Zachariah is one of the officers serving in a small town called Esterstead. With the help of his family, he was able to buy a house and commit to his duties with nothing in the way. As his relatives would have wanted.
The man isn’t of any outstanding looks nor powers; he can’t control the weather or read thoughts to help with the investigations, but he works day and night to keep up as best as he can. It’s rare for him to say more than a few words, and with this closeted approach to social life not many have decided to get to know him better.
Ending up alone for as long as he can remember, he accepted the life he’s been given and learnt to enjoy his own company with one goal in mind: to not disappoint his father and aunt back at home.
That to say, success has always been the only thing keeping him busy and somewhat happy. He’d be featured first place in every school he attempted; the hosts of Guardian Angel programs would proudly shake his hand at every ceremony, and to this day a title of a „White Knight” is brought up by familiar faces whenever he stops by his hometown. Nowadays, as the official Guardian Angel and Angel of Solitude, his prime duty is to serve and help the one below the clouds.
One night, an unusual feeling has haunted him all throughout his shift. He decided to leave at the designated hour unlike how he usually would, and go for a stroll with a cig in his lips. Back then, he didn’t realise it was the night he’d confront his worst fear.

design notes
- His wings are after a Harpy Eagle.
- His halo resembles the traditional Dominion halo with an addition; Clouds as a personal touch that embodies his most visible personality traits.
- Every part of it moves in a circular motion at a slow pace except the clouds that stay the same.
- His most worn outfit indoors is his work uniform; a dark navy police shirt with gold detailing and a black tie. He's not a fan of casual clothes, so whenever he's not wearing his work clothes he will still wear shirts and ties - or golfs with jackets when it's colder.
- His eyes are tired and sleepy at all times. He also has bags under his eyes a lot.
- He never smiles nor shows strong emotions of any sort.
About
personality
● stoic ● taciturn ● shy ● hard-working ● even-tempered ● introvert ● empathetic ● protective ●
If you think about it, Zachariah could be described as what many imagine an Angel to be like. Very quiet, gentle and almost selfless. His voice is set at the same tone, never showing any stronger emotions. He's aloof and introverted no matter who he's talking to, but you can't take away from him that he's kind and doesn't seem to mean harm in any way.
In nature, Zachariah is someone who would never hurt a fly. He needs a really good reason to put up a fight; not to mention summon his rapier. It's no different for how he treats other people. He won't look down at Angels of lower ranks or humans; he stays in the back when it comes to gossip and no one has ever seen him lift his voice. He never said a bad word about anyone, which ironically, has given him more problems than he would have hoped for.
There are a lot of people that take his quiet persona and tired looks as offensive, making up theories about how he judges people behind their backs and most likely comments on everyone in his thoughts. It alienated him even more, but after dealing with this kind of misjudgement for so long, he learnt to ignore it.

Strengths and Weaknesses
- Great storyteller once he gets comfortable enough. Might stutter or pause here and there but the way he tells stories or explains anecdotes comes off as surprisingly captivating.
- Agility. Zachariah isn't as powerful when it comes to physical strength as a regular Dominion would, but it definitely repays in the speed and dexterity that he moves with.
- Taciturn, nods or shakes his head more than talking which sometimes comes off as rude to people with how
trivia
- His power is cryokinesis, which ultimately means he can create and manipulate snow as well as ice.
- He likes to read every night in his bed.
- Has a small garden behind his house where he takes care of herbs and all kinds of vegetables & fruits.
- Gets a cold when he's under too much stress.
- Is surprisingly good at billiards.
- Has a few scars on his stomach and left arm, and will dismiss anyone who asks about it.
- Physically quite strong as a Dominion.
- Whenever he gets sweets on Valentine's day, he will always give it out to his friend Eris, leaving only a single bite for himself.
- Was 1# in every class at school and academy; in every flying competition, he attempted and the Guardian Angel programs. He was called the "White Knight" by other candidates back then, which stayed with his family and neighbours back in his hometown.
- Has a small porcelain decoration of a white cat on the windowsill above his bed.
- An excellent flyer. His style of flight is elegant and balanced, but he tends to take some aggressive turns when he's tense.
- His favourite drink is green tea. He's more of a tea person in general but green tea captured his heart.
Relationships
Cecil [ nuisance / respected ]
Cecil might have shown his nosy and unsolicited side one too many times and continues to do so - taking every chance he can to get under Zachariah's skin or remind him how easily it is to ignore his personal space.
Yet somewhat, Cecil has proven on multiple occasions that he holds a pretty good sense of when to stop or when there's no room for giggles and funny remarks. Once he stops goofing around, Cecil turns out to be a really kind and understanding person. He's also shown many times that he will stand up for Zach if someone gives him a hard time.
Celeste [ mother ]
While Zachariah couldn't make the best of his time with Celeste before her passing, she still has made an incredible impact that follows him through all these years.
Her altruism and kindred is one of the many things she wanted to teach him. To give instead of take, and to not do another what he wouldn't want to experience himself. He visits her tombstone often, venting his struggles and expressing his longing after he'd change the flower water and clean the grave.
Temalion [ father ]
Since the passing of my mother, I spent most of my youth living with my father and aunt, alongside maids and servants. I'm eternally grateful for everything father did for me, after all, he would never do anything to cause harm. I love my father, and I'm very lucky to have a parent who put my future in his thoughts so carefully. I'm glad I can serve him and grow with the choices he makes.
Astrelle [ aunt ]
Since the passing of my mother, I spent most of my youth living with my father and aunt, alongside maids and servants. I couldn't ask for a better aunt. She did so much for me. After all, she would never do anything to cause me harm. I cherish my aunt and everything she's done for me. Despite the grief she always made sure I'm the best I could be.
