## Appearances

### Finale

Lijos II (physical)
Credits II (mentioned)

Zian is a male teenage wandering trader who learned some basic magic. He is said to be a fairly strong wizard, but a very weak fighter. He becomes close friends with his cousin Dabsar, his sister Chappal and his friend Ezen during their stay in the Town of Terrors. However, they are eventually kicked out and forced to survive on their own.

Throughout the map, Zian is very supportive to his sister and cousin as well as his friend. He is said to be the most compassionate of the players, but also the most absent-minded. Throughout the map, it is clear he isn't telling everything, and by Lijos II it is finally revealed that Zian was, indeed, an apprentice of Ezmio the Powerful Sorcerer.

He is one of the playable characters of the series, being a background character of Ancient Wizarding World and one of three playable characters of The Tree of Life.

## History

### Past

Much of Zian's past is left unknown; however, it is known that he was once the apprentice of the great sorcerer Ezmio, and that he helped Ezmio in his quest. However, Zian vanished after that, only reappearing hundreds of years later in the Town of Terrors alongside his cousin and sister.

### The Tree of Life, Book 1

#### The Beginning

One fateful day however, the sheriff of the village summoned them, and told them that a group of monsters had attacked the village, which confuses Dabsar and his cousins, as he worked on the inventions himself, and they never failed (except for the one time where Zian ate his airplane). The sheriff tells them that he thinks a spy is in the village, who let the monsters in the village. He then points to Ezen, accusing him of this. Despite Ezen's efforts to declare himself innocent, with help from his friends, the sheriff sentences him to death. Zian is prepared to fight the policeman and sheriff, so the sheriff puts them all in jail and sentences them to death by beheading.

Ezen is placed in such a position that he cannot teleport them out. However, they find a way to manipulate the bricks, and Ezen is able to teleport. He leaves to find a safe place to teleport them to, and eventually succeeds, taking them there.

Once they reach, Ezen informs them all that there is a wither at the edge of the plains, which shocks them. Ezen decides to investigate and find a way to potentially move past the wither, to which the others agree to. Meanwhile, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian move across the plains. Once they reach the other side, Ezen tells them that the wither will be nearly impossible to avoid, as it is out in the open, and any sudden move will alert it. Ezen tries to teleport them across, but fails to. Chappal suggests taking a fight to it, which Zian very vocally opposes.

The wither suddenly comes out of his lair, and tells them that they were fools to enter his lair. He decides to eat them. Reluctantly, they decide to take a fight to it (hoping they won't die). To everyone's shock, they succeed in defeating the wither and he reluctantly leaves, warning them that he'll come for revenge. Ezen sees something in the hill, and goes there to investigate. Dabsar, Chappal and Zian follow him, and they realize that it's a Tree of Life piece, which shocks them. Ezen tells them that with it, they could potentially restore all of Lijos after the Order of Magma War did so much damage to it. Chappal remarks that they should leave before more monsters show up.

In impeccable timing, Zoe, a zombie arrives, but she is a friendly one. She offers them hospitality in the Land of Xora, a neighboring land to the Outskirts of Lijos. Dabsar is quick to accept this, but Ezen is reluctant, saying that there's no reason why she should be trusted. Chappal persuades him to do so anyway, telling him that they have nowhere else to go. Ezen reluctantly agrees.

#### The Base

Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Ezen eventually arrive in the Land of Xora, with Zoe welcoming them. Chappal, Dabsar and Zian greatly love the land, while Ezen is still slightly distrusting. Zoe expresses that she understands why he's distrusting, as endermen were, after all, banished to their own dimension many years ago, which would definitely cause somewhat distrust in all endermen. Ezen responds that if using endermen as a standard, he was definitely among the most trusting. Zoe tells them that to stay in the land, they should go seek reception from Cutie and Mmea, so they all go in order to do that.

Once they reach the tallest mountain in the land, they meet Cutie and Mmea. Cutie and Mmea inform them that the land they're in, the Land of Xora, was the origin home of the Tree of Life, and that they can rebuild the tree here if they were to find all the pieces throughout the lands. Ezen, Dabsar Chappal and Zian are quick to agree with this; however, Mmea informs them that the first few pieces are in the Woods of Woe, and as such it is a bad idea for Ezen to go there, as they were not open to ideas such as friendly monsters. Reluctantly, Ezen agrees to stay behind while Chappal, Zian and Dabsar go to Lijos.

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian eventually reach the great land of Lijos. Zian is slightly remorseful that they had to leave Ezen behind. He tries to hide this, but Chappal and Dabsar, being his, well, cousins, are able to quickly see this, and ask why, and so Zian explains. They respond that it's better that he stays behind a bit more than get executed, like he almost was in the Town of Terrors. Reluctantly, Zian agrees, though it is clear he's still remorseful.

#### The Humans

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian eventually reach the Woods of Woe. Upon entering, they are caught and questioned by Sven and Guard and are threatened to be killed if they don't explain themselves. Reluctantly, Chappal explains that they are here to restore the Tree of Life. Sven responds that they will need a stronger pickaxe if they are to go in the outskirts of the village, which is where the pieces are. He gives them a stronger pickaxe and tells them to be careful.

They eventually reach a hill in which they meet the Minigame Manager. The manager greets them, and asks them if they're new here, which Dabsar responds to be saying that they're just passing through. The manager offers to give them a bow, stronger than the one they have, if they can do his parkour. They do so, and gain the bow.

