A citizen of The Oasirian Empire, in exile because of his dangerous experiments and his obsession with opening the doorway to the afterlife (Nether). He believes that people should be able to travel to the afterlife without the hassle of dying. He is waiting for his dead brother to open the doorway to the afterlife which he promised to do so before dying. Zarek doesn't value his life, he finds no interest in living but is also afraid of dying. His character would be about learning to value life.

His intro scene would be of him travelling with a caravan on a desert-variant of sniffer. With some western style music in the background, this part of the scene would solely be for setting the mood. The music stops as he encounters an abandoned in-construction tomb, this is when we see Zarek's face for the first time, he excuses to take a leak. Enters the tomb, explores a bit (I have yet to write this scene) sees that the tomb has been looted away in the Great Squid War. Even the corpse of the deceased is missing, the tombstone has no name on it. 
The scene ends with Zarek giving his respects to the deceased by filling his 'presumed' grave and leaving. As he leaves the tomb the camera zooms out to reveal that he has written his name on the grave
