Zoë Castillo

Zoë Castillo (Seeker, Nomad, Dreamer) is the protagonist of Dreamfall. She looks for her ex-boyfriend, Reza Temiz, that has disappeared, and is sent to 'save' April Ryan on the way, discovering more mysteries in the process. Damien Cavanaugh's love interest. She is the owner of Wonkers the Watilla, whom she has had since she was four, and is a black belt in an unspecified martial art. At the beginning of the game, Zoe is lying in bed, deep in a coma. She begins narrating events beginning two weeks earlier, saying that all those who know the truth are either dead or have vanished off the face of the earth.
When Zoë  was 4 years old her mother died; Gabriel bought her Wonkers to provide some comfort in this time. She went to primary school in London. She was 10 years old when the Collapse occurred (2209). Her residential subsection was shut down for several days and Gabriel was anxious to protect her, so she did not witness much of the chaos.
Zoë later enrolled at Cape Town University, taking a Bioneering degree - "my beautiful and talented daughter following in my footsteps," as her father teases - with a steady boyfriend, the journalist Reza Temiz. But about five or six months ago she dropped out of university, broke up with Reza and moved back home, feeling a loss of direction and emptiness in her life but having nothing to fill it with. She spent most of her time going to the gym to train with Jama Mbaye, visiting her friend Olivia DeMarco, drinking coffee and taking long showers. As she told Reza, she had enough money to go wherever she wanted and do whatever she pleased, but there was nothing she wanted to do.
Zoë is a strong-minded and strong-willed young woman, who regrets some of the actions she is forced to take on her journey but fights for the greater good, both of humanity and to save Reza Temiz.
While Zoë lay in a coma, slowly fading away, her father, who was sitting by her bedside, was visited by Reza Temiz, apparently alive and well. But Zoe, watching unseen, tried to warn her father "that is not him". Just afterwards, Zoe appeared in the Storytime, greeted by the Vagabond. He said that she was welcome in the Storytime, and that she was a Dreamer. Saying they had little time, he asked Zoe to tell her story, to "begin at the beginning". Zoe began retelling the story she had just narrated, starting with: "My name is Zoe Castillo, and I think I might be dead."