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian head to one of the outskirts of the village, and reach the Summer Stream. As they begin to take in their surroundings, Zian suddenly notices two creepers. They hide behind a tree, but Chappal suggests eavesdropping in case what they're saying is important. They hear one of the creepers retiring from the Order of Magma, with the other insisting they don't. Before they can hear more, the creepers leave. This leaves them all confused. Dabsar simply sees it as sibling drama (saying that Chappal and Zian probably know all about it), while Zian is concerned, saying that they mentioned the Order of Magma, but also happy because one of them left it, showing they're at least to some degree a friendly monster. They brush it off and continue moving on.

Eventually, they encounter Bob, who is on top of the tallest hill in the land. He asks them if they can help him with something, which is to help him prepare dinner. They do so. As a thank you, he gives them the Tree of Life piece as well as the key to the Caverns of Woe, and they leave to go to that place.

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian go through the caverns, and look thoroughly for Tree of Life pieces. Once they reach the bottom however, they encounter the notorious Coo Coo. Coo Coo greets them and horrifies them. While she talks to them for a bit, she eventually drops the ball that Chappal was in fact once upon a time part of the demons, which shocks Dabsar and Zian. Coo Coo then challenges them to a parkour, telling them that it's the only way they'll get the Tree of Life. Once they complete the parkour, Coo Coo grudgingly gives them the piece.

Once they reach the Woods of Woe again, Chappal tries to divert their attention from the reveal, but it doesn't work, and Dabsar demands an explanation. Chappal explains that what Coo Coo said is correct. Dabsar is upset, not because she was her friend, but because she hid it from her, and said that she was acting like Ezen, hiding important things from them because she distrusted them. Zian interrupted, saying that Ezen had valid reasons to hide, while Chappal argued that she did too. The three bicker until the Elder arrives, and asks them to help with their Arachne crisis, telling them that she invaded the village for nearly half a century. While they are hesitant at first, Zian convinces to do so, and so they start getting ready to enter the Dark Forest with help from Sven and Guard.

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian eventually enter the Dark Forest alongside Sven and Guard. Sven expresses his hesitance with this plan, saying they'd tried on multiple occasions to overthrow Arachne and had failed each time. Chappal reminds them that they have help now. Sven agrees to help them, but warns them that should any inconvenient circumstances, including if they were eaten by Arachne, occur, that they would be the ones responsible.

Despite searching the entire forest for a while, they find no sign of the spider queen. Chappal ultimately suggests simply letting her find them, which is greatly opposed by Dabsar and Zian, but greatly agreed upon by Guard and Sven. There is yet again some bickering, but eventually they encounter Ezen, with Bob and Sid. Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are delighted to see Ezen again, and Sven is pleased to see them reunited. When asked why they're here, Chappal replies that they're here to overthrow Arachne. Just in the nick of time, Arachne arrives and attacks them. Chappal declares that they can fight her together. Sure enough, they are able to defeat her. Dabsar questions just what they can do with her, as they can't let her keep living in this forest, to which Guard replies that the Village of Life has a nice, cozy dungeon to rot in. They take Arachne away and Bob leaves to, which Chappal warning that if Arachne does anything more, she well "do something she won't regret".

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are left with Sid (and Ezen). Sid questions why they were spying on him and his brother, and Chappal demands an explanation, saying that he was part of the Order of Magma, which was a fascist group that started a war some time ago, and continued waging war in multiple parts of Lijos. Sid denies any involvement, but Chappal doesn't believe it, and starts threatening him. Ezen finally stops them all from arguing, saying that he trusts Sid, as he had to leave his brother to leave the Order of Magma, something Ezen shares, in that he had to leave both his sister and father to avoid joining, which is why Ezen trusts him. They all decide to return to the Land of Xora.

On the way out, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are congratulated for their efforts by the Elder. Dabsar asks if they can have a reward (which Zian is upset by, as they should be doing this out of principals, not out of want for rewards), so the Elder gives them. Once they arrive back at the Land of Xora, they are congratulated by Cutie, Mmea and Zoe. Cutie and Mmea tell them that the next place they must go to are the Tree of Topsies, which have the next three Tree of Life pieces. During this time, they also talk about Coo Coo and about some kind of mysterious darkness plaguing the tree. Dabsar, Chappal and Ezen then leave, officially forming their group of the Bringers of Life.

#### The Animals

Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Ezen then finally reach the Tree of Topsies. There, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian complete a minigame in which they receive special boots. Afterwards, they go to the center of the tree, where they meet Ocie and Puerto, who welcome them to the Tree of Topsies, and tell them that a mysterious darkness has plagued the tree, which they think may be coming from Coo Coo's Mines. The group decides to split up, and while Ezen searches the Plains for the source of the darkness, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian go under the tree and make their way into the mines.

After making their way through the Mines of Darkness, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian go into the Plains, in search not only of the source of the darkness, but for Ezen too. They fail to find him, to Chappal's frustration. Dabsar suggests that he got lost, while Zian fears he got into trouble. Just in time, Coo Coo shows up and says that they're all (somewhat) right, which alerts them. Chappal demands what happened, and Coo Coo replies that Ezen is fine for now. The Deathmaster (in a much more weakened appearance) finally appears, and attacks Dabsar, Chappal and Zian. A brief fight ensues between them, but it is interrupted by Coo Coo, who tells the Deathmaster that they must leave. She says that the Bringers of Life did well, so she gives them Ezen and Pilin, another prisoner she has, and then she leaves with the Deathmaster. Pilin shyly greets them, and so they all decide to return to the Land of Xora. Cutie and Mmea welcome Pilin to the group, and tell them how they can get the next few pieces, which is by going to the Lands Beyond, which are on the other side of Lijos. They also say that by going there, they may cross through the Ocean of Secara, in which they'll get the Village of Life. Cutie tells them that he, Mmea and Zoe will be waiting for them there, so the group sets off.

