A pivotal character in the backstory of Final Fantasy VII, referred to by other characters and seen numerous times in flashbacks. A member of SOLDIER, mentored by Angeal Hewley, friend of Cloud Strife, and romantic interest of Aerith Gainsborough.
Being killed mere days before the chronological start of the game, in some ways he is the hero/protagonist in absentia of FFVII. His death prompts Cloud to step into the void he leaves behind, in the process creating a false persona based on Zack to a large degree.
Voiced by Suzumura Ken'ichi in Japanese, while in english he's voiced by Rick Gomez (CCFF7) and Caleb Pierce (FF7 Remake).
Zack's SOLDIER 1st Class appearance remains consistent, though in the original game the 1st Class uniform was purple while later releases made it closer to black. Zack appears as a 2nd Class in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII where the 2nd Class uniform appears purple in color, though his hairstyle is different. Zack earlier appeared in a 2nd Class uniform in Ehrgeiz where the uniform is red and he has his original hairstyle.
