==History==
==In the movies==
Six years prior to the events of the movie, Zero was [[Newton Graceland]]'s student in researching the [[Reverse World]]. They discovered a way to travel there, and after meeting {{mov|Giratina}}, they decided to find a way to obtain Giratina's power for themselves. This led to Newton inventing [[Megarig|a device]] that could copy Giratina's powers, but when he realized using it would inflict fatal damage on Giratina, he deleted the design plans despite Zero's vehement disagreement. Following their falling-out, Zero went out on his own and reconstructed the Megarig from what he could remember of the lost blueprints.

==Character==
===Character===
Zero is brilliant, but troubled. He is emotionally unstable, obsessive, and narcissistic, simultaneously seeing himself as having a righteous cause in protecting the Reverse World but also viewing himself as its king. For most of the movie, he is calm and conducts his plan with great confidence, but as he encounters mounting opposition, he gradually loses his composure until he is reduced to a screaming, maniacal wreck. After realizing his defeat, however, he eventually accepts his fate with dignity and willingly goes to prison, where he is later seen to have recovered significantly.

In the dub, he is suggested to have a photographic memory. This line is not present in the Japanese version; instead, it is merely suggested that he obsessively rebuilt the Megarig using as much of Newton Graceland's original design as he could.