### The Tree of Life, Book 2

#### The Beyond

Dabsar, Chappal, Zian, Ezen and Pilin go across the lands and finally reach the Lands Beyond. Once they reach, they are greeted by Feza. Zian quite quickly finds her adorable and tries to hug her. Dabsar is able to stop him in time, apologizing for his cousin's insanity. Feza comments based on the amount of people they have and compliments on how diverse their group is. Chappal tells her about their mission, and Feza reveals that Svenand Guard have passed through here and already told her about it. She warns them to be careful as there are unfriendly creatures, particularly in the Ocean of Secara. She tells them that they must go to the Ice Kingdom, the Lijos Desert, and then the Ocean of Secara. She gives them a sword in order to wish them luck, and they thank her, and embark.

As Dabsar, Chappal and Zian enter the Ice Kingdom, Ezen decides it's better if Pilin stays behind because of how cold it is, and Pilin agrees. Once they reach the top of a palace in the kingdom, they encounter the Ice King. The Ice King believes they're trespassing and tries to kill them, but they are able to hold their ground. Chappal suddenly sneezes, which somehow blows up the Ice King. They are shocked and Ezen awkwardly suggests they simply leave with the Tree of Life piece.

After going through the desert, they go to the ocean. Ezen and Pilin decide to teleport to the islands (and by the time they get to the final island, directly to the Village of Life) while Dabsar, Chappal and Zian swim through, as they say that they are able to swim (Dabsar and Zian simply say they're fine at it, while Chappal says that it's her life). Afterwards, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian swim across the ocean to the village.

#### The Life

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian eventually reach the village alongside Ezen and Pilin. Once they reach, they are immediately greeted by Cutie. Dabsar is surprised and happy to see him, Zoe and Mmea all here. As they discuss what's happened, Mmea introduces Nadu, who welcomes them to the Village of Life, and tells them that if they need anything, she will be there. Dabsar asks why the Tree of Life was destroyed in this war and not the Demon War, and Nadu replies that the Tree was in spiritual form then, and so it could not be destroyed, but in this war it was, so it was destroyed. The group splits up for their enjoyment, with Mmea standing and greeting people, Cutie keeping watch, Zoe going with Ezen and Pilin to stare at animals, Zian going to the library, Dabsar going to the weaponsmith and Chappal going to the restaurant. Dabsar reminds them that, however, they must keep sight of their main mission: to restore the Tree of Life, and that they couldn't hang around forever.

Eventually, they get moving and get the Tree of Life piece from the Caverns of Woe. After that, the get to the Mansion of Mayhem. Once they reach the Tree of Life piece, they realize it's high and they can't reach it. Chappal questions how they're supposed to reach it, and Lurker, sneaking up from behind, responds that they don't. Lurker tells them that he's been hired to keep them from reaching the Tree of Life piece. Chappal guesses it's Coo Coo who hired him, but Lurker says that's incorrect, and proceeds to attack them (not before Zian praises him for rhyming a statement). However, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are able to reach the top and grab the Tree of Life piece. Just as they do, Zoe arrives and kills Lurker. Zoe tells them they're going to the battlefield to fight the Order of Magma because Ezen and Pilin have gone missing and that they need help. Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are quick to worry, but Zoe reassures them that they'll be fine, and gives them a fast transport.

Once they reach the battlefield, Cutie and Mmea express their relief in seeing them. They suddenly see Sven and Guard, who are fighting the Order of Magma too. Guard tells them to hush, as Nadu is about to give her speech. In her speech, Nadu tells of her plan to conquer the Order of Magma and stop them from taking over the Village of Life by infiltrating their airship and capturing their commander, which would mean the Order of Magma would need to negotiate to get him back. Zoe volunteers for this mission, but Nadu tells her that she needs her here. Zian, to everyone's surprise, volunteers to go rescue Ezen and Pilin and capture the commander. Chappal advises against this, saying that his battle skills are awful, but Zian simply states that he doesn't care, and that he'll do whatever it takes to get Ezen and Pilin back. Nadu commends Zian for having his mindset, saying he has the heart of a warrior. Chappal and Dabsar decide to go with him and help him. Nadu then tells them that there are four magma creams scattered across the battlefield, and that they must find them to craft a magma block. Once they do, they'll use that as a key to enter the airship. She also tells them to get into their own airship for some boots that will keep them from falling too hard. She wishes them luck.

Eventually, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian accomplish this by getting the four magma cream pieces, climbing up to the airship, and infiltrating it, and eventually enter the commander's quarters. There, they are (very rudely) greeted by Pozan. As they prepare to capture him, Pilin suddenly shows up. At first, they are relieved to see him, but when they see the way Pozan is talking, they realize that Pilin is a spy, and they feel extremely hurt and betrayed. Pilin states that he has no choice (which Pozan agrees to), and Pozan promptly reveals that Pilin is his son, much to Dabsar, Chappal and Zian's shock. Eventually, Pilin is faced with a choice to either fight them or fight by their side. Despite the pleading expressions of Dabsar, Chappal and Zian, Pilin chooses to fight them. This results in a fierce battle, but it is interrupted by Ezen coming and saving them. Immediately, Pozan and Pilin escape to avoid being captured. Zoe comes and asks what's happened, and Dabsar explains that Pilin was the spy, which surprises and saddens Zoe. Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Ezen are then informed that Nadu was struck down by a dark wizard. They go to the airship, and see that Nadu is in a critical state. She tells them that her time has come, and even though Ezen and Dabsar try to argue that there is something they can do, Chappal responds that she doesn't know Void magic and so she can't help. Nadu simply states that death is what gives life meaning, and it is a source of comfort, knowing once you've done your purpose, you can know the world will carry on your legacy, while you can rest. Sven is named commander as Nadu dies, and Zoe chooses to stay behind. Dabsar, Chappal, Zian, Ezen, Mmea and Cutie return to the Land of Xora. Once they reach, they are still saddened by what happened. Regardless, Cutie and Mmea give them instructions on where to go next, which is Mount Fjall. They do so and set off.

