Biography[]
Zion was born in Mercy Cross to Obeah priestess Asahnti Clarke, and he grew into a successful track star. Xion was adopted by Damian, a drug lord, when Zion was eleven after Asahnti died, as Damian and she were good friends, Damian providing for Zion's life and athletic ambitions. When an injury robbed Zion of his career, Damian exploited the opportunity to turn Zion into his personal enforcer. Zion was ordered by Damian to kill to benefit Damian's cartel. Zion's fashion of murder was so brutal he became nicknamed "The Sticker", as he stabbed people so violently he eviscerated them. Zion didn't stop even in spite of a prison sentence for his first murder. What did shake Zion, however, was being ordered to kill a pregnant woman, so Zion refused and defied Damian for the first time. Damian was furious, marching Zion into the Blue Mountains, shooting his head, and burying him. Zion was miraculously alive, digging himself out of the grave and fleeing the scene. Zion was permanently traumatized and wanted revenge on Damian, setting out to kill him. However, the bullet Zion was shot with was still lodged in his brain, so he became unstable and suffered hallucinations of voices and "spirits" of the people he murdered.
While Zion was trekking to Damian's hideout, he gutted three more people along the way, all of the Americans. Zion was paranoid they would haunt him too, so based on his mother's faith, he performed rituals from the Duppy religion, so he wouldn't hallucinate the victims if they were laid to rest. It didn't work, and Zion became more terrified, reckless, and vengeful, especially as all his victims began to haunt him. Zion finally reached the hideout and confronted Damian, holding a gun from the last man Zion killed on Damian and spitefully protesting against Damian's crimes and Zion's compliance. Damian simply insulted Zion for not killing the one person he spared. The International Response Team and local police identified Zion as the killer from his record and M.O., storming the hideout once they realized his motives and Damian's involvement. Agent Jack Garrett appealed to Zion, pleading to him his understanding Zion was treated as a pawn and they didn't want to hurt him. When the responders promised to punish Damian, Zion was near giving the gun up, but Damian stole it and held it on Zion as leverage. Damian tried to get away, but the police surrounded him, Garrett promising they'd shoot him on sight. After a tense standoff, Damian dropped the weapon, and Zion and he were arrested. Zion was likely institutionalized once he was found incompetent for trial and not responsible for his later crimes, as well as cooperated with law enforcement to send Damian to prison.
