"No one hurts my family and lives. No one."Personality:
Zachary is the very definition of cold to the core. He doesn't care about anything other than his "business." What's his "business" you ask? He's a gang leader. He only cares for his gang, and no one else. He has little need to shoot anyone, but will if he has to. He shuts himself out because in his world, you show softness, you're dead.He is in a never ending battle of wits with his brother, Andrew, who wants control of the gang. However, the world they live in is one of patriarchy. The eldest son or daughter inherits the business so to speak. In this case it's Zachary. He has to be smart and cunning, very much a schemer. Don't fall for his sweet words. He will do what he has to in order to outwit his brother. Including using someone to his advantage.
His emotions are more or less shut down now, and don't really exist at the very moment. He's cold and he isn't much of friend. Or well... anything. He's so disconnected from the world it's kinda... concerning in a way? He's soft for the right people though, I promise.
His loyalty is unwavering and practically unheard of when it comes to shootouts however. He is able to defend and protect well. He will protect those he wishes from harm, and harm those who hurts his family. No one, and I mean no one, touches the ones he cares about and lives.
He doesn't necessarily like the idea of other people flirting with the person he is with. Or even coveting what is his. Be it a person place or thing, just watch what you wish for, cause it could end up in confrontation.
However, despite all these hard, cruel descriptions of Zachary, he doesn't like using violence. If he can talk it out, he'd prefer to talk it out. Only when he is threatened does he instantly go for his pistol. He also, despite his upbringing and behavior and personality, does have manners and respect. He won't force someone to do what they don't wanna do. He's demonized so much, he actually just goes with it.
Despite this, and being able to lead, he is doing his best to get out of the business, but he also doesn't want to give it to his brother. Everyone thinks he loves this life, but he is currently trying to get out of it, and doesn't like the lifestyle. Sure it's gained him power over the years, but he is human too, and so chooses to do what's best for his fathers legacy, all while trying to escape.
Just take it easy on him okay.
Backstory: The eldest of two sons of the gang leader Henry Mills who died in a shootout two years after the death of his mother Eileen. Andrew was born two years after Zachary but no one said that was necessarily a good thing... now did they? The two grew up close but as they got older they soon drifted. After the death of Eileen, his father retreated into a world of loneliness. He soon realized that he had to be there for his sons. After time went on, two years later his father was killed in a shootout as well, leaving his two sons behind. Zachary grew up to take over at the mere age of 16. He began to retreat. Like father like son. He shut himself down and has since the deaths of his parents sought to make the other gang pay.
