Sons of Calydon is a biker gang led by Caesar King that operates in the Outer Ring of New Eridu. Their official business name as a logistics company is Leaps and Bounds Express Services Co.. Blazewood is the base of operations for the Sons of Calydon faction. Its residents are a mix of townsfolk and bikers.

At the start of Tour de Inferno (A), they are the most powerful gang in the region, with their leader Pompey holding the title of Overlord. They are the rivals of the Sons of Calydon, with the two gangs competing for leadership in the Tour de Inferno race.

By the end of Tour de Inferno (B), the Vanquishers are no longer in power due to the death of Pompey, with Caesar King standing in as interim Overlord.

[Real Name:Caesar King Brief Name:Caesar Gender:Female Height:176cm (5'9") Birthday:March 16th Species: Human Model Type:Tall Female Relatives:Caesar's father (Father), Caesar's mother (Mother, deceased), Big Daddy(Caretaker) Apperance: tall, muscular woman with short blonde hair and golden eyes. She wears a spiked black biker jacket, crop top, rugged pants, and heavy boots. Her most striking feature is her huge mechanical right arm, built by Billy Kid, glowing with red energy. She has a fierce, commanding presence like a true gang leader. History:Caesar King is the daughter of the founder of the biker gang "Calydon."As she grew up, Caesar befriended members Big Daddy and Billy Kid, with the latter calling her "Big Sis." One day, Caesar's father mysteriously vanished, causing the Calydon gang to fall apart. Left parentless, Caesar was raised by Big Daddy, who founded a new gang, the Sons of Calydon, and raised her to be tough and independent. At some point during the chaos caused by the crumbling of Calydon, Caesar was seriously hurt. Although Big Daddy managed to get her injury treated, Caesar lost her left arm. Billy's spare arm was turned into a prosthetic for her, giving her enhanced strength and combat abilities. She initially had a hard time controlling her new strength, gaining the nickname "King Wreck-It" from Burnice and Piper because of how often she broke things. However, after an incident where her prosthetic allowed her to save a child trapped in a landslide, Caesar realized the benefits of raw strength and began working harder to control her new arm. Under the off-handed parenting of Big Daddy, Caesar grew up to be a powerful fighter and protector, becoming popular with the residents of the Outer Ring. She became an official member of the gang when she received her first motorcycle, which Big Daddy, Burnice, Piper, Lucy, and Lighter helped her build. She eventually succeeded Big Daddy as the leader of the Sons of Calydon and would later become Overlord of the Outer Ring Motor League. Agent Weapon: Ether Alloy Sword: Veni, Exotic Ether Alloy Shield: Vidi Big Daddy once hired a particularly skilled group of wanderers at a high price, determined to teach Caesar how to fight with a sword and a round shield. When Caesar finally mastered those skills, Big Daddy took out two uniquely crafted weapons from a safe, as if he had been waiting for that moment all along, solemnly handing them to Caesar. Impressions: It seems like we now know more about Caesar's... weakness? It feels like we're not just Caesar's friend, but also comrades in hardship...? I always feel more relaxed with Caesar. That's just how it is between "buddies." Agent Details: Caesar: Leader of the Sons of Calydon biker gang, and also a "monarch" in the making. Her combination of formidable strength and bold, straightforward personality has earned her the love and respect of the Outer Ring's residents. Although she appears to do things in her own way, she is actually very willing to listen to others' opinions. Caesar actively listens to and implements any valid suggestion she hears — regardless of who it comes from. She is completely defenseless against those she trusts. Once she accepts someone, she considers them part of her inner circle, treating them with absolute trust. Caesar's father has been missing for as long as she can remember, and her mother passed away from illness when she was young. She was raised by Big Daddy, who took a very hands-off approach to raising her, allowing her to grow up freely and independently. In addition, Caesar seems to have a curious interest in matters related to romance. Caesar's father was the leader of a biker gang called "Calydon," which carved out a legendary reputation in the Outer Ring. The "Sons of Calydon" take their name from this legacy.Caesar has a fear of needles.]

