Biography:
In a doomed world hurtling towards annihilation, the resurrected Giants made a last ditch attempt at survival. They and their collaborators retrieved an object from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Galaxy - the remnants of a fallen God-approximate, the Akashic Record Management System. Through combining this extrordinarily powerful device with the Sphere of the Dreaming Twin Fishes, they attempted to lengthen the amount of time they had to develop further countermeasures against the advance of Kali Yuga.
However...
Their plan failed. The System rebelled, haphazardly copying whatever data was closest at hand into a farcical approximation of a human being, as well as the most prominent mobile weapon in the Giants' memory: the Zelvoid. So it was that Ze'ev Yarad came into the world, only half-aware of his purpose, surrounded by enemies, yet guided by an unbreakable faith in destiny, in an impossible dream. In a daring escape, Ze'ev fled the Giants - but not before being cursed to eventually return to their grasp. The memory of this day drives his every step, pushing him to ever higher heights to defy his fate - a quality that allows him to resonate powerfully with the Pisces Sphere.
At first seeking to use the Twelve Spheres to halt the approach of Kali Yuga, Ze'ev's encounter with James Steelheart and Black Charisma led to him being guided down a different path, one that flung him into the past, where Kali Yuga had yet to materialize. Determined to prevent the chain of events that led to the apocalypse, he set about with reckless abandon causing havok, to the extent of even inviting the wrath of the Einst upon the world, but eventually overstepped his capabilities, and was brought to heel as the servant of Aberon, himself a fallen deity seeking to regain his power. Ze'ev befriended the Crescentian Sedna, whose aid he enlisted in gathering the twelve in this world - and who is the closest thing he, an incomplete being, could call a friend.
Following a near-death encounter with James Steelheart, Ze'ev began to pursue the remaining Spheres with single-minded intensity. He acquired the Swaying Scales from the maneater Chokijin KyuKiOh with Sedna's aid, the Wounded Lion from Adrian in a duel on the Lunar Surface, and the Standing Archer from a pre-planned murder that made use of all of his prior achievements.
With the Akashic Record Management System now fully repaired, Ze'ev has been imbued with tremendous power, as well as newfound humanity. Only time will tell whether he will use it for good...
Or for his own selfish gain.
Affiliation: Independent
Combat Style: Predator
Strengths: Ze'ev makes full use of the capabilities of his Sphere, as well as Shurouga's vast array of abilities, to carefully plan ambushes and opportunistic strikes that hit his foe fast, hard, and when they are most unawares. Greatly resourceful, he maximizes even the smallest advantages in combat, using his blistering speed and mastery of Shurouga's arsenal to whittle down even the most stalwart of foes.
Weaknesses: If he overswings, Ze'ev often has difficulty mustering reversals. Although his regeneration ability is top notch, he relies heavily on his acquired Spheres to make up for his deficiencies in being on the defensive. He has a tendency to rely on his Sphere to predict the future, and if it gives him a dire prediction, there is little he can do to prevent it. Lastly, his tendency to fight and operate alone estranges him from potential allies - something with lethal consequences on the battlefield.
