Zack is the product of genetic experimentation between a school teacher and a sculpture. By all logic and reckoning, he should be functionless lump of clay with a few thumb prints in the shape of a Z. Despite this, he grew into a triple threat in the theatrical world. He sings, he dances, he acts like he was born to do it. He also pens bittersweet, evocative love songs which he plays in a band with Dezi, Emily, Dan, or Lauren. Not at the same time, however. Should that happen, the very fabric of the cosmos would be compromised by Xen's delight.

Entirely coincidentally, he is also a construction worker and this is the source of much of his income. He is not a cliche.

He burns brightest in the night, silhouetted by the yellow security lights of playgrounds and street lamps.

He loves so fiercely that he uses all of his heart and much of his spleen in the effort. He is currently happily wrestling Cristin to the ground, often in kiddie pools. Jell-o is not generally mentioned but cannot be ruled out for reasons of completeness.

In his free time, he endures strange adventures with Xen and M. He is a good friend to all animals, except Jende Conures. He lives and loves and hopes to become a full time guitarist. No one really knows how one does that, exactly.

He is desperately in love with Cristin.

Rumor has it that he possesses a red wool blanket revealing the exact location of the El Dorado and a birthmark in the shape of Jimmy Hoffa's grave.
