About
Zachary is a species known as Valkyrie, selectively found in the Kingdom of Embala, a sealed off universe with little to no Gate barrier activity. He however, has no apparent memory of the world his originated from, or the species he actually is. It was learned only later by a group of dimension-jumping black market hunters that he was a Valkyrie, after being captured and scanned. The hunters had been looking for a Valkyrie for ages, claiming "After the barriers stopped opening in Embala, the demand for Valkyrie feathers grew.  Zachary, with no idea of the danger he had actually been put in, only barely managed an escape with the help of Leslie. The scan later revealed that Zachary was only half-Valkyrie, making the hunters diminish their pursuit on him, calling it "a waste of time for feathers of a half-breed," claiming that "No one desperate enough to buy would purchase inauthentic goods without knowing the difference." The hunters only pursue him later in the series after receiving a tip off that a certain person would pay high-dollar for his eyes.

Personality
Zachary is considered to be a rather testy and persistent individual, who often uses sarcasm and remarks to communicate his annoyance of other people. He is stubborn and very temperamental, and often breaks objects in a fit of anger, fueled by the lack of control of his strength. Despite what most of his colleagues will say, he really does take his job as a Guardian seriously, even though he appears lazy and unwilling.

Background Information
Zachary's real name is actually Lev Ivar Kydin, later revealed by his father, Arthur Kydin. He is part of the prestigious Kydin family; one of which belongs to the seven main families of Valkyrie sworn to protect and support the Embalian Royal Family. Zachary's father, however, caused the family to lose most of its respect after he secretly married a human woman, Lisa Hemingsworth. Soon enough, the couple had two children- Zachary, and his younger brother by three years, Andrew.

Zachary's mother was a nursemaid for a local clinic at the time when an outbreak of sickness struck the kingdom, taking her life along with many others. Arthur was left to raise two children on his own, and while dealing with his own duties as head of the Kydin house.
