After his wife and son were both killed in a car accident, he has become narrow-minded when interacting with others, constantly judging people. Being one of the only cops in the town has made him very arrogant, leaning towards annoying in some instances. He works hard, and honors the memory of the family he lost.

He loved the wide open spaces of the town, and his parents trusted him more than if he grew up in the city. At the age of 10, he was allowed to wander around the town on his own. His life was fantastic, he enjoyed it, and lived life to the fullest. His life changed when he met Terra Baxter. She was the same age as him, and moved into town from Seattle when he was fourteen years old. He fell head over heels for her, and they became the talk of the school. You could never see one without the other. They were inseparable, and Zach believed that he had found the love of his life. The two of them were the top of their class when they graduated, and she even went with him to the University of Washington, just so that they could be together. When they were 21, Zachary asked her to marry him, and they got married a year later. After college, they moved into a house on Stealth Road, hoping to start a family of their own. On their second anniversary, Terra surprised him, and told him that she was pregnant. It was the best day of his life, when on March 8th, they had their son Travis. Zachary played with the boy, watched him grow. He tossed a football, went to school events, and was almost always with his son. They were a happy family, and celebrated the day that Zach was made sheriff of the town. They took vacations, and their lives were perfect. Until the day that Travis turned 7 years old. It was a day like any other. Zach was at work, but was going to get off early to head home for a birthday celebration. He was getting ready to leave, when a 911 call came in, a car accident on the nearby highway. Zach decided to answer the call, he had enough time to go, and then head home. When he arrived at the scene, he saw a familiar car. It belonged to his wife. After several hours, the cause of the accident was determined. A teenager had been speeding along the road, when they crossed the center line and hit the car coming the otherway. He lost his family that day, and he eventually learned that the teenager had survived, and was healing remarkably quickly. That was the first time that he noticed something strange in the town, and he changed that day, the day 2 years before the apocalypse. [b][color=9e0b0f]Life Leading Up To the Apocalypse [/color][/b] Ever since his family was killed, he has been trying to track anything strange that was going on in the world. He setup a board in his living room where he posts anything strange, news articles, photographs, anything. He has strings attached to every item, connecting them to each other. He still lives in Altsoba, and still works as the sheriff. He works hard to protect the normal citizens of the town, and hopes to keep working to help the town.
