His father worked at the "Dutiful Sisters of Edelweiss" to help support them as he raised him. His fathe talked about his mother frequently mentioning she was a blacksmith with a spiky personality that matched her cute physique.

Building and repairing ships helping out with planning routes trained him in Carpentry, Navigating, and Blacksmithing. He even got to experience working on a merchant vessel at the age of 15. Seeing the income the vessel pulled in however made him have bigger aspirations. "These guys are making a fortune with just trinkets and goods. Yet lose a lot of profit by buying boats like this.... What if i made the boat itself and sold from it?!" First he made practice conning and learning how to properly trade goods for funds from the Lalafel merchant Ukanna Ultalto. Soon he got in the habit of trading wares and haggling while he traveled as a ship hand from boat to boat. Soon at the age of 18 he had his own small fortune to his name of 184,000 Gil that he decided to train to become an adventure. "With this I could earn even more profits....and be strong enough to rid those thorn of Limsa's side..." He decided he still didn't want anything to do with the rouge's guild for now even though had had a lot of experience with them as a kid. First enlisting in the Marauders guild he started using his already ship forged body to train his physical prowess using his free time to sit in the Arcanist library to study formulas, and calculations of the guild. In the middle of his 18 year he soon graduated as an accomplished Maurader with his biggest mark being a full grown buffalo which he took on with two allies from the Maruaders guild.

He read a flyer while in Ul'dah advertising recruitment for the battle. Seeing the hefty reward he volunteered under Limsa's colors as an mercenary. He fought and took down 27 Garleans using his Axe and basic Arcane incantations as he held his own. During Dalamund descent was his downfall. Ge was horrible injured due to his inexperience taking 2 heavy blows,, a gun shot to his side and magic ice bolt to his chest as well. Bloodied and injured he lied on the battle field as Bahamut spread his wrath across the land. He lied upon the ground feeling his entire body fade away to unconsciousness whispering "This....is it?....I barely began to hope....for a better future....guess I'm hopeless.....case...father" Right as he said this Louisoix teleported all the remaining heroes away. Zachary being on death's door made him relive the moment for what felt like a eternity inside the time-space.

"Greetin's to ye, mate." Baderon told Zachary about the adventurer's guild in which he could get work also explaining the last five years" W-warriors of ...light?..."
