APPEARANCE:: In the beginning, he has short spikey black hair and bangs framing the sides of his face. He is also tall, well-built, and features the iconic sky-blue "Mako Eyes" that many SOLDIERs have. At first, he wears a dark blue SOLDIER uniform, gloves, boots, and is equipped with a standard SOLDIER Sword. Later, he is upgraded to a black 1st Class SOLDIER uniform. When Angeal, his former friend and mentor, transforms into a monster, Zack is forced to fight him. After Angeal's defeat, Zack obtains the Buster Sword as well as an X-shaped scar on his cheek. Later, he also changes his hair. It is still spiky but longer than it originally was, going back with a lock of hair hanging down in front of his face.

PERSONALITY: Zack initially has a strong attitude, and is always ready for work. His personality helped him earn the nickname "Zack the Puppy" from Angeal. He is very loyal to SOLDIER and dreams to become a hero. He also has a very friendly and caring personality, easily making friends with almost everyone he meets. Angeal's words of having dreams and honor have had a great impact on Zack, leading him to protect his honor and dreams as a member of SOLDIER, though still he retains his upbeat self. Zack is very flirty with women, occasionally asking a few out on a date as he does with Aerith right after meeting her, depicting himself to be somewhat of a ladies' man. Zack is also very protective of his friends, and will be ready to defend them without hesitation. He does not hesitate to fight Sephiroth after seeing Nibelheim ablaze and finding Tifa injured in the Mako Reactor, and he points the Buster Sword at Cissnei, threatening to attack her in Cloud's defense.

HISTORY: Zack, born in the town of Gongaga, had childhood dreams of joining SOLDIER to become a 1st Class like the legendary Sephiroth. At the age of thirteen, Zack left Gongaga, without even telling his parents, and joined the Shinra's military forces.

By October of 0000, he had reached SOLDIER 2nd Class under the tutelage of SOLDIER 1st Class Angeal Hewley. Angeal's words of wisdom and strong sense of honor had a profound effect on Zack, who wanted to be just like his mentor. During his time in SOLDIER, Zack befriended 2nd Class SOLDIER Kunsel, who guided him in the ways of Shinra. Zack works under Director Lazard Deusericus in the 49th Floor of Shinra Headquarters, along with many other SOLDIER members.

In Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, Zack is first introduced undergoing a digital training session with his mentor Angeal Hewley. Zack successfully completes the mission, but while he is caught off-guard by the victory, is attacked by a virtual form of Sephiroth. Sephiroth overpowers Zack, but Angeal saves him and ends the training. Angeal leaves saying, "To be a hero you need to have dreams...and honor." Despite the debacle in training, Angeal requests to Director Lazard that Zack be promoted to 1st Class. Zack is soon sent on his own mission to Wutai so as to prove his abilities. Though Zack became ecstatic over Angeal's suggestion, he received some interesting news during the briefing: 1st Class SOLDIER Genesis Rhapsodos had deserted Shinra, taking an untold number of 2nd and 3rd Class warriors with him.

Angeal and Zack arrive in Wutai and began their walk to the Fort Tamblin. On the way, Angeal asks Zack if he knows what "dumbapples" are. Zack replies no and learns the origin of the apples and that Angeal was poor growing up. As they wait for a bomb to go off, Zack questions Angeal why he never uses his sword, the Buster Sword, saying it seems wasteful. Angeal simply states that "Use brings about wear, tear and rust, and that's a real waste." The bomb goes off and Zack jumps down and takes out the forces single-handedly. Zack enters a room and is attacked by two anti-soldier monsters. He defeats them before a third falls. Zack attacks it,and believes it to be dead. When he turns his back, the monster uses a backhand slap and sends Zack flying to the wall. Angeal arrives, just in time, and kills the monster using the Buster Sword right before the monster finishes Zack off, and when Zack asks about his sword, Angeal says, "You're a little more important than my sword, but just a little."

