Background
History : Born as the son of a Tapani Knight (Zakran Kel Isen) and a Famous Chef (Marianna el Fasi), Zechs lived a sheltered life in his father’s estate. Private schooling and just his older sister (Elisia) to interact with gave him a rather odd look upon the world. This was more literal as Zechs had an ocular disease whereby his colorvision was offset, this was corrected by him wearing yellow tinted glass to view the colors in their proper way. As the eldest son, Zechs was expected to follow in his father’s footsteps, in reality he was more interested in his mother’s cooking. When he was old enough to pick up a sword, Zechs was to be trained as a soldier. The one to do it was his father’s friend and his mother’s cousin, Raim el Fasi.
On his 14th birthday it had been decided that Zechs would become a Guard for House Melantha, as his father had been for many years and what had gained him his Knight status in the end. Although Zechs was a good swordsman by now, due to his sheltered life he had little understanding of communication with others and he had little understanding of what it took to be a guard. While he continued his guard training, Zechs’ views slowly changed as he was formed by his instructors. Due to his childhood, Zechs was easy to manipulate and trained. Accepting anything for the truth he would serve as a guard.
Even though Zechs had become a full guard by the age of 16 and a guard captain at the age of 23, he had never lost his love for cooking. People who knew him considered him odd in his ways, and due to his training even his own men weren’t too sure about their commander’s mental state. As a guard, Zechs was of exceptional quality and many noble could probably thank their lives for Zechs’ work.
Aged 25, Zechs’ loyalty was tested. He was asked to cover for one of the higher noble’s misstep. Knowing full well what he was getting into, he accepted the task. Subsequent he was tried by a court and found guilty, and was punished by being banished for the Tapani Sector for 5 years.
Not a bad word was spoken as Zechs departed from his homeworld heading towards the inner core. Upon his arrival their he briefly worked as a merchant, prior to being recruited into the Imperial Republic Army. Due to his upbringing and skill, Zechs was slated to become an officer. In the Caridan Military Academy his instructors saw his potential and although he wasn’t the top of the class, they took a great deal of interest in him due to his malleability. He could easily be directed to a set goal.
