Background: Zach has spent all of his life so far in the Seattle area, where he lives in the suburbs with his mom. After mastering every conceivable hack for his PlayStation 4 and X-Box One, he graduated to building his own supercomputers in his room while covertly hacking other people’s systems for fun, and a little cash on the side. One of his regular clients is the tightly-wound P.I. Valentine Shepherd. Hey, it’s better than working at McDonald’s.
Beneath the Surface: Despite his Goth look, Zach is a good kid who keeps out of trouble in the physical world (the cyber world is another matter…). When he graduates from high school, he plans to work for Google or Microsoft, or maybe another start-up in the area who could use his particular set of skills. Wherever he goes, he needs to stick near his mom. He’s all she has, you know?
Appears in: Retribution
Zach looks positively hackerish, lol. I hope he’s okay though – I haven’t read Reckoning – he’s okay, right? Right??
Hehe…hehehehe…..long live Zach!
I’ll admit, though, I added his character in a later draft of Retribution to fulfil a certain plot function, but he turned into a pretty cool character nonetheless. Maybe I’ll write a spin-off of his exploits!
