Zayin is first introduced in a mysterious flashback [[Aleph]] has in [[Valhalla]], in which a [[Mekata|man]] introduces him to Aleph and asks if he remembers his name. If Aleph responds he does, Zayin can be renamed. Otherwise if he responds with no, then he will be told Zayin's name.

Zayin is first met in-person after Aleph searches for the scientist [[Hanada]] by [[Madam]]'s request with the goal of returning both him and [[Hiroko]] to the [[Center]], which causes Aleph to remember his original name. Back at the Center, Zayin recommends that Aleph visit [[Arcadia (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Arcadia]] and visit an old acquaintance, [[Gimmel]].

When Hiroko is sent to the [[Factory (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Factory]]'s prison for breaking the law, Zayin attempts to stop Aleph from rescuing her, believing that the law is absolute despite understanding her reasoning for breaking it. Zayin's allegiance to the Center finally breaks when the [[Center Elders|Elders]] order the fallen angel [[Abaddon]] to swallow Valhalla whole in an attempt to destroy the sector in one fell swoop. He realizes that someone has to stand up against the Center and hijacks the [[Millennium News Network]] to expose the [[Millennium Kingdom]] conspiracy. By revealing to the populace outside of the Center that their lives are worthless to the Elders, he is able to start a rebellion in [[Holytown]]. Their initial goal is to free the [[Factory]] slaves forced to endure to inhumane labor conditions. However, even after being liberated, the workers refuse to leave. Confused by their insistence, Zayin asks Aleph to check out the nearby [[Watchtower]], whereupon it is revealed that the Center have been using [[Siren|demons]] to brainwash the Factory workers. The revelation shocks Zayin at the hypocrisy of the Center and he attempts to defeat the demon, [[Belphegor]], guarding the Watchtower, but fails, barely escaping with his life.

When the Factory workers are finally free, the Center sends Zayin an ultimatum: either surrender himself or the air flow in Holytown will be cut off, suffocating everyone in the area. Zayin agrees to go to the Center, but on his own terms, believing that the ideal of the Millennium Kingdom has been corrupted and that he has to end it himself. However, when Aleph catches up to him, Zayin is found to have been imprisoned through petrification. This leads Aleph to dethrone the Elders in his stead. While their defeat frees Zayin and the populace of Tokyo Millennium, Zayin is left with a bitter-sweet feeling, realizing that there is now no one left to maintain the city. During the conversation, an alarm alerts of an emergency in Holytown. Zayin asks Aleph to check on the settlement in his stead, still too injured to leave.