#### The Monsters

As the Bringers of Life arrive at Mount Fjall, they first complete a minigame created by the Fire Demon, and then go to the room in which the doorways to the Tree of Life pieces are. They are greeted by Blooddrawer, who asks them where they want to stay. Dabsar replies that they're just here to go through the doors. Blooddrawer advises against that, saying that monsters who go through them get captured and vanish. Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Ezen are confused by this. They decide to, alongside looking for Tree of Life pieces, look for the missing monsters.

They start going to the Outskirts of Void. Even though they are warned by Ezen that the Void is an extremely dangerous place and that even entering it s outskirts is risky, Chappal remarks that she always goes towards the danger anyway. Zian reassures Ezen they'll be okay as long as they stay together. Reluctantly, Ezen agrees, muttering that he hopes he's right. After searching the large outskirts, they eventually reach a shrine in an obsidian place, where they are encountered by Glacias and Aer, who demand them to leave. Before they can question what's happened, the shrine suddenly starts exploding, and from the ashes rises Zovan. He fights them for a bit, and then leaves. In horror, Glacias informs them that to keep Zovan away from the physical plane, no human can ever step foot near his shrine. However, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian just did that. They apologize, and then ask where all the missing monsters are. Glacias informs them that the Order of Magma is taking them captive through the Heart of Fjall to get to their base. Without further ado (and after Aer gives Dabsar, Chappal and Zian the Tree of Life piece), they leave to go there.

After trudging through the Heart of Fjall, the Bringers of Life eventually reach just outside the Order of Magma Base. There, they are suddenly greeted by Blooddrawer, who informs them that he was once part of the Order of Magma, but left because of its genocidal intentions, and as a result left his sibling. Ezen apologizes for this, but wonders why they should trust him, remembering what happened with Pilin. Blooddrawer tells them he won't stop them, but won't help them either, and is only here to try to convince Skinscraper, his brother, to change. Despite Ezen's warning that it may not work, they go anyway.

Eventually they reach the captain's quarters, and there they find not only Skinscraper, but Coo Coo, which horrifies Chappal, so much so that she bursts out that she is Coo Coo's sibling, much to everyone's shock. As Blooddrawer and Skinscraper talk to each other, and as Blooddrawer tries to to convince him, Skinscraper refuses, and goes as far as to threaten to kill Blooddrawer as he aims to kill Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Ezen. Blooddrawer chooses to fight alongside the Bringers of Life instead of Skinscraper, which surprises and slightly saddens Skinscraper. Regardless, they fight, until the voice of the Magma Queen arrives. Because Blooddrawer was once part of the Order of Magma, his life force is tied to hers, and she kills him, and strips Coo Coo of her chaos power after Coo Coo suggests simply letting Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Ezen go with the Tree of Life piece. Afterward, she reluctantly gives them the piece anyway, and tells them to leave, warning them that she's not done with them.

Once they return to the Land of Xora, they express their exhaustion, as Zian claims that he just wants to sleep. Cutie and Mmea inform them that the place they can go now is the City of Life, where they can rest while looking for Tree of Life pieces, as it was one of the only places as safe as the Land of Xora. They agree, and decide to head off immediately.

#### The Death

Once they reach, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are all awed by the beauty of the city. As they prepare to examine it, Ezen suddenly breaks the news to them that he needs time on his own. Despite Zian's efforts to convince him otherwise, Dabsar and Chappal tell him that it'll be fine, and that Ezen probably needs it. Reluctantly, Zian agrees, as he heads off. Cutie and Mmea stay with them however. After navigating the city for a while, they suddenly enter a room with Zoe, Sven and Guard in it, along with a couple of other animals and monsters. They are delighted to see Zoe again, and realize that these are all people they've met over their journey. Sven explains that this is the new Legion of Life, and that after the death of Nadu, most soldiers abandoned it, which Sven saw as an opportunity to make the legion more diverse, gathering all these animals and monsters to help create more peace in the lands. Sven then proceeds to ask Dabsar, Chappal, Zian, Mmea and Cutie to join the legion, alongside Ezen once he turns up again. Delighted, they all accept. Suddenly, a bunch of alarms begin sounding, and they realize the City of Life is being attacked. Zoe, using her echolocation, realizes it's a lot, and Sven decides they should split up, as he tells Dabsar, Chappal and Zian to go with Zoe to protect the citizens, and navigate a path back to the main city. They agree to do so, and start to head off for battle.

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian begin fighting Order of Magma soldiers. Eventually, they are told by Mmea that they found an entrance. She asks them to go to it, as everyone else is too busy. They agree to do so. Eventually, they navigate a path and everyone follows. However, once they reach the City of Life, they realize it's too late and that the damage has already been done. Zian, horrified, realizes that Ezen was here, and that he was taken away. Sven and Zoe begin to fear that the Order of Magma is tracking them somehow, and Sven realizes that they are tracking Ezen, because he's an enderman and therefore has Void magic. Mmea and Cutie begin to fear something horrible happening, which worries Zian, but Sven says that it's best they don't worry. Zoe declares that it's time to infiltrate Myrkur, and they can do that by going through the outskirts. They do this by going through the Oceanside.