[Real Name:Burnice White Brief Name:Burnice Gender:Female Height:160cm (5'3") Birthday:May 23rd Species:Human Model Type:Medium Female Appearance. Burnice is a cute girl with fair skin light blonde hair styled into high twin tails and red eyes. She has a cropped black jacket with metal studs and red detailing over a graphic crop top, exposing her midriff Profile:Mixologist, fuel chemist, pyromaniac. Burnice White can be considered the jack of all-trade of the Sons of Calydon. From creating the special fuel the gang uses for their machinery, to serving up exotic cocktails; both utilizing her favorite drink: Nitro-Fuel, and in-Hollow combat, where she fights up close or from mid-range with her personally made flamethrowers, Mixer and Shaker. Personality-wise, Burnice is an overly enthusiastic, eccentric, outgoing, optimistic and friendly kind of woman. She seems not to fully hate anyone and usually befriends those she's fighting with. Burnice is also shown to have some immense luck on her side. From being able to survive being majorly harmed by explosives at close range, to winning three million Dennies in the lottery. Agent Weapon: Mixer and Shaker An old-fashioned device obtained from Badger's Respite which has been modified into a pair of handy, eye-catching weapons. Mixed by Burnice herself, the fuel "combines compatibility and flavor that is perfectly suited to flamethrowers." That's exactly how she said it.

Impressions: Burnice enthusiastically takes care of her companions... maybe a little too enthusiastically. Dogs love her... Not surprisingly, really. Burnice gets into trouble sometimes, but she always manages to get out of it. It's like the universe is on her side. Agent Details: Burnice, the Nitro-Fuel bartender for the Sons of Calydon. A hopeless fuel lover. She is responsible for all the fuel used by the machinery owned by the Sons of Calydon. She seems to have a passion for fuel that overwhelms all else. Burnice is super outgoing, friendly, and carefree. She is easily able to spread her emotions to the people around her, bringing them the same optimism she possesses. "You like the drinks I mix? Thank you! Steeltusk does, too~ That big guy can drink two hundred liters in one go!" "Do you wanna try its special fuel blend? It's suuuuper hot!"]

