Mike's Notes: My most infamous NPC and the most annoying reoccuring villain in history. Nobody has yet to put him down for good, though the opinion was that I wouldnt let that happen. Sadly this is untrue. The truth is nobody ever did the research and depended on what was "in the rules" to do the job. As this is a story telling forum, I left it to a storyline for his ultimate destruction. I have not yet seen anyone take the steps to look into his past and find a means to rid the world of him. Perhaps I never will. So here he is in all his glory.

I guess I have some favorite Zed moments. There are a few. Hard to pick since he has had so many run-ins with so many people. But my favorite would have to be the one where a group os Moriahs kids from the orphanage were out on a routine patrol. They came across a mosh pit made up of werewolves and beyond the fire pit on a throne of bodies was Zed sitting. They didnt expect him to be there and they ran from the place in horror.

Zed, though not a PC, I will give you his averages. He can do 148 minus any funny business. Add in a bite and it goes to 169. Add in Vicious and Unholy power and it goes to 211. If he goes for pure Claw/Claw/Bite it goes to 110.

A behind the scenes look at Zed.
He was a Fagin type character when the party found him in London, England. He was running a small group of children that he had turned into vampires like himself. They were preying on the homeless and stealing from people in the parks until one of them ran into a party member and saw a way to free them from Zed. They found that Zed discovered the betrayal and killed all but one of his progeny. They chased him to a roof with the building on fire. He caught fire and leaped into the Thames. Nobody saw him after that. It was from those humble beginnings that he became the thing he is now. People would encounter him after some time. He would even follow them back to their world. He would get more powerful as time wore on. He wore on peoples nerves and also made them scream. He never was truly destroyed, but beaten every time. Bill once said of this loathsome NPC that caused him so much grief, that he liked Zed because he was always changing. I like to think that was part of the charm.
