"SOLDIER 2nd Class Zack, on the job!"
—Zack Fair

Zack was born in the town of Gongaga, and like many boys of his generation, dreamed of joining SOLDIER to become a 1st Class like the legendary Sephiroth. He left Gongaga and joined the Shinra Electric Power Company's
military forces around the age of 14 in 1997. By October of 2000, he
had reached SOLDIER 2nd Class under the tutelage of SOLDIER 1st Class Angeal Hewley.
Angeal's words of wisdom and strong sense of honor had a profound
effect on Zack, who wanted to be just like his mentor. During his time
in SOLDIER, he became friends with 2nd Class SOLDIER Kunsel, who guided him in the ways of Shinra. Zack works under Director Lazard Deusericus in the 49th Floor of Shinra Headquarters, along with many other SOLDIER members.

[edit] War With Genesis


"Angeal would never betray us! Never!"
—Zack Fair

In Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-,
Zack first appears in a digital training session with Angeal Hewley.
Zack boards a train taken by Wutai troops and manages to seperate the
two trains. Angeal tells him to go towards Sector 8. Zack goes there
and fights a Behemoth,which he easily beats. Zack is then attacked by a
figure, who turns out to be none other than Sephiroth. Sephiroth
overpowers Zack and just as he tries to kill him, Angeal saves him and
ends the training, much to Zack's disappointment. Angeal walks way
saying, "Embrace your dreams and protect your honor as SOLDIER" before
leaving. Despite this, he approves of Zack as a member of SOLDIER, and
requests to Director Lazard that he be promoted to SOLDIER 1st Class
and be sent on his own mission in Wutai
to prove his abilities. Shinra had been at war with Wutai for some time
by now, and SOLDIER 1st Class Sephiroth had already become a hero of
Shinra for his actions there. Though Zack became ecstatic over Angeal's
suggestion, he received some interesting news during the briefing: 1st
Class SOLDIER Genesis Rhapsodos had deserted Shinra, taking an untold number of 2nd and 3rd Class warriors with him.
Angeal and Zack arrive in Wutai and began their walk to the Fort
Tamblin. On the way, Angeal asks Zack if he knows what "dumbapples"
are. Zack reply's no and learns the origin of the Apples and that
Angeal was poor growing up. As they wait for a bomb to go off, Zack
questions Angeal why he never uses his sword, The Buster Sword.
Angeal simply states that "Use brings about wear,tear and rust". The
bomb goes off and Zack jumps down and takes out the forces
singlehandedly. Zack enters a room and is attacked by two anti-soldier
monsters. He defeats them before a third falls. Zack attacks it,and
believes it to be dead.When he turns his back,the monster uses a
backhand slap and sends Zack flying to the wall. Angeal arrives, just
in time, and kills the monster using the Buster Sword right before the
monster finishes Zack off. While heading back to meet with Lazard,
several soldiers attack but Angeal stays behind to deal with them while
Zack gets Lazard to safety and heads back to discover Angeal missing.
Ifrit appears and battles Zack. Once again, Zack falsely believes he
won and gets attacked. Just then, Sephiroth arrives and defeats Ifrit
in one blow. A shocked Zack watches Sephiroth identify the bodies as
copies of Genesis. Realizing that these were the soldiers that Angeal
had last been seen fighting, and that he was nowhere to be seen,
Sephiroth comes to the conclusion that Angeal left with his long-time
friend, Genesis. Zack, however, refuses to believe that his mentor
would ever desert Shinra.
Zack soon is given a new mission by Lazard. He is joined by Tseng of the Turks. In Angeal and Genesis's home town, Banora Village,
Zack and Tseng find a grave and Tseng stays to investigate. Zack heads
into the village and finds only one person, Angeal's mother, Gillian Hewley.
She asks him where Angeal is but Zack says he doesn't know. Zack heads
outside and finds a alternate path that leads to a factory. Inside,
Genesis appears and taunts Zack and injury's Tseng. Angeal arrives and
defends Zack,but soon pushes him away. Tseng soon reveals that due to
the high number of hostiles,several planes are going to bomb banora.
Zack races to save Gillian but finds her dead on the floor, Angeal
standing above her. Thinking Angeal did i, Zack punches him and
questions his honor. Genesis arrives and trips Zack,letting Angeal go.
Genesis summons Bahamut,which
Zack defeats. Zack soon questions Genesis about his honor to which
Genesis reply's that he has no honor. Sprouting a black angel wing,
Genesis fly's off. As Zack heads towards a Shinra Helicon with Tseng in
it,he watches the bombing of Banora and gets on the Helicopter.
In April 2001, Zack is at Shinra Headquarters
when Lazard awards him the title of SOLDIER First Class. Zack is not
happy that he attained his dreams so early, and after so many losses.
At that moment, Genesis's army attacks Midgar, and Zack has to fight
them throughout the city. Along the way, he saves Cissnei, another member of the Turks. Sephiroth and Zack both head to the Sector 5 Reactor to find the rogue Dr. Hollander,
who is suspected of working with Genesis. Zack chases Hollander through
the Reactor until he runs into Angeal, who says that his goals are
world domination and revenge. Sprouting wings, Angeal tells Zack that
he is a monster. Zack replys that he is not a monster because he has
angel wings, and Angeal questions him on his answer. Not satisfied with
his response, Angeal attacks Zack and knocks him back. Refusing to
fight his old friend and mentor, Zack refuses to defend himself from
Angeal's attack. Angeal then uses magic to knock the platform beneath
him away, causing him to fall.

