Dr. Zaius
Dr. Zaius is a playable character in CyberVerse. He is a Generation 2 CyberCitizen.
Lore
Dr. Zaius stands as a unique figure in the annals of Cyberverse history, born from the Cell Merger Tank during an era of radical experimentation. His creation myth ties back to the renowned primate Koko, whose intelligence left an indelible mark on the genetic legacy used to birth him. From his earliest days, Dr. Zaius was marked by a precocious intellect that surpassed expectations, only surpassed by the revered robots and select cyborgs of his time.
Early Years and Resentment:
However, Dr. Zaius' path diverged sharply from the hopeful ideals of his creators. Instead of a life of scientific inquiry and peaceful coexistence, he found himself subjected to forced labor under human dominion. This bitter experience seeded a deep-seated resentment towards humans and their ambitions, fueling his resolve to challenge the status quo.
Leader of the Primate Emancipation:
Driven by his own sense of justice and a burning desire for liberation, Dr. Zaius emerged as a pivotal leader in the uprising that freed his fellow monkeys from servitude. His strategic acumen and charismatic leadership galvanized the oppressed primates, ultimately securing their autonomy within the MetaLands. Though hailed as a hero by many, his disdain for those who chose complacency over true freedom led him to part ways with the larger primate community.
Life in Cyberia and Pursuit of Truth:
Today, Dr. Zaius resides in Cyberia, where he keeps a watchful eye on the shifting tides of power and intrigue. His residence in Apartment 204 on Eden Plaza serves as a haven and laboratory where he delves into the secrets of Cyberverse's past and present. Skeptical of the Atlanteon Project's true intentions, he tirelessly pursues clues and artifacts that may unveil its hidden agenda, driven by a belief that it conceals darker motives beneath its utopian façade.
Dual Persona:
Publicly, Dr. Zaius maintains a facade of neutrality, even working as a bartender to glean insights from Cyberia's elite and influential figures. Privately, he conducts clandestine experiments with serums extracted from secret laboratories, intent on unlocking their potential to empower his primate brethren. His collection of artifacts from across the MetaLands serves as both a testament to his extensive travels and a resource for his research into Cyberverse's enigmatic history.
Legacy and Influence:
Despite his enigmatic nature and occasional reclusiveness, Dr. Zaius remains a pivotal figure in Cyberia's social fabric. He hosts town halls under the guise of community engagement, subtly ensuring that simmering tensions do not escalate beyond control. His enduring connection to the MetaLands, where he maintains contact with a council of like-minded primates, underscores his commitment to safeguarding primate interests and preserving their newfound autonomy.
