus Materi - Captain of the Outriders of Darkhold
◾Captain Cvaal Daoran - Leader of the Brothers of the Black Fist
◾Mara Kalaliv - Leads the Order of the Iron Gauntlet
◾Xulla - Caravan Lord of the Zhentarim
Founded in 1261 DR in Zhentil Keep by Manshoon, the Zhentarim were originally created for Manshoon's ambitions for expansion. Fzoul Chembryl joined in 1263 DR and was able to dispose of the high ranking priests and convert low ranking priests to the cause of Bane. In the organization's first thirty years, they were able to assemble mages dubbed the Blackcloaks. Manshoon would offset the possible threat of Fzoul by concocting a plan with the beholder Xantriph. The two would have the Banite priests swear fealty to Manshoon and confess to their sins. Xantriph's lair, found in what used to be Teshendale, became a base for Zhentilar patrols. It was around this time that the Zhentarim would finally begin to live up to their original purpose.
Manshoon's first order of business would be capturing the Citadel of the Raven, which lost him the chance to get the city of Phlan. The citadel would end up garnering much wealth for Manshoon and bring him to economic superiority. Manshoon would follow this up by having the Zhentarim contribute to the army that attacked Mulmaster. In order to enter the Western Heartlands, Manshoon would seize the fortress of Darkhold from a lich queen.
Their successes with the Citadel of the Raven and Darkhold would be followed up by attacks on Teshendale and Hillsfar, giving them the entire Tesh Valley and Voonlar. They would then place their own rulers in Daggerdale and Shadowdale, allowing Manshoon to consoldiate his rule all over Zhent lands and ofroces in 1337 DR by delcaring himself the High Lord of Zhyentil Keep. Their actions caused their neighbors to grow weary of them.
In the months following, Jyordhan, puppet ruler of Shadowdale would be assassinated by Khelben Arunsun, Xantriph killed by the Knights of Myth Drannor and Malyk, puppet ruler of Daggerdale was overthrown by Randal Morn. Manshoon would end up betraying his allies in the Citadel of the Raven and take it over by sheer force and place Kandar Milinal charge. This would eventually lead to the Zhent city of Y