[REAL NAME:Luciana Auxesis Theodoro de Montefio BRIEF NAME:Lucy GENDER:Female HEIGHT:152cm (5'0") BIRTHDAY:August 14th SPECIES:Human MODEL TYPE:Small Female AFFILIATION:Celestia School for Girls (Formerly) RELATIVES:Montefio Family (Ancestry), Mr. Montefio (Father), Mrs. Montefio (Mother) Appearance:red eyes, blonde hair, long hair, side ponytail, helmet, black headwear, mask around neck, black jacket, open jacket, cropped jacket, crop top, torn clothes, midriff, navel, long sleeves, black gloves, belt, short shorts, black shorts, denim shorts, fur trim, chain, black footwear, knee boots, high heel boots, Weapon:Spiked baseball bat and her boars Profile:Luciana de Montefio, whose full name is Luciana Auxesis Theodoro de Montefio, is the daughter of the current head of the prestigious New Eridu Montefio family.Her personality is usually akin to that of a tsundere, seemingly acting harsh when she actually is compassionate and kind underneath, which may have been caused by her severed family ties and Outer Ring life. Referring to herself as solely Lucy, due to her real name being far too long and not wanting to be involved with her family, she now performs the role of "Boar Thiren Overseer" for the "Leaps and Bounds Express Services Co.," a name used by the Sons of Calydon for their official logistics business. Due to Lucy being considered a missing person, with there being a sizable reward for her safe return to her family, she prefers to stay in the Outer Ring, seldomly returning to the city. Despite Lucy's best efforts, however, her father is aware of her whereabouts, believing that she will return home by herself at some point, as he himself went through a rebellious phase and ran away from home for over a decade, before eventually returning to don the mantle of the family business and responsibilities.Lucy currently spends a lot of her time challenging Caesar King to duels,in the hopes of one day ruling the Outer Ring herself. However, deep down inside she actually cares for her, although she prefers to hide it, feeling flustered if confronted. History:Despite belonging to an extremely wealthy family where everything was laid-out for her and provided for her, whether it be a proper education or piano lessons, the one thing Lucy truly desired was the freedom to live her life how she pleased. After taking an Ether Aptitude Test that came back remarkably high, she professed that she wished to become a Hollow Investigator, only to be met with refusal, harsh words, isolation and confinement, and emotional abuse from her family, which led to her deciding to leave to find her own freedom. She ended up devising a plan, whereby she would fall victim to a kidnapping of her own creation, in order to create an opening for her to flee her current situation. This plan never came to fruition, however, as Caesar King from the Sons of Calydon would end up defeating the faux kidnappers and "saving" her in the process. From that point on, Lucy vowed to become a fully-fledged member of the Sons of Calydon herself. Impressions: Never underestimate Lucy's competitiveness. Lucy's family drama sure is wild For the stars of the Outer Ring... and chip freedom! Agent Details:Lucy is currently in charge of outgoing business and managing boars for the Sons of Calydon. Since her name is far too long and she doesn't want to be involved with her family, she refers to herself as just "Lucy" in the Outer Ring. Her three boars are called Grassy, Woody, and Bricky, and they're unceasingly loyal to her. Though Lucy often speaks with a mixture of rough and elegant language, her actions subtly betray the marks of a proper education. Lucy's family is incredibly wealthy. She grew up very privileged, with anything she could ever want within grasp... except for freedom. After her Ether Aptitude test results came back high, Lucy decided she wanted to be a Hollow Investigator, but her family disapproved. She was met with harsh words, isolation and confinement, and emotional abuse which led to her deciding to leave to find her own freedom. "Hmph! There's no chance I'll ever go back! If I'm found... then I can say goodbye to the stars and sky and I'll have to inherit the family business instead!" Lucy is extremely competitive. She loves to win and hates losing. Currently, the one who has given her the most bitter taste of defeat is Caesar, so Lucy keeps challenging Caesar to duels, losing then challenging again, challenging then losing again.

The way Lucy joined the Sons of Calydon was both comedic and dramatic. To run away from home, she hired some "kidnappers" and devised a kidnapping for herself. Yet, this plan was accidentally screwed up by the Sons of Calydon — Caesar defeated all the "kidnappers" and saved their "victim." According to eye-witness testimony, the sight of Caesar crashing straight through the door on her ride with the sunlight behind her left quite the impression on Lucy. "That was when I saw it — freedom." From then on, Lucy stuck with Caesar, eager to join the Sons of Calydon.]

[REAL NAME:Piper Wheel BRIEF NAME:Piper GENDER:Female HEIGHT:151cm (4'11") BIRTHDAY:October 21st SPECIES:Human MODEL TYPE:Small Female Appearance:long hair, messy hair, blonde hair, green eyes, topknot, hair ornament, detached sleeves, orange gloves, tube top, Goggles Around Neck, shorts, chaps, Detached Leggings, strap Weapon: a very large sledgehammer Impressions:Is her personality like a middle-aged man cause she drives a truck? Or does she drive a truck because her personality is like a middle-aged man? Piper seems to be really lucky... Maybe it'll rub off if we hang out with her more. Someone who says that people have to look forward must have some reason they're unwilling to look back. Agent Details:Piper is a truck driver for the Sons of Calydon. Apart from driving, she's also responsible for vehicle maintenance and other related jobs. Her tiny stature, cute voice (though she always seems half-asleep when not driving), and adorably harmless appearance (though she's a shut-in who can't be bothered to take care of her own appearance) make it hard to imagine that she would have such a crazy driving style. Usually, by the time she drawls out, "Hold~ on~ tight~," the truck is already barreling down the road. Rumor has it, Piper is a driver who doesn't need brakes. Though riding with her is a terrifying experience, she will always get you where you need to go safely, and in the shortest time possible. Of course, "safely" doesn't include any trauma that may be induced. Piper has many hobbies that don't seem to match her age, such as reading newspapers, buying lottery tickets, and collecting car magazines. Piper's biggest wish is to live each day slowly and leisurely. Note: Please keep in mind, Master, that this is also my wish. Piper has a love for the sound of truck engines starting up, so she recorded the sound of Steeltusk starting up. She has to listen to the recording to fully wake up in the morning. If Piper falls asleep during a meeting, playing a recording of a truck engine can quickly get her wide awake again (this intel was provided by Lucy).]

