“ | We will change the world. Only those able to live in symbiosis with the Fallah are worth saving. For that, we'll reproduce the Fallah and make it infect all the humans around the world. Those who can't resist the symbiosis will die immediately. This is what natural selection is about. What do you think, Guyferd? Don't you want to abandon that worthless human world and join us? | „ |

“ | Everyone will be infected with Fallah soon. It's going to take a while before the power of the Fallah cells in my body can wake up. The Legendary Archaeological Artefacts will soon choose who deserves their power according to the Daruga Tablet. There's no time, I need to find the missing parts. | „ |
~ Zodiac plots to use the Daruga Tablet for his next plan. |
“ | You have defeated me, but that doesn't change anything. Someday, humanity will naturally fall into darkness. It doesn't matter if I die here. The Earth will be destroyed too! (laughs) | „ |

Biography[]
Background[]
Zodiac was originally the head of a research team that first discovered Fallah on an expedition in Peru. Zodiac soon became obsessed with the transformative properties of Fallah and used it to kill off the rest of the research team before going on to found Crown to realize his ambition of evolving humanity into a species for him to rule over as god.
The Fall of Mutian Lab[]
After Mister Bicross was defeated by Guyferd in battle and Megumi Shion went to analyze his damaged chest plate, Zodiac spoke to her through it and revealed himself as the true leader of Crown. While Bicross was fighting Guyferd for a second time, Zodiac gave her special instructions to set Crown's Mutian Lab to explode and flee with the research data that had been collected. When Shion was injured in the process, Zodiac had her rebuilt as a cyborg.
Fallah Spreading Plan[]
Zodiac and his right-hand man Metal Master would soon begin using the research Shion had collected to produce the Metalferds, Guyborgs that had been successfully infused with Fallah energy. He also had Shion bring Gou to their lair, where Zodiac attempted to convince him to join Crown. Gou refused, at which point Metal Master had Dragos attack him, but Zodiac decided to let Gou escape, believing he would be swayed to their side if given time to contemplate.
Zodiac later sent Metal Master and Shion to obtain a substance called Astronium, and arranged for Shion's death in the operation so her brain could be used to power a computer system developed by Crown for the purpose of spreading Fallah all across the Earth. Zodiac intended to use the computer to forcibly mutate humankind with Fallah, transforming them into ideal subjects for him to rule over. However, the operation was thwarted when Shion had a change of heart and dropped the shields around the system to allow Guyferd to destroy it.
Operation Gaia[]
However, this did little to halt Zodiac's ambitions as he already had a much grander plan in motion, Operation Gaia. The first step of this plan came to be realized when Zodiac obtained the Tablet of Daruga and used it to upgrade the Metalferds into Gaia Soldiers. Zodiac and his researcher Kuzan would then begin to complete the Gaia Net so Zodiac could use it to completely wipe out humanity via a laser storm and repopulate the planet with his superior beings. Zodiac sent out the Gaia Soldiers to obtain the three artifacts needed to form the Gaia Net. Zodiac was successful in obtaining the first two artifacts, the Divine Mirror and the Seven Star Sword, but his plan became complicated when the third artifact, the Dragon Crystal, fused with Gou Kazama. However, after Gou used up part of his ki to heal Rei, Zodiac was able to personally capture Gou while using his final Gaia Soldier Valcanon to hold off Deathferd.
Zodiac then brought Gou back to his lair in Mount Fuji, where he and Kuzan hooked Gou up to a device to use the Dragon Crystal to complete the Gaia Net, creating a dark storm cloud that expanded as the Gaia Net continued to power up. However, Dr. Shiroishi was able to pinpoint Crown's headquarters as being in Mt. Fuji and went there with Rei, Yuu, Masato and Detective Nakano to rescue Gou. Zodiac then went outside himself to confront them, leading Masato to stay behind and become Deathferd to hold Zodiac off while the others rescued Gou. Zodiac managed to beat down Deathferd until Gou was rescued and became Guyferd to assist his brother. Together, the two brothers were able to defeat Zodiac and strike him down. Before exploding, Zodiac declared that the Gaia Net was still in motion and the world would soon be destroyed.
Quote[]
“ | On this small planet, in a fight for hegemony, are foolish lifeforms that destroy the environment. Those are humans. As long as a shapeless thing like feelings keep moving humans, the absurd act of war will repeat itself once and again. The only ones who can stop that are evolutionary advanced lifeforms, namely us. | „ |
~ Zodiac attempting to persuade Gou to abandon humankind and join him. |
“ | Misa Sudo: A few years ago, we send some researchers to Peru. They all died, and they had some really weird mutation. We decide to investigate where did that strange life form came from. However, when the Genetic Engineering Research Team was investigating, they felt something wasn't right, and we found out about something called Zodiac. Gou Kazama: Did you say Zodiac? Misa Sudo: Right after that, while trying to get some results, all the researchers were attacked. After that, all the research about Zodiac was stopped, and all those who continued we're killed. All the completed research was hidden somewhere. Those who couldn't be silenced, like us, are still trying to find the truth about the Fallah, and also find out what is Zodiac. That's when we found evidence about something called... Crown. |