Once they go through the oceanside, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian, alongside the Legion of Life, arrive at the Outskirts of Myrkur. They begin by fighting off many Order of Magma soldiers, and after traveling through for a while they eventually reach Skinscraper, who fights with them for a while. After some time, however, Skinscraper reveals that he feels remorse for his actions, and wishes to make amends. Dabsar, Chappal and Zian have trouble deciding whether he is worth giving a second chance to. Ultimately, with input from the Legion of Life, they decide to give him a chance but keep him under close supervision.

As they continue heading through the tunnels, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian with the Legion of Life encounter Leethos. There is a brief but fierce fight between them which ultimately ends in Leethos retreating, promising to return. After this, the Legion discusses their plans on how to save Ezen. During this, however, Sid suggests that they should leave Ezen, as they are risking far too much simply for one enderman, which outrages both Zian and Zoe. However, Chappal is able to (shockingly) calmly explain that they need to rescue him, or else they could use him to bring back The Void.

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian, taking Skinscraper with them, head down two tunnels, and in one, fight Baibee, while in the other, fight Azen. They have a brief conversation with her about how Ezen was able to climb his way out of the darkness, while Azen stubbornly refused, and stayed in the darkness. She then leaves, saying that they have one more person to fight before they take away Ezen for good.

Sure enough, Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Skinscraper eventually encounter the notorious Vogana, a powerful void witch. There is a relatively lengthy and ferocious battle between them, that ultimately ends with the rest of the Order of Magma arriving. Pozan mocks Dabsar, Chappal and Zian's failed efforts, and Azen traps them to the ground with a curse, intending to bury them alive. Pozan and Azen then execute Skinscraper, but not before Skinscraper thanks Dabsar, Chappal and Zian for the chance they give him to do the right thing. After this, the Order of Magma leaves for Myrkur, taking Ezen with them, much to Dabsar, Chappal and Zian's horror. They are then found by Sven, Guard, Mmea and Cutie who rescue them from being buried alive. They explain what has happened, and Mmea assures them that they have another plan, and once they return to the Land of Xora, she'll explain what the plan is.

Back at the Land of Xora, Mmea explains how they can save Ezen, which is by going on a stealth mission through the Cloud Castle and End to reach Myrkur to save Ezen from the Order of Magma, while also getting Tree of Life pieces. Dabsar, Chappal and Zian immediately volunteer to go in this stealth mission, and Sven, Guard and Zoe volunteer as well. They leave on departure after Ocie notes that they've suffered losses, but that they'll climb back up eventually.

### The Tree of Life, Book 3

#### The Darkness

Dabsar, Chappal and Zian travel with Sven, Guard and Zoe through the Edge of Lijos, Frozen Land and the Cloud Castle. In the middle of the Cloud Castle, they are suddenly found by Coo Coo Junior, Crazy and Waawa. Although Sven recognizes them as demons who still work for Coo Coo, they explain that they are no longer part of Coo Coo's army and have retired, believing that Coo Coo was going crazier each day. Zian pities them, noting that they were close friends with her, while Crazy replies that they were siblings. This shocks them, but they quickly inform that they are looking for Tree of Life pieces. The demons tell them that if they were to get the Tree of Life piece and transfer to the End, they could risk freeing Coo Coo and give them instructions to make sure they are ready to put her back in her prison should this occur. They also tell them that they must find Mewi in order to learn where the other Tree of Life pieces are. They apologize to Chappal for everything, and Chappal forgives and thanks them.

Once they reach this place, Coo Coo shows up, ready to attack. However, during the attack, Chappal suddenly comes down with the realization that her memory has been erased through some means by Zovan, and that Coo Coo was once killed by the Dungeoneer, until Zovan resurrected her and made her under his control. This prompts a battle to go between them, but during the fight, Chappal is able to reach out to Coo Coo, and appeal to the remaining humanity in it. Zovan, frustrated, abandons Coo Coo by letting his spirit leave her body, and leaving her to die. Chappal cries over Coo Coo as she starts to die. However, after Zovan leaves, Coo Coo reveals that she was just joking, and that she was actually alive and well. She and Chappal embrace, and then go on, with Sven deciding to let Coo Coo join the Legion of Life, given that most of her crimes were forced onto her, and that she didn't voluntarily commit them.

As they go through the End and struggle to find the lair of Mewi, and find the invisible cat. He explains to them that the final two pieces are in Myrkur and the Void, which shocks them, given that the Void is incredibly dangerous, and a single wrong move could lead to them being killed. Mewi also tells them that rebuilding the Tree of Life is the only way to stop and defeat Zovan, as he was planning on using Ezen to resurrect The Void by forming an alliance with the Order of Magma. He tells them that the only way they can stop the Order of Magma and Zovan now is to head to Myrkur and fight the Magma Queen and rescue Ezen before he is taken to the Void. They decide to head off immediately.

#### The End

Once they reach Myrkur, Sven and Guard note that they have a limited time, and the group advances to the Magma Queen's throne room. Once they reach however, the Magma Queen reveals through her far-off voice that she had already left for Lijos, and that they were ready to completely destroy it. As the Legion of Life breaks down in despair, Ezen suddenly appears, and reveals that he's been saved by Pilin. Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are delighted to see Ezen, but are hesitant to recruit Pilin given their previous experiences with him, and Sven, Guard, Zoe and Coo Coo have their own feelings as well. However, ultimately Pilin convinces them that he won't betray them, and that all he wants to do is help them not destroy Lijos. Sven hesitantly recruits him in the Legion of Life.

