Zachary/Zach is the son of Iphedia’s captain of the guard. He’d always wanted to be a guard just like his father, so he trained as hard as he could. But, at age 18, when Keira first arrived at the village, his father made him stay behind while he went on to train cadets at the guard academy. Zach was mad at first, but as he kept helping out Keira with “discovering herself”, he came to enjoy her company, and the two became close friends. However, because of Keira’s oblivious nature and kind-heartedness, she is completely unaware of how Zach feels about her.
