He was recruited into the army by sergeant Ramirez under the false pretence that it would get him friends. Nevertheless, Zone thrives on military discipline and greatly enjoys menial tasks such as disassembling and reassembling a weapon or latrine duty. He has a list with everything he needs to do and follows it very strictly, even in face of danger. He also carries toy soldier everywhere, getting violent when it is taken and putting himself in danger to retrieve it. Felony exploits both these tendencies to keep Zone out of danger. He is very resistant to pain, continuing to get up after being shot multiple times to finish the tasks on his list.