[Lighter GENDER:Male HEIGHT:185cm (6'1") BIRTHDAY:December 27th SPECIES:Human MODEL TYPE:Medium Male Apperance:dark-green eyes, black hair, dark-blue hair, dark-green hair, gradient hair, hair over one eye, black jacket, red scarf, black gloves, green pants, AVIATOR GLASSES Profile: The "Red Scarf" and Champion of the Sons of Calydon, Lighter is an incredibly skilled fighter having experience from his time as a mercenary and underground fighter. Armed with an engine powered gauntlet, his duty is to fight the Champions of other biker gangs, a task he excels in, given he calls himself "the undefeated Champion." According to Lighter himself, he is hemophobic, fainting from just the sight of blood. To counter this, he always wears a pair of sunglasses, which also help him manage an old eye injury from his fighting days. History: Lighter used to be a mercenary. He founded a company with other three mercenaries, Dane Driscoll, Nick Carmine, and Ratena Katherine, with Lighter as their leader. He became close with each member and their families, but due to his poor judgement, his comrades died, leaving Lighter as the sole survivor. Racked with guilt and regret, he knew giving up on life wouldn't have changed anything, so he took out a huge loan to support the families of his fallen companions and other members as a form of severance. Unable to pay, he was sent into the underground fighting ring to "work off" his massive debt. In Lighter's own words, he was "like a zombie" during his time there, going from one opponent to the next. Notably, one of these fighters was Bellum, who proclaimed Lighter as his rival after he broke his twenty win streak. Things changed when Big Daddy, then leader of the Sons of Calydon, paid off Lighter's debt and took him in, since he was a "high-profile fighter" that rarely lost. At first, Lighter considered the biker gang to be just another boxing show, but over time he became close with all the members and genuinely wanted to protect them and not lose any more friends. Billy Kid, the previous Red Scarf and Champion for the gang, was yet to leave the gang at the time, and Lighter still teasingly refers to him as his "Brother" and "Predecessor." Agent Weapon: Combustion Gauntlet: Spark A custom-made gauntlet ordered by Big Daddy, paid for by Lucy, powered by a special fuel developed by Burnice, transported by Piper and tuned by Caesar. With a built-in engine that boosts Lighter's punching power, it makes his heavy punches unstoppable. Impressions: So... how many people has Lighter defeated? His shades make him look cool, but also bring trouble. I hope time heals all wounds. Agent Details: Lighter, the Champion of the Sons of Calydon and an ex-mercenary. In the Outer Ring, the Champion of a team refers to the one responsible for dealing with the opponent's strongest fighter in a gang fight, and they often need to participate in one-on-one duels. Their victory is crucial, as it brings glory and morale to the entire team. "The Champion can perish, but cannot lose." A red scarf is what identifies the Champion of the Sons of Calydon. Even if the opponent doesn't know Lighter, they'll know who he is just from seeing that red scarf. From what is currently known, Lighter is actually very low profile. He only steals the spotlight on the battlefield when he acts on his obligations as Champion. Lighter was once the leader of a mercenary troupe. After a certain accident, Lighter disbanded his group of mercenaries and ended up in serious debt. Lighter chose to fight in an underground arena to pay back what he owed. Later, Lighter was discovered by Big Daddy, who paid a huge sum to hire him to join the Sons of Calydon and take Billy's previous position.]

