**Zaios IX Aynokion** is the third child and oldest son between Aretias Aynokion and Atena Robigo, and is the younger brother of Roxanne and Atena but is also the older brother of Theseus. He has four half-sisters and four half-brothers through his father.

He is the father of Aretias, Romulos, Roxanne, Zaios, Revan, Rema and Sepher; his eldest three children are from Vidalia Soya whereas his youngest four children are from Delphyni Lua Gorgonio.

## Personality

Zai is also ambitious, highly intelligent young man with an *Octavian* sense of sight for his family and for the people they govern over. Highly intelligent and well read, Zai is a young man whose formidable strategic acuity distinguishes him from others, even among the upper classes. His astute understanding of those around makes him observant and lethally sharp in guessing the motives and intent of others.

Despite being a Aynokion, Zaios is shown to be very kind and caring towards others, preferring to have things sorted out through talking instead of fighting. He also has a very laid-back personality, preferring to do things at his own pace. Humorously, when he's up to his usual antics, the mere mention of his wife's name is enough to make him apologize immediately. However, Zaios does have a serious side.

Despite being raised in a monotheist society, Zai is an atheist and while he understands tradition and why the gods have their purpose, the take's comfort that in the end the only people that will judge him is when his ashes are flung in their faces.

## Appearance

Zaios has a heart-shaped face with high, sharp cheekbones, a long neck, and his nose projected a little at the top and then bent ever so slightly inward. He has platinum blonde hair that is a mixer of gold and silver and intensely colored eyes and in his case, he has a rare mutation in which his eyes are the color of mulberry, a purplish red and like all Vanerian's has a ring around his iris that is gold and another one around it that is black.

Zaios is considered more handsome than his half-brothers Aretias and Elyan. Zai is considered of average height, with a lanky build and having very little muscle and possesses very little physical strength according to Delphyni.
