He wears a long grey hooded robe with eye patterns, black pants with belts wrapped around the legs, black armbands and black shoes. Zelkov has a quiet and obsessive personality with many hobbies. He is extremely passionate and always searching for something he can sink his time into. He is an adept learner, able to pick up new hobbies with ease. He is also able to intuit Yunaka's hidden past from observing her behavior based on his own experiences.

He has a tendency to emphasize certain words in his speech in a manner that makes what he says sound profound, though this is not his intention. Despite his dark and mysterious appearance, he is actually very friendly, and likes protecting children. Zelkov is a royal knight of Elusia, and Ivy's retainer. He hails from a wealthy family in an Elusian forest town, with a mother who worked as a trained physician. When he was young, his family was killed by bandits. A decade before the events of the game, he wiped out the bandits and avenged his parents and twin brother; after this, his life felt meaningless, so he took up various hobbies.

Zelkov found his way into service of the Kingdom of Elusia for the Crown Princess Ivy. Under the Fell Dragon Sombron's machinations, Ivy was forced to act on his behalf for the sake of her kingdom, and as her retainer, Zelkov participated in battles for his liege against the recently reawakened Divine Dragon Alear. However, after Sombron was resurrected and King Hyacinth was killed as a pawn in the Fell Dragon's schemes, Ivy defected to Alear's force, bringing Zelkov with her in their service. Zelkov helped Ivy secure two of the Emblem Rings in possession of Elusia and recovered the Draconic Time Crystal for Alear. Zelkov uses daggers as his weapons.