After this, the Bringers of Life enter the Void. Although they successfully go through it for a while, eventually they are spit up; Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are left with Coo Coo, and have no idea where the others are. Eventually, Ezen shows up and tells them they should keep heading on, but accidentally refers to the as "humans", which is the name he never refers to them as. After this, The Deathmaster appears and reveals that it was in fact him. He then orders the possessed Ezen to attack them.

After the fight, Ezen sends Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Coo Coo over the cliff, ready to let them fall. Despite their begs to do otherwise, Ezen is completely under The Deathmaster's control. Zovan then arrives, and, despite Coo Coo's requests that they reconsider their plan to resurrect The Void, Zovan does so anyway, and has The Void completely under his control. Zovan then leaves and takes The Void with him, ready to destroy Lijos, while The Deathmaster stays and is ready to kill the Bringers of Life and Coo Coo. However, they are quickly saved by Zoe, Pilin, Sven and Guard. Though they are able to hold off The Deathmaster for a while with Pilin informing Ezen something personal that temporarily brings him back to his senses, The Deathmaster simply gets back up and dangles everyone except possessed Ezen and Zoe over the void, ready to throw them in and kill them all. However, Zoe fights The Deathmaster and kills him, but kills herself along with it, which results in everyone being thrown back on land, and Ezen being unpossessed. This horrifies everyone, including the bringers of life, as they grieve Zoe. Komodi, who was in prison, then arrives, and informs them that there is still time to save Lijos, and that they must get a fast transport to Lijos, which they do.

Once they reach, Coo Coo realizes that the Order of Magma have split up; Azen and Pozan are under a mountain, the Magma Queen is in the sky, ready to destroy Lijos manually, while the top commanders are on the mountain. Dabsar decides to go with Sven and Guard to join up with the other Legion of Life members as well as Cutie and Mmeato fight the top commanders, while Chappal goes with Coo Coo to fight the Magma Queen, and Zian goes with Ezen and Pilin to fight Azen and Pozan.

Eventually, Pilin, Ezen and Zian catch up with Pozan and Azen, causing them to start fighting. However, Azen takes away Ezen, not allowing Zian to help him, while Pilin refuses to let Zian fight, as he wishes to fight Pozan alone. This, however, ends in catastrophe, as Pozan completely singles out Pilin, and Pilin stands no chance, as Pozan now has chaos magic. Though Zian attempts to help, Pozan simply blasts him too, forcing him to fall down. Before Pozan is able to finish off Pilin however, Zian gives Pilin an encouraging glance, giving him the strength he needs to fight back Pozan, which finally allows Pilin to disable his father's magic and defeat him.

Unfortunately, this victory is short-lived and Zovan arrives instantly afterwards. While Zian, Pilin and Ezen are ready to fight him, Ezen suddenly collapses. Before Zian can investigate what's happened, Pilin insists he leave to fight Zovan, promising he'll take care of Ezen. Hesitantly, Zian leaves and confronts Zovan. Instead, however, he ends up combatting The Void itself, prompting a fierce battle. Though Zian is able to hold his own, he ultimately stands no chance, and Zovan mocks him for his efforts, and nearly kills him, but Cutie and Mmea save him just in time, even though they end up being caught and thrown down too, causing them to become severely injured.

All the bringers of life feel hopeless in these moments as Zovan prepares to use The Void to completely obliterate Lijos itself and recreate it. However, just in time, Ezen stops the process and destroys Zovan and banishes The Void, thus putting an end to its reign of terror. Zovan then cleanses Lijos of its destruction, reversing it back to how it was before the Order of Magma destroyed it. They all celebrate this victory, with Chappal celebrating with the demons, as they share a group hug, while Zian celebrates with Cutie and Mmea. Ezen and Pilin talk about what they will do now, and Ezen invites Pilin to stay in the Land of Xora, and Pilin is delighted, saying he'd be glad to be with his new friends, as he faces Dabsar, Chappal, Zian, Coo Coo, Cutie, Mmea and Ezen. Ultimately the series closes on them deciding to talk to the Legion of Life to help rebuild the land after the destruction the war did to it, as Ezen promises that they'll do it together, just like they always have.

## Physical Description

Zian is slightly short and thin for his age. He has dark brown eyes and black hair. He has tannish skin, and typically wears a light blue T-shirt and turquoise pants. He doesn't wear shoes.

## Personality

Zian is often quiet and somewhat shy around others. He prefers to keep to himself, and doesn't usually like sharing things with other people. However, he greatly opened up to his cousin and sister as well as Ezen.

Unlike Chappal, who seems to oppose the world, Zian greatly loves the world of Lijos and is often awed by all the nature and beauty in the world. He is uncomfortable in towns however due to the larger population of people, which often makes him uncomfortable.

Zian is slightly more cowardly than his cousin and sister, often being reluctant to go into battle. He wants to hide when conflict arises, a notable example being The Wither Boss, when Chappal suggested fighting it, which Zian very vocally disagreed with.

Zian is easily able to feel compassion for people, even to those who, at that present moment at least, don't really deserve it. He feels bad for Coo Coo despite the fact that she deliberately is tormenting them, and is the quickest to trust Pilin after his betrayal, saying that he hasn't really done much to be called a bad person. Zian has a tendency to love "cute" things/people, such as falling into an existential crisis when seeing Feza and Coo Coo.

