Summary

Zeke is a powerful general within the Rigelian Knights, trusted by Emperor Rudolf of Rigel. He holds no records of his past life before arriving at Barensia.

Teeta is his lover, a saint under the service of Emperor Rudolf. She is taken hostage by corrupt Rigelians, to secure Zeke’s loyalty to Rigel.

Bio

Zeke’s origins are a completely mystery. He was found washed ashore at the Kingdom of Rigel and the only thing he recalls from his past memories is that he suffered a fatal injury, which probably led to his memory loss. When he first arrived at Rigel, he was cared for by Teeta until he recovered. Around that time, Zeke and Teeta both fell in love with each other.

Rigel’s Emperor Rudolf treated Zeke well and even awarded Zeke his new name. To Zeke, the Emperor was like his own father and it seemed the two shared a common trust. In just a year’s space, Zeke was even promoted to a high-ranking general within the Rigelian Army. However, when the war with Sofia broke out, Zeke openly expressed his disdain for the war. While Rudolf might not have seen Zeke’s stance as a problem, some other Rigelians did.

Nuibaba, an exorcist working for Rigel, was afraid that Zeke might betray Rigel so he took Zeke’s lover, Teeta, hostage. Zeke is thus forced to fight against his own will. When Zeke reaches his post at the plains of Rigel, he steps in to prevent Jerome, a Rigelian general, from causing havoc to the surrounding villages. Once Arum’s army vanquishes Nuibaba, Arum rescues Teeta from captivity. Arum wonders what Teeta is doing locked up and she explains Zeke’s and her situation to him. Later, during the battle of the plains, Zeke notices that Teeta is safe and immediately turns against Jerome’s army.

After the battle, Arum tries to convince Zeke to join his cause, as he is aware of Zeke’s view on the war. Zeke initially declines, saying that he fought against Jerome solely because of Jerome’s corruption. He also states that he cannot betray the Emperor. However, Zeke then notices a marking on Arum’s right arm. He tells Arum that Rudolf once told him to serve the one bearing a marking on their right arm, as that person would be the one who would rescue Rigel, as well as the entire continent. Although Zeke doesn’t fully understand, he decides to trust the Emperor’s words and joins Arum’s cause.

After the war, Teeta prays that Zeke’s past memories never return, and she lives a happy life with him. Unbeknownst to Teeta, Zeke had already recovered all his memories during the war. However, whether it was to keep Teeta happy or because his memories were too painful, Zeke didn’t tell a soul about it. Although, later on, he vanished without saying a word. Some speculate that he travelled to the nearby continent of Akaneia, to tie up some loose ends in his past life, and would later return to Rigel and Teeta. If Zeke died in the war, Teeta cuts her own hair out of sadness.
