Zachariah Heyfield

* Zachariah
* Wanted
* With Seline
* As a skull

> Zachariah Heyfield grew up with Seline at the Cathedral of the Mother in Bluepeak. Having spent his whole life at the Cathedral, Zachariah was intrigued by the strange new girl. They bonded quickly over a shared propensity for trouble. This started as pranks like arranging the coins in the fountain water into obscenities or phallic images, but as they grew into their teen years they started to leave those things behind in favor of a more intimate relationship. However it was not to be as Seline left Bluepeak to take up a life of wandering and left Zachariah behind. In adulthood, Zachariah would turn to a life of crime. Leading the infamous Red Tree Gang on a train robbing spree, he avoided arrest and execution for several years. When he was finally captured, he managed to talk his way right out of his cell.