He is often very passionate about his beliefs, and very quick to show fury when someone tries to oppose what he sees as morally right. For instance, when Sid and Sven suggested that they may need to leave Ezen behind, Zian threatens to brutally murder them until Chappal, who is usually the violent one, manages to calm him down. He also is able to act ferocious and forceful when needed, such as in Cloud Castle to snap Chappal out of her phase and get her to tell them what she was learning.

Despite his slightly cowardly nature, Zian's bravery increases by a lot when the series progresses, as he is quick to volunteer to go on a stealth mission to rescue Ezen from the clutches of the Order of Magma, despite others telling him that it's not a good idea. He also faces The Void alone at the end of the series, ready to confront death, for the sake of protecting Ezen and avenging his master.

## Abilities

### Skills

* **Intelligence:** Zian, just like his cousin and sister, is fairly intelligent and witty, easily being able to solve puzzles and spot inconveniences.
* **Knowledge:** Zian has vast knowledge about the cultures of Lijos, as shown that he knew what the Tree of Life was. He is the most knowledgeable in terms of the world itself of the three playable characters.
* **Emotional Intelligence:** Zian is able to tell the feelings of others fairly easily, and is able to tell when something is bothering Ezen despite the enderman's closed and shy personality. Zian is the most emotionally intelligent out of the three
* **Sensitivity:** Zian is sensitive to others' feelings, and upsets others the least out of the three
* **Compassion:** Zian is greatly compassionate to others, and has a firm belief on what is right and wrong. Though this can be a weakness sometimes, it also allows him to easily decipher good from evil, and to feel compassion for others, even people that he sees as his enemies.
* **Agility:** Zian isn't as agile as his sister, but is fairly agile either way
* **Enhanced speed:** Zian has the largest built-up stamina of the three players, and is able to run faster than both of them as a result
* **Care:** Zian is a lot more careful than Chappal and Dabsar, and doesn't rush into battle as much as them. Although he can be occasionally impulsive, he usually is able to control himself, unless his values get in the way.

### Powers

* **Magic:** Zian is gifted in magic, as he was trained by the immensely powerful and famous Ezmio the Powerful Sorcerer.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Zian is said to be gifted in telekinesis, being able to move objects from afar. Though he isn't too powerful in this ability, it does lead to him being a fairly strong wizard.
	+ **Alchemy:** Zian is an alchemist, though his abilities are never shown
	+ **Flight:** Zian is able to fly, and he doesn't frequently use this ability at first, but in Lijos II he uses it to combat The Void and to keep the world from being destroyed.
	+ **Combat in magic:** Zian is able to shoot blasts of magic at his opponents which knock them backwards, and in some cases is able to severely harm or kill them.

* **The Tree of Life:** After completing 26/27 of the Tree of Life pieces, Zian gains several knew abilities, including enhanced strength, speed and resistance.

### Weaknesses

* **Void magic:** Like Chappal, Zian cannot heal wounds from Void magic. Unlike Chappal however, since Zian is a regular wizard and has been trained in doing such. Despite this, he is notably weak in comparison to wizards like Zovan or Ezen who are gifted in Void magic.
* **Fire:** Zian cannot conjure fire magic, and is easily vulnerable through fire.
* **Passion:** Zian's passion can also be a place for weaknesses. For example, when Sid and Sven suggest that Ezen may not be worth saving if the entire Legion of Life is at risk of being captured (which isn't an irrational worry), Zian threatens to kill them by ripping their soul out (though Chappal is quickly able to calm him down).
* **Cowardice:** Zian is a slight coward, as he isn't as brave or daring as Chappal or Dabsar. However, this also helps him be less impulsive than them as well.
* **Introversion:** Zian is slightly shy, and can't stand being around too many people.

## Relationships

### Ezmio the Powerful Sorcerer

Ezmio was the mentor and close friend of Zian.

Zian and Ezmio seemed to have had a close relationship, the two getting along well and Zian looking up to Ezmio. Zian was never seen grieving Ezmio, but he is still bitter about it, as he fights The Void with the intent of avenging his master.

### Dabsar

Dabsar is the cousin of Zian.

The two are extremely good friends, with Zian getting along with him very well. Due to both being introverts, unlike with Chappal, they are generally comfortable just sitting around and not talking at all. Zian is much more artistic than Dabsar, and though the two work on projects together, generally their interests differ greatly. Regardless, they are glad to share projects with each other (such as Dabsar's inventions and Zian's stories) and give feedback. The two are often awed by how strange Chappal can be and often simultaneously shout "NO" when Chappal suggests something too ridiculous, even for them.

### Chappal

Chappal is the sister of Zian.

Zian and Chappal have an extremely close friendship as siblings that stems to their time together in the Town of Terrors. Chappal greatly loves her brother and is willing to do anything to help him. Zian, in turn, is protective of his sister, and quick to argue with others who oppose her, even Dabsar, his own cousin. Zian and Chappal often share similar ideas, and have mutual opinions about topics that allow them to get along. Slight differences in ideas and creativities often cause brief rifts, but they are quick to vanish and the two are quick to go back to remaining close friends.

Chappal, however, expresses frustration that Zian underestimates just how traumatizing her past has been. This ultimately changes, as Zian is immensely compassionate of Chappal, and completely acknowledges how much she's suffered from Coo Coo's betrayal. Chappal is also quite capable of seeing when Zian is upset, and voices her concern. She also has some playful teasing, remarking that Zian is almost always quiet, except when he's singing, giving a slight nod to the fact that Zian does sing a lot, and quick loudly, though relatively well. Ultimately, the two have an extremely close friendship that is among the strongest in the series.

### Ezen

Ezen is the best friend of Zian.