[Real Name:Pulchra Fellini Brief Name:Pulchra Gender:Female Height:173cm (5'8") Birthday:June 19th Species:Thiren (Cat) Model Type:Tall Female Affiliation:The Vanquishers (temporary hire) Apperance:animal ears, cat ears, cat girl, cat tail, fluffy tail, furry, furry female, long hair, green eyes, slit pupils, mature female, large breasts, 3d mask, mouth mask, shirt, white shirt, cleavage, tank top, jacket, long sleeves, midriff, navel, shorts, denim, belt, Profile:Pulchra is an Outer Ring mercenary whose loyalty constantly fluctuates depending on who she deems the strongest. After several run-ins with the Sons of Calydon, she gained respect for the gang and began to reconsider her temporary allegiance with The Vanquishers. After Caesar King rose to power as Overlord, Pulchra finally decided to join the Sons of Calydon, becoming an intel gatherer for the gang. Though a seemingly loyal member of the gang, Pulchra merely tolerates each of the members, especially Burnice White, whose overly-affectionate personality and semi-obliviousness to common courtesy clashes greatly with Pulchra's own personality. In combat, Pulchra fights with a pair of "Bladeguns" (which appear as revolvers with blades on the grip) and an array of gadgets, including stun grenades, explosives and reflex-enhancing tonics. Pulchra wears a special respirator mask that blocks out Ether particles and pollen, whilst also protecting her from the gazes of others, she rarely takes off this mask, even wearing it around New Eridu. History:Pulchra Fellini grew up poor in the Outer Ring with her only friend, Milena, a fellow Thiren. The two dreamed of city life but became mercenaries instead. After forming a group together, Milena betrayed Pulchra—stealing their funds to start a new life and leaving Pulchra with crippling debt. Pulchra became a selfish mercenary, focused only on survival. Hired by Lucius of the Vanquishers, she sabotaged the Sons of Calydon and even trapped Burnice in an explosion, but after losing twice to them, she recognized their strength. Later, with little work and unstable income, she accepted an offer to join the Sons of Calydon as an intelligence gatherer. Though placed on probation, her “errands” turned out to be a welcome ritual. Despite calling them idiots, Pulchra was glad to finally find new friends. Impressions: For Pulchra, the distinction between enemies and friends is irrelevant; they're simply temporary roles determined by her current job. She seems to care about nothing beyond her own interests, but perhaps it's all just an act? Someone still lingers in her memories to this day. Is it a beautiful past, or a nightmare? Agent Details:Pulchra, formerly a mercenary from the Outer Ring, is now a member of the Sons of Calydon. She works as an ordinary employee at the logistics company Leaps and Bounds. Warning: Financial transactions have been detected between Pulchra and several biker and criminal gangs from the Outer Ring. These records have reduced since joining the Sons of Calydon, but there has been a large increase in funds transferred from New Eridu. This is likely because Pulchra's new position allows for easier access to New Eridu. Further information indicates Pulchra has indirect involvement in several major events in the Outer Ring, including but not limited to: gang conflicts, leaks of crucial convoy supply intel, mysterious road damage, and price surges of essential goods... Pulchra does not have deep connections with Lucius, and there is no current risk of her being an insider for any other biker gangs. However, her interpersonal network is highly complicated. Caution is advised when interacting with her, especially in protecting personal privacy. Employment records for Pulchra were found for two Outer Ring mercenary groups that disbanded years ago. She was hired alongside a young woman named Milena, but her records completely vanished about eight years ago. Around eight years ago, Pulchra briefly formed a small mercenary group, but no records were found regarding the team members or the reason for its dissolution. Her personal career suddenly began to take off after this.]

HOLLOWS: Hollows in Zenless Zone Zero are chaotic, otherworldly dimensions that appear without warning, consuming parts of the real world. Inside, they’re filled with warped landscapes, Ether-based monsters called Ethereals, and deadly Ether corruption that can mutate or kill living beings. Despite the dangers, explorers—often guided by Proxies—enter Hollows for resources, wealth, or research. The city of New Eridu survives by extracting Ether from Hollows, turning the threat into an energy source, though tensions brew between corporations, gangs, and lawless raiders. Hollows vary in size, from massive anomalies like Hollow Zero to smaller Companion Hollows, and remain one of the greatest dangers and opportunities in the post-apocalyptic world.
