Zach Horton, also known as Officer Zach in Day Shift With 16, was a police corporal in the Tucson Police Department. In Salvation, he belongs to his own gang called the Ordermen. He was born on the 19th of January, 1972.

## Background

In 1990, Zach had been studying at a police academy in Arizona, Tucson. He has landed himself a pristine job as a police corporal at the Tucson Police Department with a quite good pay grade due to learning a lot and quite easily.

He has always stood by his morals and will not let go of a case until it is 100% done, no matter the cost, and often in disregard to his own safety.

## Day Shift With 16

Zach appears as a police officer to arrest the player if they commit crimes such as shooting at children, robbing the prize corner or murdering Phone Man.

## Salvation

Zach has formed a gang of other ex-police officers to establish law and order in the wastelands that is the taken-over United States of America. It's mainly a small gang under the radar, so not a lot of people know about it. Those that do know about it, however, think that they're either operatives due to the modern equipment they carry or rebels due to the fact that they fight with raiders a lot - which barely happens with operatives.

## Relationships

### Day Shift With 16

On Tuesday, Zach had been looking for the killer of the five kids that have been killed in the safe room. He had established multiple leads, including camera footage, and concurred that it was likely Dave who did it. However, by the time the police found out where Dave lived, he had already escaped. Zach has been looking for Dave for a good while, but still has not found him.

If the player helped Dave kill the kids, then Zach figures out that there was someone else helping. However, he is unable to find out who, because the player was wearing a springlock suit.

Zach doesn't really like Phone Man's down-to-earth attitude, considering that there have been five kids murdered in the restaurant. Unfortunately, Zach can't do much about it.

Zach has talked to Reid on a few occasions to get leads on the case, and did find out on Wednesday that he got "coerced" by Dave into yiffing the fox.

### Salvation

Zach hasn't met Reid, Dave or 16 yet, but he is looking for them.

He is looking for 16 and Reid to get more information on Dave. He doesn't know that they are in the rebellion with Dave.

He is looking for Dave to deliver punishment, as he feels that no crime should go unpunished, especially against defenseless people like children.

Zach has been in a few skirmishes with raiders and has never lost once.

He has not met the operatives, but has heard stories of Vlad blowing up their main base. He has no stance on the situation, as he does not know the full story yet. But after he finds out the full story, he will pursue either side.

## Trivia

* Zach likes to say one-liners, as they are intimidating.
	+ One in particular that he likes is "I am the law."
* He also liked to joke about with his co-workers a lot and is mostly down-to-earth.
