## Biography

### Creation

In the year 2005, a meteor of unknown origin landed on Earth, landing on an island in the Pacific Ocean that Dr. Albert Wily was using as his covert lab. Wily discovered that the meteor was made of an unknown metal and contained a type of black and green smoke-like substance. Dr. Wily used the substance to create a new type of energy, which he then used to power his robots and death-machines in his war with Mega Man. Eventually, after his defeat, he decided to use the meteor itself to create a new robot. He made a control template for what he described to be as his "masterpiece", the template was named Dynamo. Dr. Wily pushed his mind to its limit, pouring his heart and soul into creating the ultimate robot to challenge Mega Man and bring about his plans for world domination, and a computer virus, that the robot would be patient 0 for, based off the smoke-like substance that would turn any robot to violence. And thus, Zero was born.

### Zero the Prototype

After Zero's creation, Mega Man caught wind of Dr. Wily's plans, seeking to end his schemes once and for all. Mega Man fought through Wily's laboratory, eventually finding himself face to face with Zero. Mega Man, a veteran of countless battles with the Wily Empire's machines, possessing countless abilities, weapons, and skills, was outmatched by Zero. He was nearly defeated, were it not for a power short in Zero's control chip.

Dr. Wily took Zero into the depths of the Black Forest in Germany, having come up with a different plan. Dr. Wily was dying of illness and old age, and wanted to be absolutely sure that Zero would not fail. So, he placed Zero in stasis, running diagnostic tests and combat simulations on him until he was perfect. This process would take around 30 years, so Dr. Wily knew he most likely would not be able to live long enough to see Zero's grand unveiling. Zero, instead of being tested for 30 years, sat in his stasis pod for 100 years.

In the year 2108, the computer Virus in Zero's stasis pod began leaking out. Due to it being based off the strange smoke substance, it was able to travel into the nearby forest, infecting the machines that now inhabited them, creating the first Mavericks. Eventually, a group of Reploids known as the Maverick Hunters located this lab, entering it in order to find the root of the problem. They found Zero in his stasis pod and decided to awaken him. Upon his activation, Zero killed the entire Maverick Hunter team without mercy. After the team was slaughtered, a special Maverick Hunter by the name of Sigma was called in to terminate Zero. Sigma and Zero engaged in combat. Sigma was able to keep up with Zero at first but was unable to even catch his breath due to Zero's unrelenting attacks. Zero managed to get the upper hand and took off one of Sigma's arms. As he stood before Sigma, about to kill him, his control-chip shorted again, Giving Sigma enough time to land a knock-out blow to Zero's face.

Sigma carried Zero out of the forest, taking him back to the Maverick Hunter headquarters in Mega City. Zero was seemingly cured of the virus that caused his violence. It was here that Zero met Mega Man X, another android with a similarly obscure origin. Sigma, on the other hand, was infected by the virus. The evolved and morphed around Sigma, recreating itself as the Sigma Virus in his own image. Zero was one of the first to notice Sigma's strange new nature but was unable to intervene before Sigma declared war on humanity, formally unifying the Maverick cells into one united horde. Zero and X were called to action in order to fight Sigma and his Maverick menace.

### Zero the Maverick Hunter

#### The First Maverick War

Zero fought during the Maverick wars of 2108. He became the captain of special Hunter squad 17, alongside the likes of Web Spider and Magma Dragoon. He was present for the first Maverick attack on humanity, along the highway out of Mega City. It was there that he rescued X from Vile, starting a king and brutal rivalry between the two.

After the discovery of Sigma’s fortress, Zero and X made their own way into the stronghold, fighting through hordes of Mavericks. They encountered Vile again, this time in an upgraded armor suit. Zero sacrificed himself by detonating his power core on top of Vile’s armor, giving X enough time to defeat Vile. Zero, however, did not survive and died of his wounds soon after.

#### The X-Hunter conflict

X was able to recover Zero’s control chip from the fortress before he defeated Sigma. However, due to Dr. Wily’s complex engineering, Zero’s body was unable to be replicated. A year later, a group of Mavericks by the name of the X-Hunters came out of hiding, proclaiming themselves as the new leaders of the Maverick Horde. They announced that they have Zero’s parts, and that X would have to fight them to get his friend back.

X recovered all of Zero’s parts, and he was rebuilt at the Maverick Hunter headquarters, just in time for the Hunters to find the new Maverick headquarters in Antarctica. Zero joined X in the raid on the fortress, destroying a cheap clone of himself that the X-Hunters cobbled together out of spare parts. He told X to go after Sigma while he finished clearing out the base. X and Zero both made it out of the fortress unscathed.

#### The Repliforce War

Behind the scenes, Zero had grown close to another Reploid by the name of Iris. She was an advisor for the isolationist machine-state of Repliforce, which often worked with the Maverick Hunters on missions against any Maverick cells.
