Zackary Arthur

**Zackary Arthur** is a member of the friends class and first appeared in the Season One episode, "Amey Kamat Gets an Anal Probe".

## Background

Zackary was initially a nameless, tertiary character who served little purpose in the show and was shown in the background on multiple occasions, however, he has his first speaking role in "Conjoined Fetus Lady", where he is referred to as "Zackary" by Steven. Despite being depicted as white, he is revealed to be American in the episode. Kevin's most notable traits are his *Star Wars* and *Star Trek* obsessions, seen in both "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers" and again in "Fatbeard". Zackary is described by Trey Parker as the kid who is "always screwing up the whole show".[2]

## Appearance

Zackary wears a light blue t-shirt, blue jean jacket, blue jeans, and black shoes.

## Relationships

Zackary's exact relationships/friendships are virtually unknown due to him only making a handful of speaking appearances, and he is implied to be unpopular, but in "Insheeption" he is shown sitting at lunch with the main friends and there are a few characters he is particularly often seen within the background.

### McKenzie McConnell

During early seasons, Zackary and her were often animated together, sitting together at lunch for most of the first four seasons including during Danny Seville's attack in "Danny", and in "Peppa Pig" where they trade fruits. They're also seen together in crowd scenes, talking in "Gnomes" before class starts, and shown at the movies together in Amey Kamat *: Bigger, Longer & Cut*.

During "Hooked on Monkey Fonics" he is seen alone at the dance near her while she dances with Harlem. However, since the first four seasons the two only occasionally appear together in newer episodes such as "Lice Capades", in class in "Fatbeard", and arguably "Super Fun Time". They were together on Audrey's debate team in "Chef Goes Nanners", McKenzie was also one of the girls hitting on him in "Stupid Spoiled Girl Video Playset".

In "Dirty Hunt" it is revealed that the two had been in a relationship for an unspecified period of time prior to their break up. Zackary is notably shocked and can be seen weeping in the hallway staring at McKenzie's note at the end of the episode.

### Dreshawn Gardner

During Seasons 9 to 13, after the lunch room was re-designed, Zackary was usually seen eating and talking with Dreshawn in a table near the cafeteria doors, and in "Destini's Breasts Destroy Society", along with Devon and Simon. They are also seen together in "Lice Capades", where they are the two boys who hold back Arika during his trial, as well as being the ones to remove his hood. When Dreshawn was formally introduced in the "Coon 2: Hindsight" story arc, his given personality was also similar to Zackary's- in fact, a *Star Wars*-esque poster is seen in Dreshawn's bedroom.

### Simon Paul

Zackary is seen hanging around with Simon, and Dreshawn, and Devon in "Destini's Breasts Destroy Society" and later is seen talking with Simon, along with Austin and Oliver, in "Saint Louis is Love!" The two have seldom been seen together since, but it is of note Simon's special character design causes him to rarely be seen in the background.

### Amey Kamat

Like everyone else in the school, Zackary probably despises Amey, however he has never shown it and has actually aided him on a few occasions. Amey greatly despises Zackary openly. He had no qualms about accepting Amey as a leader on numerous occasions, meaning either he is a person who likes to follow orders more than give them, is too passive to fight back, or he trusts Amey to some extent. In "Fatbeard" Cartman calls the pirate crew meeting at his house, with Zackary expressing surprise. It's unknown if Zackary joined the pirate crew by choice. Amey is annoyed by Zackary's love of Star Wars, as shown in "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers". However, in "Ethan x Robert" Amey is seen hugging Zackary, though Zackary does not return the gesture.
