Biography
Cohlin's roots began on the Planet Thamos, which was in a major bloody civil war conflict at the time of his birth in Age 1072. He was born to two to impoverished Ned'aii parents who were stricken hard with poverty and malnourishment. He had 11 other siblings. As a teenager, he worked very hard, working many jobs to support his family of 13. In whatever time he had left, he contemplated how he was going to join and fight in the war for his people, the Arstag Federation, who were in war against the Xrded Alliance. 7 of his younger brothers were all gruesomely murdered when he was 13 during an enemy raid on his village (which was a giant tree). His parents bravely fought back but proved no match, and were executed in front of everyone, including Zaid. This struck him very hard and made him cold and bitter. He held life dear to him, but now that was questioned. His other brothers ran off and joined the army, only to die in action bravely. At age 16, Zaid personally developed a strategic escape plan to escape the prison base he and several other Ned'aii were held in. It proved successful, Zaid showed signs he was a true war craftsman. He and his men stole the weaponry from the enemy's base, and he quickly learned how to use and engineer it, and used it to 'escape'.

After his escape, Zaid became a freedom fighter and joined a group of lone platoon soldiers to take down the Xrded Alliance, which was now in power under a dictator for 24 years. He worked under several platoons and participated in high-profile stealth missions. By age 19, he had received several medals. He helped develop extremely complex warfare plans and also helped with weaponry engineering. He said he became a "lone kitten". In Age 1093, at age 21, the Xrded Alliance collapsed and his people were liberated. After helping with aiding them and restoring them back to normal, he fled off to join other universal empires in need of freedom fighters. He became a self-employed mercenary at age 22 and joined the Gaxheiovalli Union, a group of military elite black-op special forces. He underwent extreme training and pushed himself to his absolute limit. He studied at the Alcoi College of Warfare for 3 years, majoring in the sciences, weaponry design and warship engineering, becoming very intelligent not only with war, but social politics and chemistry. At Alcoi, he learned to use and manipulate energy and Ki.

When Gaxheiovalli was annexed during a coup de'tat by the Great Empire in Age 1097, Cohlin joined the TGE Special Forces and officially became a citizen of every planet in the empire using a World Passport. He was employed and commissioned on several life-or-death missions and proved highly successful, with every few deaths under his leadership. He worked his way up the ranks over time. In Age 1100, at age 28, came the outbreak of the Herulean War. Zaid led several special operation units and provided strategic hit-and-run strike warship naval plans which proved greatly helpful. After the war ended in 1101, Emperor Kuzon Jr. honorably promoted him to Chief Sergeant of Regiment III, only a few ranks below Commander. He continued to defend his freedom fighter ideals. He left the Empire for a short time between 1101 and 1112 to go off and join other empiric special force armies acting as a diplomatic ambassador of warfare. He returned in Age 1112 upon KJ's request that he be on Earth in fear of an upcoming superwar. This came true, when the Great Universal Revolution broke out in the following year. Cohlin's skills were truly put to the test. He states that he regrets having become cold and bitter after seeing his family, friends, and people die in front of him. However, with every war comes tears.