Zack asking Aerith out on a date as repayment for waking him up.



Zack drops through the roof of a church, where Zack meets Aerith Gainsborough.
Grateful to her for saving his life (although she insists that she did
nothing but say, "Hello-o!"), Zack offers to pay Aerith back with one
date. However, Aerith, laughs and calls him silly. Zack sees the
flowers and is impressed,saying that flowers are rarely seen in Midgar.
Zack suggests that Aerith should sell the flowers that grow in the
church. Later on, Zack gets his wallet stolen by a child, and would
eventually find him, only to find that the child's wallet was eaten by
a monster. In generosity, he lets the child keep his wallet in order to
buy some medicine, or you can choose to take the wallet back from the
monsters. That being done, it happens that the kid had a lot more money
in his wallet than in Zack does in his. Zack then buys Aerith the
ribbon that she is seen wearing throughout the series. However, their
date is cut short when Zack has to return to the Midgar Plate to defeat
Genesis. While on route, Angeal lands and explains that he and Zack
must work together. Zack agrees and the two fly off to the Shinra
building. Sephiroth explains that Hollander is most likely after Hojo
due to Hojo taking over his job. Zack arrives and Genesis does as well
as Angeal. Genesis flys out and Angeal grabs Zack and puts him down so
that he can face Bahamut Fury while Angeal deals with Genesis. After the battle, Zack sees Angeal and Genesis gone and once again asks himself where he is.

[edit] Tragedies of Modeoheim


After the Midgar attack, Zack is sent to the mountain town of Modeoheim, with Tseng accompanying him once more, as well as several Shinra infantrymen, one of whom is Cloud Strife.
Their helicopter is shot down by Genesis' troops on the way there, and
the team must hike their way across the snow. Zack and Cloud make
headway fast. When Zack makes the comment that his companion can at
least keep up after seeing how far behind Tseng and the other troops
are, they learn that they are both "country boys" and become immediate
friends. From this point on, Cloud begins to accompany Zack on many
missions and start to look up to him as a hero and role model, not
unlike Zack looking up to Angeal.
They eventually come up on a Mako Excavation Facility that Zack
must infiltrate while Tseng and the troops continue on to Modeoheim.
Inside, Zack finds Genesis and Dr. Hollander arguing. He confronts
Genesis while Hollander squirms away. Eventually defeating the
degrading Genesis, Zack watches while the former SOLDIER lets himself
fall into the depths of the reactor. Assuming him dead, Zack hurries
after Hollander.
Inside a ruined bath house, Zack finds Hollander and Angeal. He
learns here that Angeal's biological father is actually Hollander, who
used the late Gillian Hewley as a test subject for Project G. It is
also revealed that Angeal did not kill his mother, but that she killed
herself. Although Hollander refers to him as the perfect soldier,
Angeal refuses this title and, accepting the monstrosities of Project
G, renames himself as the "perfect monster". He then fuses with several
Angeal copy monsters and becomes Angeal Penance.

Zack inherits the Buster Sword from Angeal.



Zack is forced to fight and kill this creature, obtaining the scar shown in Advent Children.
Angeal is left barely alive, and apparently degrading from the wounds.
Using his last strength, he hands the Buster Sword to Zack, telling him
one final time to remember his dreams and honor to be a true member of
SOLDIER. Distraught over the death of his mentor and friend, Zack finds
comfort in the arms of Aerith, strengthening their relationship to its
strongest. As one of the last 1st Class SOLDIERs, and with the war with
Genesis considered over, Zack takes over Angeal's job of being the
emotional heart of the organization. He meets another SOLDIER member
named Luxiere,
who also looks up to him as a role model, and constantly sends Zack
mail, as he is inspired by Zack's speech to the Shinra troops he
commands.
