The History of Zer0 - Borderlands

having made his debut as one of the original vault hunters in borderlands 2 zero's history very much still remains a mystery he speaks almost exclusively in haiku poetry and only has four digits on each of his hand implying that he's not a human displayed on his helmets are many different internet slang emoticons and acronyms as a way of expressing his emotion while he does speak his cold and mysterious voice are hard to indicate as to what he's thinking and or feeling in the current moment as an assassin for hire zero takes all sorts of jobs from political assassinations to the common hit job the problem with this is that zero became so good at his job that it actually began to bore him there was no challenge in what he was doing anymore even when he tried to provoke one what the hell are you why do you retreat face your end honorably make me work for it who sent you his sister his kids whatever they're offering i'll quit double it this is punishment his murder will be avenged and i will be paid for god's sake what do you want just tell me what you want for you to fight back bandits like you are easy what the hell are you i want a challenge it wasn't until he heard of the rumors of the legendary vault on pandora that it peaked his interest slag leaves falling from trees snow drifting onto the ground life leaving your corpse [Applause] look at this freak shut up zeke what do you want a ninja guy i desire a challenge by the way your fruity ass talks it sounds like you're plenty challenged can it zeke sorry i swear it's impossible to keep that boy's mouth shut you would consider it a challenge then uh i guess this is intriguing the vault my masterpiece challenge accepted you cut off his head holy skink suck you decapitated zeke why why is your helmet say zero he was no challenge my skills have not been tested i need something more oh no there are some pretty dangerous bandit clans no the creatures around here are no um the vault go on uh alien power lots of danger a real challenge huge challenge this is intriguing the vault my masterpiece challenge accepted he made his way to the planet for the challenge one of which did satisfy his desire but not one that he couldn't overcome it was alongside the vault hunters axed in maya salvador krieg and gage that they all worked to stop handsome jack and fight the destroyer after the events of borderlands 2 zero would stay with the crimson raiders for a short time one job he was sent on was by moxie to obtain information regarding an old atlas project known as the gortys corps he is initially sent out to hunt down a bandit by the name of bossa nova and obtain information out of him throughout his chases he initially encounters the main characters of tales from the borderlands while zero here spends most of his time chopping down psychos bossa nova would get away he does eventually track him down to his hideout where on his stealth mission saves reese and sasha from a skag and actually takes a very friendly approach to them at the end of it all zero kills bossa nova and determines that he can't find out anything about the gordis core and reports back to moxie it's not until later after fiona tells mordecai that she's a vault hunter that word passes down the grapevine back to zero where once all the characters are deciding to fight the traveler he chooses to take pardon while the player is allowed to form their own combination of teammates canonically speaking zero would take part in this battle through their experience he grows closer to fiona and more importantly reese in fact very soon after these events zero would leave the crimson raiders to assist reese in his rebuilding of atlas they do surprisingly grow closer together trusting one another greatly and zero even begins calling reese bro and this would be the path for him in between the events of the games serving as reese's personal bodyguard spy assassin and overall everyman for pretty much everything a frequent objective he was tasked with was the tracking of sasha and or fiona the game's not clear as to who as she has gone missing after reese re-emerged from the vault though zero would not find any leads zero tell me you found something anything at all my spies are searching but we have come up empty there's no sign of her damn it where the hell i've been so busy with this stupid war maybe i could i don't know done something to help it is not your fault no one vanishes from sight who wants to be found something that would happen and seems quite out of character for zero would be when he first met lorelei being a former worker for a coffee shop reese used to visit when prometheus comes under siege he sends zero to a sister but he becomes flustered you suck my smoking barrel you wankers i'll bite your ears off and feed them to you your bloody slabs are duck butter [Applause] that's the last of them we're safe for now maybe what who's that are you lorelai reese sent me to bag you up but you seem uh good if that toothbrush head wanker wants to help me he can send over some pallets of food and water for the civilians we've got in here i've got my bullets for backup you staring at something mate no i wasn't uh i'm zero i'll go tell reese it was nice meeting you damn it huh that's a weird one tall though she even scares him a little bit but in a good way scares me but you know in a good way am i making sense when it comes to borderlands 3 itself zero aids the vault hunters in any way he can and while katagawa jr would go on to steal his suit design acting as his imposter zero would be absent for most of this scenario being on the hunt he was forced to remain radio silent he would later go on to rejoin the crimson raiders on sanctuary for a short while tasking the vault hunters with assassinating various individuals but probably the main line i want you all to hear are his words about maya's death a warrior true deserved a much better fate rest in peace maya but the truth about zero isn't as much of a mystery as we might think as revealed in the pandora and gazette included in the loot chest exclusive of the game tanis has a section in the advice column where you can ask her questions about anything and everything and one individual here asks about zero and what she knows about him a curious in oldhaven asks quote dear doctor tanis i have heard that you are acquainted with the vault hunter known as zero i've been meaning to ask that's not really his true name is it hell maybe zero isn't even a he do you have any details on this mysterious figure end quote antanus responds with quote dear curious i am indeed acquainted with the towering stack of leather and poorly written poetry that so many refer to as zero as you have correctly noted zero is not the actual vault hunter's true name zero's actual name and gender are continued in page nine end quote as you could have guessed page nine is not actually included in the loot chest and it's meant to be a tease keeping any and all details about him a mystery but the point is tanis did actually learn and does know who he is so if any details would come from one of the characters who aren't zero himself it would be tanus in fact zero actually has a line in borderlands 3 which indicates someone knows something about him after katagawa's defeat zero questions where he could have gotten the blueprints for his zero suitagawa how did he copy my suit did she while this statement is very enigmatic per usual for him it's clear that so few people know anything about him that when it comes to someone who actually has information on him his mind jumps straight to them that's not to say that he is talking about tanis here or saying that she would do something like giving out his blueprints but perhaps it could be another she he knows but point is people are out there that do know things about him he's not as mysterious as we think the game devs also like to hint as to what zero really is as well in moxie's wedding day massacre dlc a skin was put in where his helmet was broken and it showed a robot eye but the name for this head is not canon clearly stating that this isn't what zero really is another fun fact about zero is that he met zayn flint during the same assassins bar when they were both on the path to becoming assassins but for now that's all we know about zero arguably one of the most cryptic characters we have in this franchise right up there next to the iridians but hey if there are any other characters you'd like to see me do the history of then be sure to let me know in the comments below and until next time i'll see you in the next video [Music] you
