***"Until the storm settles, our journey is still ahead" - Private Zigard (S4.EP5)***

**Overview**

**Private Zigard** is played by Z.F. a Canadian actor who only has SOTNF as a title he has worked on. Private Zigard is well-received by many fans as he went through his journey to reconnect with past to forge a new beginning for himself, this was known as the famous "Run from Home" ark, still talked about by many to this day.

As a character with a less than fortunate past, for seasons 4 - 5, Zigard makes his way through the world through trial and error, learning how to survive on his own, until he meets some companions along the way, some from previous seasons, and some new faces. Most notably, taking the reigns of the show from his mentor, Annie later in the season, fans could see the next generation of SOTNF blossom into greatness of its predecessor.

**Season Four**

An interesting season as it goes along with an adjacent season four starring Annie, the two characters meet up at the end of Annie's season four and the beginning of Zigard's. Although confusing at first, both seasons conclude the amazing journey of the original cast while beginning the new story of SOTNF. Zigard's season is, at first, filled with tragedy and fear, though throughout, the meeting of characters and receiving of Silver Whisper start Ziagrd's personal reflection. This ultimately leads to some noteworthy battles, the hijacking of a ship, and the accidental explosion of a cafe.
