== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
The son of cruel and controversial overlord Zinrej, Zinyak was born into a world filled with destruction and war with a society on the brink of collapse. He secretly studied the culture of his people and self taught himself how to rule his planet so he was prepared when the time come to overthrow his father.
When the time was right, Zinyak murdered his father. But Zinrej didn't go down without a fight but Zinyak was the one victorious in the end. Zinyak's immediate course of action was to kill or detain all wardens planetwide which was done relatively soon. Over the next three years, Zinyak helped his race rise from the ashes and turmoil of Zinrej's destruction but the entire population wasn't enough to undo what his father had done.
By 1969, the zin achieved advanced spaceflight. Zinyak saw this as an opportunity to use other races to help rebuild his homeworld. Zinyak and his fleet departed and travelled the galaxy, conquering many planets and placing their inhabitants into his simulation network, breaking them mentally and turning them into hard labor force and returning them to his homeworld to help rebuild. During this time, he began studying human poetry and saw humanity's constructional achievements over the millennia, seeing them as viable resources to help rebuild, he also fell in love with human poetry.
Zinyak initiated his invasion of Earth in 1999. However, the invasion was unsuccessful as the humans fought off his army and severely damaged his fleet, sustaining major damage, he ordered the armada to retreat but it was attacked by L.E.G.I.O.N.
The onslaught resulted in an 85% loss to the Zin fleet and there was only a handful of survivors. What remained of the fleet was later attacked by L.E.G.I.O.N. again on Devil's Night, 38 years after their first attack. Zinyak and the surviving Zin were captured and held prisoner at L.E.G.I.O.N. headquarters.
Zinyak was taken to the Morningstar himself and told that in order for his race to survive, he would have to serve L.E.G.I.O.N. However, because of his powerful nature as an alien emperor and warlord, he is kept under watchful eyes and is often reminded of his place by Doctor Babylon so he doesn't fall out of line. To make sure of this, the Minister of Lust uses Zinyak's minions, including his faithful, loyal servant Zinjai as collateral, threatening to kill some each time he falls out of line, fails or attempts to betray L.E.G.I.O.N.
== Personality ==
Zinyak was the proud leader of the massive, ever-expanding Zin Empire. Upon researching other planets, he fell in love with human poetry, thus, sparking his need to travel to Earth and collect unique people of said race. However, he never got the chance to travel back in time and capture Jane Austen, William Shakespeare and others as his invasion never went to plan.
Upon his fleet being nearly destroyed by the human military and L.E.G.I.O.N., his priorities drastically shifted to ensuring the survival of any survivors and his race, worried that once the last of his fleet is wiped out, whenever that may be, humans will somehow travel to the countless planets he conquered and kill off his species.
Upon joining L.E.G.I.O.N., he is hesitant at the orders he is given, greatly fearing what the humans are now capable of because of their evolution in strength, intelligence, speed, agility and technological advancement beyond even the technology it originated from-that of his species. Despite being reluctant in taking innocent human lives, he does it with a heavy heart and out of desperation to ensure the survival of his people.
== Appearance ==
Zinyak is extremely tall, outright exceeding every other character including Killbane, Steeltoe and the Morningstar. He has small spikes protruding from his body and has three long fingers on each hand. He stands out amongst the rest of his kind because of his height, strength, intellect and armor, which is similar to that of his troops but he had large, grey gauntlets on both his lower arms with built in controls allowing him to activate all sorts of systems and teleport himself and others to almost any location he desires both inside and outside simulations. His rank can be easily distinguished by his height (obviously) and small, red sash hanging down the back left of his suit.