The two have an extremely close friendship that is arguably closer than Ezen has to Dabsar and Chappal. Zian constantly demonstrates his affection and devotion to Ezen, and says on multiple occasions he'll risk anything to save his friend. Zian is often very passionate about his friends, and especially to Ezen, as he goes to extreme lengths to keep him safe, including threatening to brutally murder Sid when he suggests that Ezen may not be worth saving, risking his life by going into an airship which has hundreds of soldiers that could kill him in an instant, and numerous other occasions. Ezen also describes Zian as "insightful", and genuinely sees him as intelligent, remarking that is why the two get along; that Zian is able to see past what's there and look into what people are truly feeling.

### Pilin

Pilin was a former enemy of Zian, eventually becoming a good friend.

Zian and Pilin have a fairly good relationship by the end of the series, but it did not start that way. At the beginning, when Pilin was a spy, Zian was friendly with Pilin, but didn't seem to have an incredibly deep friendship with him. However, he was pleased to see him and Ezen getting along. Once Pilin reveals he was a traitor, however, all of Zian's positive feelings about Pilin are turned down, and Zian is irritated and holds a grudge against Pilin. The two meet again on occasion after that, but Zian doesn't really interact with him; however, it is clear Zian is sad that Pilin betrayed them, and also angry.

Later on, however, when Pilin rescues Ezen and tries to ask to join the Legion of Life and everyone is doubtful, Zian is the first (apart from Ezen) to advocate for Pilin, saying that what he wanted was quite understandable, and even with his betrayal, what he did outside of that wasn't that much, at least far less than Pozan, Skinscraper or the Magma Queen. Zian seems to generally trust Pilin more than his cousin and sister do after this; in fact, Zian's great trust for Pilin is revealed in the penultimate episode of the series, when Ezen is dying, and Pilin demands that Zian go fight Zovan before he destroys the world, and promises that he'll keep Ezen safe. While Zian hesitates, he puts his trust in Pilin to protect his friend, and leaves. By the end, Zian views Pilin as a good friend.

### Mmea

Mmea is a close friend and guidance of Zian.

Mmea and Zian are seen to be good friends, and Zian and Mmea often share equally absurd and random comments, with both of them screaming "YAYAYAYAY" a lot, which confuses Cutie. Mmea risks her life to save Zian from Zovan in the series finale, showing her care for her friend, while Zian demonstrates regular friendship.

### Coo Coo

Coo Coo was a former enemy of Zian, eventually becoming a close friend.

From the beginning, Zian didn't entirely view Coo Coo as an enemy. Though at first he seemed terrified of her, he also was awed by how adorable and cuddly she seemed. Coo Coo, in turn, seemed to appreciate that. However that didn't stop her from criticizing him for being a human, believing that they had caused too much harm to the world.

However, Zian truly felt bad for Coo Coo, believing she was mislead, and that the world had grown from her reign. Zian continues to be friendly to Coo Coo when they fight, and is clearly saddened when she fakes death, and is happy to have her join them. Zian seems to bear no resentment towards Coo Coo. He also finds it adorable that Coo Coo was a teddy bear at one point as well.

### Sven

Sven is a friend of Zian.

Zian is the most aloof to Sven at first, and barely talks to him at all. However, as the series goes on, the two of them get along better, and trust each other.

### Zoe

Zoe was a good friend of Zian.

Zian is a close friend of Zoe; Zian advocates for Zoe to Ezen, saying that she can be trusted. Though it takes Ezen some time to listen, he eventually does. Zoe, in turn, cares about Zian and often worries about his safety. Zian openly grieves Zoe's death.

### Sid

Sid is an ally of Zian.

Although at first, Zian is the only one to advocate for Sid, saying that he isn't dangerous or untrustworthy, Zian very violently berates him for wanting to leave Ezen behind, saying risking the entire Legion of Lifeto save one enderman isn't worth the risk.

### Nadu

Nadu was an ally and guidance of Zian.

In spite of their limited interactions, it is clear that Nadu trusts Zian, as she sees him as a genuine person who wants to do the right thing, and believes that he can help make Lijos a better place for all races that live there. Zian is clearly saddened by her death as well.

### Pozan

Pozan was a bitter enemy of Zian.

Throughout The Tree of Life, Zian had the most interactions with Pozan out of the three players. While he generally fears other enemies, Zian absolutely hates Pozan and finds his actions to be detestable, considering just how cold-hearted and vile he is, especially with his abuse of Pilin. Zian is ready to even resort to killing Pozan, until Pilin tells Zian that he wants to fight him alone.

### Azen

Azen was an enemy of Zian.

Zian is somewhat disgusted of Azen for becoming the way she is and betraying her brother. He also is incredibly disgusted with how Azen was wiling to sell out Ezen to Zovan so that they could bring back The Void. It is unknown if Zian ever found out that Azen sacrificed herself, or if she did, whether he forgave her for all she did. Azen, in turn, mocks Zian and finds him to be a weak opponent.

### Skinscraper

Skinscraper was an enemy of Zian, eventually becoming an ally.

Out of the three players, Zian seems to be the closest to pitying or even forgiving him. It is unknown how Zian ultimately felt after Skinscraper died, whether he felt any sadness, or simply didn't care.

### Sheriff

The sheriff was an ally of Zian, eventually becoming an enemy.

Zian is by far the most disgusted with the sheriff, and openly tries to fight him to protect Ezen.

### The Void

The Void is an enemy of Zian.

Zian is the only character in the series that has any interactions with The Void; in that time, The Void mocks him for what a small wizard he is. Zian is determined to fight them and avenge his master, Ezmio. The Void simply tells him to "do his worst".
