As a 23-year-old in Season 4, he is usually seen simply wearing an open blue-green-yellow-red patterned Hawaiian shirt with nothing under but a white tank-top and a pair of bright-blue swimming trunks. His hairstyle is pretty similar to the one in Season 2, but a bit messier and is swept to the left instead of the right. Mid-season, he receives a scar on his forehead and switches his style by chopping his hair off and is seen wearing an open tye-dye rainbow shirt with no extra shirt underneath, and dons a golden trident necklace.

Zachary is usually described as really calm and friendly by his friends. Not much is known about his background except that he was born in the US but moved to the UK to pursue his education in a boarding school at Cambright but after getting in a fistfight to protect a friend of his and nearly killing his opponent from his hard punches, he was registered in the *Willoughby Psychiatric Institution* for being “violent”. Eventually he got out after getting involved in an arson pulled by Kaleb and together with their friends, they went through many adventures together and discovered about the Greek world after an encounter with Skylla and Aurelia. During Season 2, he and his friends got captured by Duchess Ursule after she discovered about their godly ancestry, but were broken out by Kaleb and Alex Stamos where they were later on forced to flee the island after Poseidon drowned it as vengeance to Aurelia’s death.

## Events Of Criminal Case

### A Fatal Strike!

Kaleb and Austyn started searching for Yvette’s whereabouts, where they found a torn photo laying on the dance floor. The duo recovered the photo and saw that it was a selfie of Helena, and when they looked even closer they saw that Yvette was alone in the background, looking both sad and angry. Kaleb felt worried for Yvette and went immediately to speak to Helena and asked her whether she knows where Yvette is, pointing at the girl on her selfie’s background. Kaleb was furious when he heard from Helena that Yvette went up and decided to go to her room and confront her. When Yvette saw him enter her room, she got mad and asked him why didn’t he dance with her as he promised, where Kaleb told her that he only left her for a while to apologize to a friend of his and ended up having to solve a murder, apologizing to her for not being by her side. Curious, Kaleb then asked her why would she care so much if he danced with her or not, since there were many people in the party and many men who’d be kore than happy to dance with her. Yvette then blushed and told him that she doesn’t actually like dancing much, and only wanted to spend some time with him. Kaleb was shocked when he heard this, and with high hopes, asked her if there is a special reason why she wants to be with him, making Yvette reveal that she had developed feelings for him, feelings different from any of the suitors her parents forced her to court and dance with. Yvette then came closer to Kaleb and the latter leaned to her, giving each other a kiss, and would’ve done more if they were disturbed by a knock on the door. Kaleb hid, and Yvette went to check who it was and returned to Kaleb to tell him that Zachary wants to speak with him. Kaleb went to speak to Zachary who told him that Paris would like to speak with them, Yvette, Austyn, Maylin, Jennifer and Felicia after their done with the Clarabella issue. Zachary then returned to the party with Kaleb and Yvette.

### Middle Of Nowhere

After Jack and Sherlock found the body, a young man came to see what was going on, and was shocked when he saw the duo and even more shocked when he saw the dead, who he identified as Jeff Jefferson. The man welcomed the duo and introduced himself as Zachary Riley, and asked them how did they find the island. Zachary was not happy when he heard their story, as he was hoping they be some “other type” of people, whom the city could trust to keep its location a secret. Zachary then saw their badges, and realizing they are cops, he told them that if he was their place, he’d start to investigate the murder, since if the Queen or her brother, the city’s founder, her if the murder and learned of their presence, they wouldn’t hesitate to hold them accountable for it.

Mid-investigation, Zachary approached Jack and Sherlock, nervously, and told them they may have a little problem. Jack and Sherlock decided to talk to Zachary to see what problem they had, where he asked them whether anyone else saw them, other than Mary and Eric. When the duo shook their heads, Zachary told that somehow, the city’s founder, Kaleb Willoughby have heard about their presence and worse yet, the murder, and demands that he speaks to them. Before they go, Zachary advised them to be as polite as possible, as Kaleb is a bit bad-tempered.

Zachary turned out to be innocent. Sherlock and Jack went to speak to Kaleb, who was at the palace with the two co-founders of Graecita, Ismael Alajmi and Destiny O’Riordan. When Kaleb saw the duo, he approached them, thanking them for solving the murder and apologized for his behavior, telling them they are welcome to stay in Graecita anytime. Sherlock and Jack appreciated Kaleb’s offer, however, they really wanted to head back home and asked if they could borrow some ships for the passangers to get in. Kaleb sighed and told them that unfortunately they don’t have a ship big enough for all passengers and that they would need at least 5 of their biggest ships , and that the decision is not up to him, doubting that his sister, Queen Leonora would allow them to take that many. Suddenly, Leonora came to the throne room, and greeted the duo, welcoming them to the city, but after taking a further look at them, she sensed something she did not like. Leonora got so furious she started yelling at Kaleb for allowing “blind mortals” into the borders, and used terms including “demigods” and “mist-seekers”, which confused Jack and Sherlock. Leonora then turned her face to the duo and told them to leave the island immediately and never come back, and once Kaleb brought up the subject of the amount of ships needed, she told him to let them take as many as they need, she just doesn’t want “people of their kind” around her city, claiming it was bad enough they welcomed Ophelia and his sister. Sherlock and Jack then went to speak to Zachary to tell him about Leonora’s orders, and he offered to help them find the perfect ship, he just needs their help to find a booklet that showcases all the ships Graecita has, which he lost while examining Mary’s ship. The duo went there and found the booklet Zachary was talking about in pieces. After fixing it, they gave it to Zach who skimmed through the pages, and found exactly what the team needed.

