Zacharias

Zacharias is a Tiefling Summoner who lived in the Motley Chalet outside Last Mount, running a combat arena known as Zacharias' Coliseum of Delirium.

After aiding the party with the capture of Nyra and Rin, Zacharias became an active party companion. He is primarily utilitary help, with his demi-plane portal being a tool frequently used by the party.

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.

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.

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.

Trivia

 * Zacharias was initially created to explain The Author's origins. However, his interactions with Morgun and the dangers of Last Mount prevented them from having a conversation until 1x10.
 * The Author's origins were eventually revealed in 1x09 with it's conversation with Ara. Zacharias is likely to help bring Symania to the same conclusion, who is currently unaware of the Author's true nature.
 * Zacharias has been shown to have exceptional summoning abilities, including summoning an Aboleth in 1x05 to finish off Rin and Nyra. (a challenge 10 creature).
 * Zacharias claimed he didn't know what would happen if he entered his own demi-plane portal.
