He also wears fingerless gloves. In his undead form, he has grey skin and black hair with red eyes, he wears the same clothes as he would human but ripped.

## Backstory

Most of his past is shrouded in mystery. He was orphaned at the age of 12 after his parents passed due to unknown reasons, until he came across a village and was raised by a elder couple in the village, who treated him with kindness and love.

When he was 21, The Horde attacked the village, and Zalieus along with the other soldiers were called to help defend it. But even with his skills and the determination of his comrades, in the end, they were overpowered. As each of them fell, he watched as his new adopted parents were killed. Zalieus ran from the village, managing to survive. He ran for a long time, doing everything he could to get away. He was weak, tired, and cold, and as travelled across a mountain, he collapsed, near-dead. Suddenly, a figure had been streaking around the mountain, when he found a freezing Zalieus. He decided to bring him to his Airship that had landed on the mountain. There, he was healed. He then joined the Airship Crusaders, he trained hard and went up the ranks of the Crusaders, becoming a lieutenant, even managing to obtain an outpost to protect a platoon of soldiers.

## Skills

Zalieus is a very skilled Swordsman in hand-to-hand combat, he is also extremely brave and courageous. He often rushes into fights without knowing how strong the enemy is and usually tries to put up a good fight, only to be defeated right after if the enemy is stronger than him.

## Personality

He is Loyal only to the Airship Crusaders and to his friends, and will do anything to protect them. He is also shown to be very blunt, speaking his thoughts without a single bit of hesitation, even if it may be harmful.

## Relationships

### Lyra

Zalieus considers Lyra nothing but a helpless coward, whenever she suggests not to rush into things quickly during a fight he would often respond with a sarcastic saying. He thinks that Lyra is a waste of a swordsman and should just give up and find another job that suits her.

### Cobra

Cobra is a like a brother to Zalieus, as they've been a member of the Airships Crusaders for a long time, they met when they were younger. Zalieus finds Cobra very grown-up and probably the most mature out of the group.

### Amaya

Zalieus doesn't really have an opinion on Amaya, as he only see's her as a mere acquaintance. Although he does consider her mature like Cobra and knows how to deal with dire situations during fights.

### Fay

Considering Fay is Zalieus' girlfriend you'd think he's always had a good view on her? Well not exactly, when the two first met they didn't like each other like they do now. But as time went by, they grew closer and closer, and then they started dating.

#### Elite

Zalieus considers Elite a very close friend, he and Elite have been on several missions together and over the course of time they've gotten closer and closer friends.
