 Description

### Appearance

Angular features and a slender body flanked by a long serpentine tail. His skin is a deep purple and his eyes a golden yellow. His horns are impeded in his forehead and extend to curling black-tipped points.

Zacharias generally dawns a velvet black overcoat, inlaid with golden patterns and pointed shoulders. His outfits are inspired by the extra-planar beings he studies, the iconography on them evokes the vast histories of the cosmos.

### Personality

Zacharias is unfazed by most mundane things. Having glimpsed into the world beyond, he finds mortal life a bore and behaves in a stoic way.

Still, the curiosity that began his research leads him in life. Zacharias is constantly searching for a greater understanding of everything around him.

While generally agreeable, he believes strongly in the natural order of the world and dislikes mortal interference. Particularly, he dislikes the abuse of monstrosities and extraplanar creatures, as he himself has suffered abuses for his fiendish heritage. He is highly empathic and tries to understand everyone, even those who are frightening or beyond redemption.

## Story

### Background

Zacharias' personal history is unknown. He has lived in the Motley Chalet for around five years and build the Colosseum of Delirium almost immediately.

## Relationships

### **Morgun**

Morgun came upon Zacharias' Colosseum in a desperate attempt to allow Dominus to get his taste of blood. Zacharias was immediately welcoming and scheduled Morgun for a fight. During his battle with the Wolf, Zacharias witnessed Morgun turn into Dominus. The rarity of such a being was not lost on Zacharias.

After that moment, Zacharias became interested in helping Morgun get to the bottom of his condition. He warned the Oread about the experiments being done on his kind in Last Mount. The two reached a mutual understanding and have been working together well since.

### Symania

Like with Morgun before her, Symania and Zacharias became closer after discussing her own mystery, the origins of The Author. Zacharias claimed The Author was an Aeon but that it's behavior was unlike anything he had witnessed before. Symania gave Zacharias a Tome and he promised to research this New God as well.
