PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS -
Zealot holds up to his earned name very well, holding Loyalty in the highest regard, not only to the EotL, but to the very idea of the ordered and just society for all hat it is supposed to be.
Towards those outside of the Empire's domain, he holds in a colder disposition, believing that those who do not respect the Empire and it's domain are to be treated with weariness and suspicion.
And to those who would actively harbor ill intentions and harm upon the Empire and it's people, are held as the greatest of blasphemers, who only exist because the Empire has not the time for their obliteration

STRENGTHS -
Unwavering Loyalty - The concept of betraying the Empire of the Lost is so anathema to him, the mere mention of it will illicit rebuke and perhaps even violent repercussions from the Clone Commander

Veterancy - While the Imperial Paragons of the Empire of the Lost are among the newer branches of the state's armed forces, the hard fighting of recent times has allowed Zealot to accumulate battle experience to an unprecedented degree

Flexible Combat Doctrine and Tactics - Zealot is at home in most combat engagements, from boarding actions, open field battles, ambushes, and Combat Hot-drops, being able to switch from a Generalist, to a Combat Marksman, to a Close Combat Specialist

Knows no Fear - Possesses a complete and utter faith in his armor and his skill in battle. When on the field, withdrawals will be rare and retreat an impossibility while he still draws breath

WEAKNESSES -
Untamed Zeal - In another, darker universe, Zealot's...zeal, would be commended as a triumph of will over the enemies of the Empire. But this is not that universe, so Zealot's personality trait of near mind-numbing hate towards the enemies of the Empire of the Lost is, instead, usually seen as reckless and antagonistic towards his allies with a more cool headed approach. It also will have consequences to those captured or surrendering to him as well

No Tech skill - While he does know the functions of his Power Armor and weapons and has the skill to maintain and repair them. When it comes to things like locked blast doors, communications terminals and other devices that require a more sophisticated touch, these tasks are usually things that Zealot has more Tech-minded Paragons to be assigned to do

HISTORY -
Starting out life as one of hundreds, if not thousands, of Clone Soldiers slated for the role of Commander in the Grand Army of the Lost from the cloning facilities on New Alderaan. CC-22849, nicknamed 'Zel', would begin his career as a near bog-standard Commander in the Grand Army, though with a penchant for Aggressive, close range fighting when the engagement called for it (like trench-storming or Building clearing, not charging lightsaber wielding opponents head on). Though with his specialty of aggressive yet effective, close range combat tactics, Zel would be amongst the few Non-Naval Security Force or Naval Commandos to be chosen and inducted into the Imperial Paragon Corps

With the creation of the Imperial Paragons, however, with the advent of the new IPAPA-1 system and close combat weapons in the form of the MW02 "Multi-Bladed Vibrosword", Zel would really come into his own, as his armor was able to shrug off blaster fire and high explosives as if it was merely a wind upon a stone wall, it would allow him to rush into Close Quarters that much more easily, cutting down droids and organics during live combat actions with horrifying ease.

However whether it was due to this sudden and immense increase in combat effectiveness, or it was from the inherent issues of the acclerated cloning process used by the Empire, Zel would become much more nationalistic and antagonistic towards the enemies of the Empire. No longer did he just see his military career as a soldier as merely his job, but it had grown into a sacred duty, and that duty was toward the state that given him life, and with that life he would annihilate it's enemies.

But this would change for the worst at Mon Calamari. After driving off the last of the TAC invaders, with a fury unseen amongst the other members of his Paragon Force. Zel would recieve a report that the 'Eggman', Flaship of the Empire and personal ship of the Emperor, had been destroyed along with Emperor Velran himself. This would drive Zel over the edge and into a silent rage, a cold get unbound fury. Marching into the prisoner hold, the Clone Commander would put a full third of the captured TAC POWs to death, at the edge of his Vibrosword. None would report the massacre, either out of an unspoken understanding or an unspoken fear of the Clone Commander.

And from that day, Zel, the level-headed Clone Commander, was dead and gone. Standing in his place was Zealot, Stalwart Defender of the Empire and Righteous Slaughterer of it's foes
