Jean-Claude Sainteres VIII

## ZEC

**Jean-Claude Sainteres The Eighth**, better known as **Zec** (alternatively spelled **ZEC**), is the prince of the Jean-Claude Sainteres Nebula, Number 1 Royal Destructor of the Hyperdeath Corpse Pilers and the main antagonist of Meme Invasion. He's also an important figure in the life of Hugh Geaux, as they are childhood friends.

## Relationships

### Hugh Geaux

Zec and Hugh are very close childhood friends. He held a deep care for Hugh and told him that he would come back in 26 years, seemingly as a token of gratitude.

When Zec eventually returned, he still considered Hugh his closest friend, but acted in a very mocking way towards him. He disrupted Hugh's responsibilities in favor of his evil plans, and acted like he owned all of Hugh's property and employees. Despite this, it's shown that everything he did was to support Hugh in getting what he wanted, which was to kill the Hopeless Heroes.

### Mr. Geo

Zec seemingly doesn't care about Mr. Geo, and probably knows about the latter's fear of him. He downplayed his death when he heard about it. However, he did try to kill the Hopeless Heroes in retaliation, so it bothered him more than he let on.

### Ziklio the Rhapsodious

Ziklio is Zec's robotic servant, and thus the two have been close for a long time. Zec sees Ziklio as more of a tool rather than a friend, but he doesn't really like that he sees him that way. However Ziklio's suck-up attitude towards Zec constantly affirms the servant-master relationship.

### Black Fury

Black Fury was one of the only friends that Zec actually cared for, Zec was curious about BF's previous life, and they share an interest in looking back on sentimental memories.

### Singularity Row

Zec and Singularity Row are very casual with each other. SR is very honest and up front with Zec and gives him advice on being a leader, to which Zec puts on an act that he doesn't care about, which quickly fades as they agree to be honest with each other.

### Mysterious Secretary

Zec's secretary is the only thing he doesn't have control over, sometimes leading to his annoyance. Zec sees his secretary as a valuable asset to his team due to the fact that she handles all the factors Zec doesn't care about or is too dumb to do himself.

### Lozlo the Intricate

Lozlo and Zec aren't very close. Lozlo showers Zec in praise and worship, but has nothing interesting to say. Zec has nothing interesting to say back as a result.

### Neon Soda

Zec has known Neon Soda for a long time, and are very close. They frequently talk about deep topics, and Neon Soda's quiet morality acts as a direct contrast to Zec's loud sadism. Zec is confused and taken aback by Neon's question on why they are where they are, and feels betrayed when Neon Soda seemingly turns to the Hopeless Heroes for help out of his situation.

### Desolation Raider

Desolation Raider is confident enough to call Zec out on things, which shows how close they are. However, when it came time to fight the Hopeless Heroes, Zec beat him up and threw him off of Ultra HQ in a blind rage. Their relationship could be described as two friends who have indecipherable inside jokes and their expressions of friendship are just yelling at each other. Well, before...you know...Zec killing him.

### His Parents

Zec does not like his parents. History with them is a little complicated as it's hard to tell whether their neglect caused Zec to become a psychopath or if it was there from the start. Whatever the case, he resents his father for throwing him into prison and his mother for not sticking up for him. Zec likes to pretend he has daddy issues for attention like a scoundrel.

## History

Jean-Claude Sainteres VIII was a rare case where babies of his species mature slowly, so his parents sent him to a random planet because he was just that uncontrollable. The planet the young terror was sent to was Art World, where he met a 5 year old Hugh Geaux, who would give him the nickname "Zec".

Hugh and Zec would become close friends, and Zec would share his power with Hugh, creating a psychic link between the two and imbuing Hugh with his power of Technopathy. Together, they were able to build Zec a rocket that would take him home. Zec promised that he would come back and see Hugh in 26 years.

As Zec grew up, he continued to act immaturely, and his parents had no idea how to deal with him. Denied his own biodroid servant, he made one himself.

At some point in time, he visited Primus and bought his own Codex with his parents' supply of Cygnus Andromeda Power Rush. His parents were not happy about that, to say the least.

Later in his life, Zec stole and modified the largest Ionite space cruiser into a battleship and attacked Planet Ziricon. His attack caused the near extinction of the Voidren race and left the planet uninhabitable in his wake. Zec was tried for his crime of stealing and illegally modifying a space cruiser and using it to destroy a planet. He was sentenced to exile in Void Void Space Prison, where he then broke out with his robot servant, the single Voidren survivor, who was labeled an accomplice to the destruction of Ziricon, and a few other inmates. They became the Hyperdeath Corpse Pilers

## Trivia

* Zec is based on Fu from No More Heroes 3. You can stop asking now.