While heading back to meet with Lazard, several soldiers attack but Angeal stays behind to deal with them while Zack gets Lazard to safety and heads back to discover Angeal missing. Ifrit appears and battles Zack. Once again, Zack falsely believes he won and gets attacked. Just then, Sephiroth arrives and defeats Ifrit in one blow. A shocked Zack watches Sephiroth identify the bodies as copies of Genesis. Realizing that these were the soldiers that Angeal had last been seen fighting, and that he was nowhere to be seen, Sephiroth comes to the conclusion that Angeal left with his long-time friend, Genesis. Zack, however, refuses to believe that his mentor would ever desert Shinra.

Zack soon is given a new mission by Lazard. He is joined by Tseng of the Turks. In Angeal and Genesis's hometown, Banora Village, Zack and Tseng find a grave and Tseng stays to investigate. Zack heads into the village and finds only one person, Angeal's mother, Gillian Hewley. She asks him where Angeal is but Zack says he doesn't know. Zack heads outside and finds an alternate path that leads to a factory. Inside, Genesis appears and taunts Zack and injures Tseng. Angeal arrives and defends Zack, but soon pushes him away. Tseng soon reveals that due to the high number of hostiles, several planes are going to bomb Banora. Zack races to save Gillian but finds her dead on the floor, Angeal standing above her. Thinking Angeal did it, Zack punches him and questions his honor. Genesis arrives and trips Zack, letting Angeal go. Genesis summons Bahamut, which Zack defeats. Zack soon questions Genesis about his honor to which Genesis replies that he has no honor. Sprouting a black angel wing, Genesis flies off. As Zack heads towards a Shinra Helicon with Tseng in it, he watches the bombing of Banora and gets on the Helicopter.

In April 0001, Zack is at Shinra Headquarters when Lazard awards him the title of SOLDIER First Class. Zack is not happy that he attained his dreams so early, and after so many losses. At that moment, Genesis's army attacks Midgar, and Zack has to fight them throughout the city. Along the way, he saves Cissnei, another member of the Turks. Sephiroth and Zack both head to the Sector 5 Reactor to find the rogue Dr. Hollander, who is suspected of working with Genesis. Zack chases Hollander through the Reactor until he runs into Angeal, who says that his goals are world domination and revenge. Sprouting wings, Angeal tells Zack that he is a monster. Zack replies that he is not a monster because he has angel wings, and Angeal questions him on his answer. Not satisfied with his response, Angeal attacks Zack and knocks him back. Refusing to fight his old friend and mentor, Zack refuses to defend himself from Angeal's attack. Angeal then uses magic to knock the platform beneath him away, causing him to fall.

Zack drops through the roof of a church, where Zack meets Aerith Gainsborough. Grateful to her for saving his life (although she insists that she did nothing but say, "Hello-o!"), Zack offers to pay Aerith back with one date. However, Aerith laughs and calls him silly. Zack sees the flowers and is impressed, saying that flowers are rarely seen in Midgar. Zack suggests that Aerith should sell the flowers that grow in the church. Later on, Zack gets his wallet stolen by a child, and would eventually find him, only to find that the child's wallet was eaten by a monster. In generosity, he lets the child keep his wallet in order to buy some medicine, or you can choose to take the wallet back from the monsters. That being done, it happens that the kid had a lot more money in his wallet than in Zack does in his. Zack then buys Aerith the ribbon that she is seen wearing throughout the series.

However, their date is cut short when Zack has to return to the Midgar Plate to defeat Genesis. While on route, Angeal lands and explains that he and Zack must work together. Zack agrees and the two fly off to the Shinra building. Sephiroth explains that Hollander is most likely after Hojo due to Hojo taking over his job. Zack arrives and Genesis does as well as Angeal. Genesis flies out and Angeal grabs Zack and puts him down so that he can face Bahamut Fury while Angeal deals with Genesis. After the battle, Zack sees Angeal and Genesis gone and once again asks himself where he is.

