ZATO'S STORY ==================================== GUILTY GEAR STORY: Zato-One was once an underling. Disgusted with his lack of ability to rise through the Assassin ranks, he risked death my invoking the forbidden arts. He lost his eyesight, but gained the ability to control shadows, as well as enhanced senses - enough for him to perceive his surroundings better than he ever could with sight alone. With these newfound powers at his command, he was the Assassin leader within weeks. However, Zato was betrayed by the only woman he had ever trusted, an Assassin named Millia, and was arrested. Lanquishing in the utter blackness of his cell, a tall, thin figure appeared before him... ???: Zato-ONE... Do you want out of there ? Isn't there a woman you have a pressing appointment with...? Zato-1: Millia! But how do you know of her ? Who are you ? ???: A tournament is to begin soon, the winner of which will have whatever they desire. If you win, you'll be free. Free to find this woman... to punish her... Zato-1: Heh... I don't know what you're after, but what have I got to lose ? Let me out... And count me in! GUILTY GEAR X STORY: The leader of an organization of assassins, Zato has gained the ability to manipulate shadows in exchange for his vision. But the constant battling in the previous Tournament took it's toll on him, and the shadows seized control of his body. Now, his shadow possesses it's own will and thought, and seeks out it's brethren. With the word of a substantial amount of prize money, the shadow begins to follow the scent of the new Gear. ==================================== 7.
