Zaiden Rockwell

Zaiden was born in San Myshuno to parents Makayla Marcus and Grady Rockwell. Makayla married Grady but his criminal nature became too problematic and the couple divorced. Zaiden was mainly raised by Makayla and her family.
== Moving to StrangerVille ==
When he was a teenager, Makayla decided to take him to StrangerVille for a fresh start. Zaiden's cousin Brad also accompanied them. They moved into a small house with the Gould family. Zaiden caught feelings for Monica Gould, but his jealous sister Wanda interfered. Ultimately, Zaiden chose Monica and helped her through her grief in the aftermath of her mother's fiery death. Monica's father Desmond then abandoned his children due to his inability to deal with his grief. Zaiden had a strange experience in which he was drugged but his memories failed him. Suddenly, Wanda left StrangerVille for a new husband.
== Starting A Family ==
Zaiden and Monica decided to marry and Monica gave birth to Marcia Rockwell, as Makayla's affair with Derumk Turei was revealed and she gave birth to Zaiden's half-brother Kale. Some years later, Monica gave birth to Ethan. Brad moved out with new wife Nataly Pfeiffer.
== Reuniting With Grady ==
When Grady reached out, Zaiden wanted to go visit him but Makayla argued against it. Eventually, she allowed it and Zaiden, Ethan and Monica travelled back to StrangerVille while Marcia stayed to continue with her studies. Zaiden developed a strong bond with his paternal family and was saddened when they passed away, especially when Grady died of old age. Zaiden and Monica decided there was nothing for them in San Myshuno so went back to StrangerVille, although Ethan decided to stay due to his newfound love for Alisha Hatcher.
== Life Goes On in StrangerVille ==
Zaiden was suspicious when Kale married Eileen Brooks, who was from a deceptive family. Eileen then gave birth to Zaiden's nephew Nestor Marcus. Zaiden was thrilled but surprised when Ethan bred two new children from different mothers, Armando and Porter. Zaiden reached out to Brad when Nataly divorced him. Zaiden then met his new step-brother Wesley Turei, who he had feuds with at first but eventually befriended. Zaiden was devastated when Makayla died of old age and only then realised how much she had went through to protect him, despite her minor flaws.
== A Long-Lost Daughter ==
Zaiden's life was changed when Wanda's daughter Mercedes Goth revealed she was biologically Zaiden's daughter. Wanda accused him of infidelity, which heavily tested Monica and Zaiden's trust. However, it later transpired that Wanda had drugged Zaiden and made herself pregnant before immediately regretting the decision and leaving StrangerVille. Zaiden reached out to Mercedes and offered her to move in with him but she denied and moved to Brindleton Bay instead. Zaiden maintained a close relationship with Kale and a strong marriage with Monica. He lived the remainder of his life happy and in love, eventually dying of old age surrounded by his family.
