Zig is a Darcsen and one of Dahau's staunchest supporters within Calamity Raven. During combat, Zig is a Fencer-type unit.

Profile

Full of the energy of youth, Zig has dedicated all that vitality to Dahau's cause, holding him in the utmost respect and believing him to be a true hero. Dahau, in turn, believes Zig to be exemplary of what he desires of both those under his command and Darcsens everywhere. When he was still just a boy the other members of his family were executed for associating with Dahau's resistance movement, so in a sense Calamity Raven has become his new family. While relatively inexperienced as a commander, Zig's lead-from-the-front style of strategy helps to give his troops high morale. Preferring to meet the enemy head-on and strike them down, the young Darcsen perfectly fits the archetype of a Fencer, and in his duty uses an ornate broadsword bearing traditional markings down its blade.

Invasion of Gallia

During the Invasion of Gallia, Zig's unit conducts mainly urban warfare, capturing southern cities such as Yuell. Against Gallian Army Squad 422, however, Zig finds a formidable opponent in both strategy and force of arms, forcing his withdrawal on multiple occasions. After Gusurg becomes a new member of Calamity Raven, Zig is relatively accepting of the former Nameless, glad to have another strong ally dedicated to Darcsen independence but still holding a healthy suspicion of him. After repeated losses toward the end of the war claim the lives of both Gusurg and Lydia, Zig finds himself alone as Dahau's last sub-commander. Charged with the defense of his hero as Dahau consolidates his forces at the Valkyrian ballistic weapon, Zig makes a last stand at an abandoned Imperial Army base, but is bested once again by the Nameless. As his strength gives out, the young man questions himself as to just what he lacked that led to his defeat before collapsing, dead along with the men that had been under his command.

Trivia

• Zig's special sword is, at least in the mission at Naggiar, an anti-tank maul with the HP Down special ability.
• Zig's special sword is, another hint giving away its maul ability, made by VB, the same company that makes Imperial lances.
• During the Calamity Raven DLC, Zig's likes are both Dahau and Lydia, it seems weird the games designers bothered adding this, since it is impossible for a fencer or tech to do a co-op attack. Then again, they did this in VCII with all the fencers/techs.
• Zig's sword, the VB Sch 35 is actually obtainable as a DLC weapon, although it's stats are far inferior to later swords and mauls.
