Zen

Zen is a male wolf Keidran and a member of the Boarder Forest Tribe. After the death of their parents at a young age he and his younger sister Natani joined a guild of criminals as a means to survive. The Guild did not expect female members however Zen had helped his sister disguise as a male to let them stay together. During a mission to assassinate a powerful Keidran mage known as Issac, Natani was stuck by a spell that fractured her soul, leaving her completely brain dead, at the expense of Issac's own life. Zen partook in a ritual where he gave up part of his own soul to restore his sister's, binding the two's memories and thoughts together forever, and giving them a strange telepathic link.

After more time working under guild the two siblings were sent to assassinate former Grand Templar Trace Legacy, a mission that would leave Zen injured and the two of them separated. Since the soul link was established Natani began to see himself as more male because of Zen's influence, or so Zen thought, when in fact Natani had felt that way for a long time. During their time apart Natani explored his new gender further, coming to accept his female body while also making his own choice to see himself as male, which Zen was very understanding of, considering him his brother from then on. As of now Zen's future plans are unknown, he was listed as a traitor to both his guild and his kind after helping his brother so there is little for him to return too.

Appearance
Zen appears to be a typical Forest Wolf, covered fully in a coat of brown fur. Like his older brother he also has more human like hair onto of his head as a darker shade of brown. Zen has a pair of plain brown eyes as well.

In terms of clothing Zen is see throughout his earlier appearances dressed in a grey robe, presumably given to him by his guild, as well as a black cloak on top. After healing from his wounds that he sustained in Chapter 7 he returned on a mission to capture Sythe for his mistaken betrayal of the Forest Wolf tribe, here he is seen to guy wear a black hooded robe without his grey robe beneath. After being ambushed by Sythe's companions and tried up they removed him of his robe to reveal a pair of black trousers beneath, since then he has just remained shirtless in just those since his chest is covered in fur anyways.

Chapter 7
On a mission to assassinate Trace and Flora, Zen was stabbed by Keith through the chest with a sword, but he later healed after nearly dying.

Chapter 9
Zen is seen in a flashback from Natani, taking place shortly after their parents were killed. Natani is sat crying wondering what they should do when Zen comes over to berate her about being so emotional and that she needs to understand that their mom and dad aren't coming back. Reflecting on her brother's words after the flashback Natani promises not to let emotions get the better of her, this conversation might be one of the main reasons Natani chose to consider changing her gender, as he needed to be strong and that women are only weak.

Zen is then seen briefly later on taking to Natani via their telepathic link, he informs Natani that the wolves have killed the Human king and that the humans are not as strong as they think

Chapter 17
After Zen was captured by the group and then shackled with Raine's Magic Inhibiting Slave Bracelet, forcibly severing the connection to Natani, resulting in him collapsing into unconsciousness.

Chapter 18
In Natani's mindscape, "Young Natani" reveals that because Zen is protective of Natani, the only family he has left, part of him will always see Natani as, again, his "helpless baby sister", which is why Natani was always afraid it was Zen who had made him the way he was. In reality, it was from 'his soul' all along.

Personality
Zen is a fairly carefree person. He doesn't take many things seriously, even when he is in obvious danger. Even after he was injured when fighting Trace (being stabbed through the chest mind you), Zen spent a lot of his recovery time teasing Natani about Keith. When he failed in assassinating Team B and Sythe was debating with Raine on what to do with him, he still doesn't seem too worried about it, keeping his wits about him and managing to keep himself alive. During the Dragon Masquerade, Zen was actually pretty happy to be there, thinking of all the people they could steal from and playing with a wolf mask.

Naturally as Natani is the only family he has left, he is very protective of him. Any time Natani is in danger, Zen is right there to help. When Natani was hit by the soul splitting spell from their assassination target, Zen was willing to sacrifice anything to save him. With Keith and Natani now effectively a thing, Zen took a moment to threaten Keith, intent on doing harm should the Basitin abuse his brothers trust.

Soul Link
Zen and Natani are permanently linked via their souls. With this link, the two were bonded in amazing ways. The two could speak to each other mentally over vast distances with seemingly no limit, even appear corporeally. They can read each others minds and experience the others feelings, physical or emotional. When the two are perfectly in sync, they can really do some damage.

Trivia

 * Zen is the confirmed tallest character out of any Keidran or Human with a height of 6'5", and the second tallest of all humanoid characters, only beaten by the Basitin King, Jade Adelaide at 7'2". However some characters without a confirmed height such as Brutus may in fact be slightly taller than Zen.
 * Zen seems to be able to speak Human. During the Dragon Masquerade comic, Zen was able to hold conversation with Saria au Gruhen
