Name: Zedekiah Polished
Personality: The part of Zed that stands out most might be his sarcastic charm. Must be an Ireacan thing. He often shows his spiritual side as well. His time with the Blood Clan has proven he is brave and noble. Skills and abilities: Zed's main skill so far has been his skill using his trademark polearm as a weapon. Actually, he's an expert fighter with or without it. It doesn't hurt that he's quite crafty as well. Recent news: Zed was last seen in the battle against Kadlin's summoned beast, Habrodaxus. It's believed that he was on the Morlencir ship when the demon Larry attacked the ship and tore it in half, aided by various other attacks on the Morlencir ship.
Season II so far: One of the many characters to debut during the second season, Zed first met Aleena during "The Third Faction," the mission named for the faction he quickly joined. His first encounter was one with Aleena.. which lead to the two sharing an intimate time, something Aleena's fellow Morlencir, Jen, later vigorously questioned Zed over. Zed's battled on behalf of his clan, the Blood Clan, taking on various combinations of Elite 7 members and Hey Daze 7-Eternal managers over the course of the next several missions. He's also met strange characters such as Becky Joy, Awakesun, the insane Jay and Sassy Snake. He's even travelled to Hey Daze, although he just missed the "chance" to travel to the otherworldy Mirrorworld dimension. Probably for the best. We also see his spiritual side on display repeatedly.

The Third Faction | Set before the start of his debut mission, this co-write sees Zed out hunting to repay favors owed. He runs across Aleena, who had just returned from the Mirrorworld. When Zed explains his curse to Aleena. The curse excites women around him, sexually attracting them to Zed. She suspects him of having a connection to Kwadlin but he explains he doesn't. Once satisfied with his answer, Aleena finds a more physical satisfaction from Zed as well. |

A mysterious figure watches this all unfold... |

Co-roleplay | Holiday | During an encounter with the Queen of Hate, Zed struggles as she and her minions sap his life forces. Dash and the space elves step into help.. well, the space elves do. Afterwards, on the elven ship, Jen expresses her.. discomfort.. over the possibility Zed might have coerced Aleena into intimate relationships. |
Finale 2/2 | Holiday | Zed aids Konall in a battle against Dark and his minions and Hey Daze allies.. in spite of Zed's weakness to Hey Daze spawned enemies. Meanwhile, other heroes battle against Catalina's slavers, who are trying to recapture their freed former prisoners. |

Co-roleplay/ flashback |
Konall's Grudge | Taking place before the previous piece, Zed reports what he's learned about the mushroom patch to Konall, who leads a daring Gnollish rebellion against the Knob Goblins. He recruits Gnollish and attempts to arm them. Meanwhile, his sister Kadlin takes command of the black paladin and later sends out her forces to kill Konall and the rebellion. Special fun cameo, too! |
Co-roleplay | Konall's Grudge | Zed runs into Sassy Snake and (again) Becky, who are trying to find a Knob Goblin farmer named Shava. (Becky just met Sassy earlier in the story.) The three discuss it and make small talk, but Zed isn't able to help them. |
Finale | Konall's Grudge | Zed shadows (no pun intended) Becky, her goblins and Sassy Snake into action, where Elite 7 minion Mimi is about to attack innocent Gnollish students. This leads to the heroes battling Kadlin and her support, which includes Zed taking on the shadow puppet king and the king's shadowy puppets. |

Co-roleplay | Guild Warriors II: Machines and Soul | Free of Runic and Bandit's bondage, Cattaras, Fahari and Zed.. are quickly captured again by Vixen and Lapine. This time, escape proves to be easier.. a little too easy. And for reasons unknown, they 'drop' and leave behind a key. Later, there's reason to suspect there's more to Lapine and Vixen working for Dark than it initially appeared. Also note: emotions and lust are dangerously high thanks to the life machine's effect. |
Co-roleplay | Guild Warriors II: Machines and Soul | After dealing with zombies, Zed, Fahari and Cattaras think they see Dark again.. but this time it's Sebastian Dash, who is making out with Katherine Swift! After breaking that up and arguing, the group splits up into three pairs and sets out about dealing with the mission. Zed is as uncomfortable with all of this are Fahari and Cattaras. |
