Zayin is first met after [[Aleph]] | Zayin is first introduced in a mysterious flashback as "having the greatest power" among you. | ||
He's met for the first time in person after [[Aleph]] searches for the scientist [[Hanada]] for [[Madam]] 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 Aleph visit [[Arcadia]] and visit an old acquaintance [[Gimmel]]. | |||
When Hiroko is sent to the [[Factory|Factory's]] prison for breaking the law, Zayin attempts to stop Aleph from rescuing her, believing that rules and their punishments are absolute, even when someone has understandable reasons for breaking them. After losing, Aleph's resolve convinces him that the Center is fallible and decides to reject their orders if they ever go too far. | When Hiroko is sent to the [[Factory|Factory's]] prison for breaking the law, Zayin attempts to stop Aleph from rescuing her, believing that rules and their punishments are absolute, even when someone has understandable reasons for breaking them.

He realizes that someone has to stand up against the Center and hijacks the [[Millennium News Network]] so he can expose the [[Millennium Kingdom]] conspiracy. By revealing that the lives of everyone outside of the Center is worthless to the Elders, he's able to start a rebellion in [[Holytown]]. Their first goal being to free the [[Factory]] slaves forced to endure to inhumane labor conditions. However, even after being liberated, the workers refuse to leave. Confused, he asks Aleph to check out the nearby [[Watchtower]]. There, its revealed that the Center have been using [[Siren|demons]] to brainwash the Factory workers. Shocked at the hypocrisy of the Center, Zayin attempts to defeat the [[Belphegor|demon]] guarding the Watchtower, but fails, barely escaping with his life. | ||

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 the player catches up to him, Zayin is found already defeated, his body petrified. This leads Aleph to dethrone the Elders in his stead. While their defeat means freedom for the Tokyo Millennium and Zayin himself, he is left with a bitter-sweet feeling, realizing that now there is no one left to maintain the city. During the conversation, an alarm warns of an emergency in Holytown and Zayin asks Aleph to check what's happening for him because he's still injured. | ||

Zayin urges Aleph to reject Lucifer's plans, since he intends to destroy the Tokyo Millennium, which he argues is the only reason humanity has managed to survive through the apocalypse. Zayin asks Aleph to join him in building a true Millennium Kingdom, an ideal world where everyone can live in peace, by killing Lucifer and rebuilding the Tokyo Millennium. If Aleph accepts, Zayin sends him to [[Set's Temple]] in [[Tif'eret]] to spy on Lucifer's minions. If Aleph refuses, he is cast out of Eden. | ||