### Mouth Wide Open

Kaleb and Zachary went to somewhere private for Zachary to repeat what he and the others were discussing to Kaleb. Zachary explained that although Paris is dead, he and the others still wish the asylum using Paris’ plan, and would like to know if he was in. Kaleb told Zachary that he is just as determined as him in getting out, however, none of them knew of Paris’ plot, which make Zachary and smirk and reveal that he knows where they could find it. Zachary told Kaleb that Paris told him last night, when they were getting back to their rooms that she had already prepared the escape plan during the party and that she will gather everyone at the waiting room to discuss it, making Zachary believe that she may have left clues of it there. The duo then went to the waiting room, where they found a leather jacket that looked a lot like something Paris would wear. Kaleb and Zachary then searched its pockets, where they managed to find a photo of an opening, enclosed with iron bars, with faded writing behind the photo. The duo then started recovering the writing behind the photo, and it shows the following “Secret pathway, in basement”. Zachary liked the plan, however, he still wondered how would they be able to get through the iron bars, where Kaleb gave him a smirk and told him that he knows how. Kaleb then explained that their is a workshop in the hospital near the kids’ room, and that they may be able to find tools that could help them in their escape.

### Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

While Zachary is looking through his bags, Kaleb tapped his shoulder leading to a shock for Zachary. Kaleb asked him if he was looking for something, where Zachary swore that he had bought tickets for their friends to visit the set of an upcoming Mr Sparkles movie, “The Princess of The Ocean” but he couldn’t find them in his bag. Kaleb thought and asked Zachary where he remembered last having them with him, where Zachary mentioned passing by the Dwarves’ hobbit hole, but can’t remembered exactly if he had them there or not. Kaleb and Zachary went to search there anyway, where they found their tickets torn off and after fixing them, they were now perfectly able to use them.

### Stringed Like A Puppet

After they had arrested the killer, Maylin and Kaleb were surprised when they crossed paths with Zachary and Austyn, who started sweating and told them that they’ll explain their presence. Wondering what brought Austyn and Zachary to the toy market, Maylin and Kaleb decided to question them, asking them why do they seem worried. Austyn and Zachary looked at each other and sighed, and explained that although Aurelia’s story seemed like a lie, the two felt that she may be telling the truth as they did find scales coming from her. After hearing that, Kaleb admitted that he also believes kind of believes Aurelia, but they only know one side of the story and those scales he and Jennifer found are not enough proof of her being a sea creature and if anything the costume designers working in Mr Sparkles’ Land could have use real fish scales for her tail. Zachary then replied to Kaleb by revealing that he and Austyn came to the toy market, in order to enter the plastic-toy factory, as they heard from eavesdropping on the staff that secret documents about Mr Sparkles’ Land are being hidden there and they hoped that by snooping through them they could learn more about the Aurelia situation, and then asked Kaleb if he would like to join in with them as his skills on finding stuff may come in handy. Kaleb sighed and agreed and so he and Maylin went with Austyn and Zachary to the factory and found a large case under the assembly line. After unlocking the case, the four started searching it and were horrified when they found a photo of a scared Aurelia in a fishing net. Disgusted, the four decided to confront Waldo over what they had found, where he chuckled over their “wild imagination”, and apologized for crushing their hopes but mermaids only exist in people’s imagination and what they found was probably just a behind the scene photo from the upcoming mermaid movie his studio are filming. Kaleb and the others were not sure if they should believe him or not, but for sake that they don’t get blacklisted from the park, they agreed to drop the Aurelia situation and focus on other things.

### Murder At The Lake House

After the killer was arrested, Zachary approached Kaleb, panicking, to tell him that he needs his help. Wondering what Zachary is panicking about, Kaleb went to check on him and asked him what is wrong. Zachary bit his lips and asked Kaleb if he saw any figurines around. Kaleb shrugged and asked him what figurines is he talking about where Zachary explained that he had volunteered to bake the cake for Austyn & Elli’s wedding, and decided that on the top of the cake he would put a figurine of the couple dressing like Adam & Eve. So he had asked their friend Pinocchio to make it for him, and send it to the lake house address and he did, however, Zachary appears to have lost it. Kaleb calmed Zachary and told him that he would help him find the figurines and the two started searching the lake house and after looking through a pile of cushions they found them but they were in pieces. Kaleb fixed up the figurine of Austyn & Elli and gave it ti Zachary who is now able to work on the cake.
