# Q1: Why is he nicknamed the Gravebringer?

A) Well, in-universe, though he actively half-asses his fighting, Zagan is nonetheless pretty brutal when it comes to his mercenary jobs and, more often than not, they involve killing whoever his target(s) are with almost no second thought. In short, he "brings" his enemies [to] their "graves". Out-of-universe, though, I just wanted a kick-ass moniker for the guy.

# Q2: What is his role in Clash of Mythics: Genesis, in brief?

A) Assuming you were referring to the game's story, Zagan is basically one of the central characters of the game, alongside Raiden, Streak, and Burst. Friendly reminder that "protagonist" and "hero" are not necessarily synonymous terms, for anyone asking.

# Q3: Does he have a backstory? What happened before the events in Clash of Mythics?

A) Ooh, I haven't actually decided on that yet, I'm afraid. I'm still debating on whether I should give him a dark and tragic one to make him more sympathetic or if I should keep it mundane to maintain how he's really just a guy with no grandiose or momentous motivations before the events of the series.

# Q4: Is there a reason behind his aggressive and cynical behaviour?

A) Regarding his aggression, Zagan really is just someone who would rather get his shit done as soon as possible with as little interruptions as possible, hence his tendency to be confrontational towards anyone in the way. As for his cynicism (actually, I might even be using the term incorrectly here), the best I can figure is that Zagan sees no real purpose on being an idealist or anything similar. All he really wants (at least at this point in time) is to live life as he wishes it; no need to get himself involved with matters that don't directly concern him or catch his interest, am I right?

# Q5: Has he ever had a love interest in his life?

A) I personally don't think he's had any in the past. ...I hope you're not shipping him with Streak. It ain't happening.

# Q6: What is his code of honour? What does he fight for?

A) As mentioned earlier, Zagan (currently) has no real motivations for anything. All he's concerned about is his mercenary business and that he has the money to pay the bills. That said, he does have a sort of a code of honor, in that he prefers to have all of the details regarding whatever job he takes right up front. The moment he figures that whoever hired him had hidden or ulterior motives for doing so, or maybe even gave him false information, he'll dismiss himself and terminate the contract right there.

# Q7: Is there anything you and Zagan have in common?

A) Both Zagan and I are foul-mouthed, short-tempered, brain-dead idiots that like the color red. Otherwise, the difference between us is night and day.

# Q8: To which degree has Zagan mastered shapeshifting?

A) On a scale of one to ten, I'd say around six. He probably used to be a lot better at it, but years of having gone without using it has made him rusty if that's the case.

# Q9: In my point of view, Zagan is one of the most recognizable fan characters in SFW. What is your remark?

A) In what regard?

Nah, I'm gammin'. Totally glad you feel that way, man. Zagan's been around for some time, so I'm glad some people have noticed him.

# Q10: Who is the ultimate edgelord? Shadow, Infinite or Zagan?

A) In the CFC timeline, probably Zagan since Shadow is more of a comically-serious straight man there.

In the official timeline, however, definitely Shadow. Compared to him, Infinite is a mewling kitten that tried so hard that he ended up becoming less edgy. Like, seriously, Infinite's backstory is whack with how it was presented in Forces.