After the Midgar attack, Zack is sent to the mountain town of Modeoheim, with Tseng accompanying him once more, as well as several Shinra infantrymen, one of whom is Cloud Strife. Their helicopter is shot down by Genesis' troops on the way there, and the team must hike their way across the snow. Zack and Cloud make headway fast. When Zack makes the comment that his companion can at least keep up after seeing how far behind Tseng and the other troops are, they learn that they are both "country boys" and become immediate friends. From this point on, Cloud begins to accompany Zack on many missions and start to look up to him as a hero and role model, not unlike Zack looking up to Angeal.

They eventually come up on a Mako Excavation Facility that Zack must infiltrate while Tseng and the troops continue on to Modeoheim. Inside, Zack finds Genesis and Dr. Hollander arguing. He confronts Genesis while Hollander squirms away. Eventually defeating the degrading Genesis, Zack watches while the former SOLDIER lets himself fall into the depths of the reactor. Assuming him dead, Zack hurries after Hollander.

Inside a ruined bath house, Zack finds Hollander and Angeal. He learns here that Angeal's biological father is actually Hollander, who used the late Gillian Hewley as a test subject for Project G. It is also revealed that Angeal did not kill his mother, but that she killed herself. Although Hollander refers to him as the perfect soldier, Angeal refuses this title and, accepting the monstrosities of Project G, renames himself as the "perfect monster". He then fuses with several Angeal copy monsters and becomes Angeal Penance.

Zack is forced to fight and kill Angeal, obtaining the scar on his left cheek. Angeal is left barely alive, and apparently degrading from his wounds. Using his last strength, he hands the Buster Sword to Zack, telling him one final time to remember his dreams and honor in order to be a true member of SOLDIER. Distraught over the death of his mentor and friend, Zack finds comfort in the arms of Aerith, strengthening their relationship to its strongest point. As one of the last 1st Class SOLDIERs, and with the war with Genesis considered over, Zack takes over Angeal's job of being the emotional heart of the organization. He meets another SOLDIER member named Luxiere, who also looks up to him as a role model, and constantly sends Zack mail, as he is inspired by Zack's speech to the Shinra troops he commands.

As Cloud wanders off towards Midgar, Zack looks at the sky as the sun begins emerge and shine, remembering how scared Aerith was of such a beautiful thing. He then sees Angeal descending from the sky, two white wings outstretched, finally a free spirit. Zack says that he wants Angeal's wings too and takes Angeal's outstretched hand, proceeding thus into the Lifestream. As Cloud continues on his journey, Zack tells him to say hi to Aerith for him, and then asks the question "Hey, would you say I became a hero?" echoing his once called "unattainable" dream of becoming a hero.

"Angeal, what happened to honor!?"[/b]
"Sephiroth! Have you completely lost your mind?"[/color]

Minato watched as the young man jumped from the rooftop and landed in front of him. "Is this guy trying to act cool or something?" Minato thought to himself. The man flaunted his cape about and said this was Minato's lucky day. Lucky day? The luckiest thing about today was that nothing was bothering him for once. Well that has obviously changed now. He felt like he was in a manga as he closed his eyes and raised his hand in a high five fashion and said, "Yo," with one of those big beads of sweat on the back of his head. He hoped Kaito understood that Minato wasn't overflowing with excitement to be meeting him. Better than absolutely nobody, so he'd take what he could get.

"The famous Kaito Kid huh?" Minato said questionably. Resting his arms on the bench and bringing his left foot up and resting it on his right knee he seemed to be thinking. He stared at Kaito for a good thirty seconds before responding in a care free manner, "Nope, never heard of you." Even though he never heard of this guy before, Kaito seemed cool, in his own special way. "Well, my name's Minato Arisato. Unlike you, I'm not too famous. Saved the world once though," he said with a smile.

Minato reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of gum, "So," he said before inserting the small, green, rectangle into his mouth,"What's your story? And better question, where are we right now?" Looking at one of the cute little heartless scurrying by he said, "Surely this isn't Earth." He patted the free space on the seat, as if gesturing for Kaito to take a seat.
