Backstory: Born in Salem, Massachusetts, grew up with Damian Rhett and hit it off right away. When Damian's dad brought them ice skating, he was not very good at it, but wanted to be Damian's skating partner. At ten, he enrolled beside Damian and just managed to make it in the competitive youth leagues. With intense practice both with and without the team, Zachary managed to become Damian's right defenseman. At the beginning of high school, he came to the realization that he was bisexual, which he was afraid of telling anyone, especially Damian, as he didn't want his best friend to look at him any differently. At 16, he got into his first same-sex relationship, though it was quickly broken off when Zachary wouldn't 'put out', his partner went as far as to hit him and call him a number of slurs, which later caused Zachary to spiral and try to take his own life. He was put in therapy, and put on antidepressants, and has stayed as Damian's right defenseman, after having been side-lined for mental recovery and physical training. Ever since, he's been at Damian's side with young athletes, making sure that they get the mental health they need and to know that they have an ally in him if they ever need one. Plays as a Right defenseman, and often seen as the Specter's laughter, as he's often telling jokes and keeping the team lighthearted, especially when things are rough.
