|Profile=As the last living remnant of a powerful family of vampire hunters, Zero is a young man whose life has been plagued with tragedy, loss, and absurd volumes of high school social drama. As an act of revenge against his family, Zero was transformed into a vampire as a boy, leaving behind a bundle of issues that would surely have been worse if not for Yuuki's efforts to ease his suffering during their childhood. A composed, intimidating exterior conceals a deeply wounded, but kind person who has become mired in hatred and resentment that does not altogether exclude Zero himself, or his loved ones. The revelation of Yuuki's origin as a pureblood shook him deeply, and he has immersed himself in his career as a vampire hunter ever since. Trained from a young age to hunt monsters and transformed into one himself, Zero is not only as adept as a professional soldier but also monstrously physically powerful. With his handgun Bloody Rose, he wades through foes like a demigod wreathed in thorny vines, unmatched by all but the most absurd enemies.

|Disadvantages=Dead Man's Mien: Zero has lived his life waiting to die. He speaks brusquely and without restraint for the sake of social mores or any other courtesy, and places little immediate value on his own existence in his actions. This shouldn't be mistaken as a death wish, but the effects aren't much different. In social situations he's unpleasant to deal with, and overall he's strongly inclined to over-reactionary or impulsive behavior.

Vampiric Urges: Though he hides and suppresses his vampirism, Zero can't completely escape the physical realities of his condition and he neglects those realities more often than he doesn't. He suffers debilitatingly painful episodes when he doesn't drink blood, which is basically all the time. Blood tablets keep him from attacking people outright, but sites of bloodshed can distract and befuddle his senses. He spends most of his time in a hazy state of deleterious physical symptoms that superficially resemble flu symptoms. Needless to say, on top of everything else all of this makes his already awful temperament even less tolerable.

Hunter's Brand: A tattoo on Zero's neck that helps suppress his vampiric nature. It's also a binding agent. A bracelet held by Yuuki Kuran has the ability to immobilize Zero by pressing the bracelet to the tattoo. It doesn't harm him by itself, but it does render him helpless until cancelled.

=Miscellaneous Information=

* Zero's status as a vampire is privileged information, though not as locked down as some secrets. It's available to '''Concord Medical personnel''', but much like real life medical records accessing or discussing it outside of a need-to-know basis would be pretty illegal.

* Zero's attitude towards children is visibly more agreeable than with other adults.
