History

Zero is one of the higher-ranked NESTS agents. Due to his rank, Zero managed to become one of the most important men among the NESTS cartel, aiding them in their evil plans. A man who was purely devoted to the cartel, Zero was always loyal and faithful to his organization, and along with his fellow executive Igniz, carried NESTS to new heights as ordered by their wise leader. When their plan for world conquest was set in motion, Zero was commanded to watch over the performance of the Kusanagi cloning process, set forth by one of their lower ranked officers, Krizalid.


Zero began his true work when the Krizalid project had begun. Acting as the project supervisor, he was to monitor all actions done by Krizalid, and also analyze the performance of K', who is a human being infused with Kusanagi power. After Krizalid was defeated, Zero was the ominous voice who talked to the heroes of the battle. Zero considers Krizalid to be a worthless agent, and dispatches him by launching a huge boulder over Krizalid. After proclaiming the superiority of NESTS, Zero retreats to seclusion once again....


During one full year, Zero begins the fabrication of what should be the most fearsome weapon ever created by man: the Zero Cannon. A killer satellite that would orbit the Earth in outer space, it would contain a huge laser cannon that would be able to fire at any designated spot on the ground. But this type of destructive energy needed an equally powerful energy source. Using the same technology that was used for Krizalid's battle armor, Zero fabricated a power generator that would be able to absorb the fighting energy of any human being. The generator would then channel the energy towards the Cannon, and power it up enough for it to destroy whole cities at once. Not one, but twenty of these death machines were created. Zero knew these were weapons capable of wiping out any designated point on the face of the planet. But he needs someone outside the organization to launch it, to avoid suspitions....To accomplish this, Zero created a clone of himself that would assume another image, and infiltrate a local mercenary agency that would prove most valuable for his plans.


The Ikari Warriors proved to be the perfect target for Zero's evil plans. That way, he could avoid any possible investigation by his bosses. But there was no direct way to approach the mercenary squad. Zero, using the advanced clone technology of the NESTS cartel, created a clone of himself, and programmed him to pass as a fellow mercernary commander named Ling, who would lead the fighters straight into his trap. His plan would soon begin....


Taking advantage of the friendship between Ling and Heidern, Zero launches the Zero Cannon to outer space, saying that it would be a weapon to use against NESTS. After that, Zero suggests Heidern to organize a new King of Fighters tournament in order to attract NESTS out of their hideout. In order to do so, Zero advises that Heidern should follow K' and Maxima, former NESTS agents, who should be able to confess something about NESTS' whereabouts. While Zero fixes that situation, he also makes some movements on his side. He dispatches two of the most important agents that worked for Ling, and sends them to attract the former members of the fighters of the faithful battle one year ago. Seth and Vanessa are assigned to search out for K', Maxima, Benimaru Nikaido, and Shingo Yabuki, and bring them to Southtown for the final battle. Zero's plan begins as scheduled....


But NESTS has also moved their pieces. After sending the "anti-K'" Kula to stop Zero's plans, NESTS plans to wipe their trace in Southtown. Meanwhile, as the tournament advances under the happy gesture of Zero, the final battle in Southtown nears. After Heidern realizes that things aren't going as planned, Zero puts the final part of his plan into motion. He captures Heidern using his soldiers, which posed as Ling's soldiers, to stop Heidern from any further interference. Now, Zero prepares himself for the final match in a temple located behind an abandoned factory in the industrial zone of Southtown.


When Maxima and the others arrive with Zero, he tells them his malevolent intentions. He even used his own agents, Seth and Vanessa, as pawns in his maniacal game. He injected them with his own genetic code to enhance their abilities so they could perform better in battle. Facing the rage and anger of many of the fighters in front of him, Zero manages to get one step closer. The warriors are so angry that they will fight with no drawbacks. This will gain him enough energy to charge the Zero Cannon!


During the battle, Zero manages to display two styles: one of them was pure strength and speed, using his power and his razor-edged skirt. The second part of the battle, when things suddenly got serious, Zero used dark arts in order to surprise his opponents, and even use his own fighting aura to create chaos around him. After wiping out practically all the resistance, Zero declares himself the winner, but not before Lin stabs him in the back. Furious, Zero gives Lin a sound beating, but now he has to face K'. Zero feels that his body doesn't reply to his commands anymore. The stab from Lin injected poison into his body, downgrading his physical status, allowing K' to deliver the final blow.


Badly wounded and enraged, Zero is ready to activate the Zero Cannon, since it should already have enough energy to blow his enemies to bits. However, the generator does not respond to his command inputs. Suddenly, Zero is inmobilized, and two mysterious women, called Diana and Foxy, appear at his sides. They condemn Zero to death for trying to betray NESTS. Amidst his anguish and pain, Zero watches how Kula activates the Zero Cannon from outer space. The beam falls on the temple itself, and Zero receives the impact head on. In his dying place, Zero delivers Whip the project data, and watches over as Kyo and Iori engage in their faithful battle, before finally being buried by the debris of the falling temple, with Southtown as his crumbled tomb....
