Zacharie

Appearance

Zacharie is initially seen wearing a toad mask, which interestingly parallels a book found in the Bismark library that talks about a Masked Man who slays a Toad King. His neck also appears to be somewhat bloated and deformed, also resembling a toad. He is later seen wearing a cat mask as a replacement for The Judge.

Personality

Zacharie is largely amicable and optimistic, as he laughs when you talk to him and seems to enjoy the company of The Batter and of those around him. He has a tendency to frequently break the fourth wall, even more so than The Judge, often directly referring to The Player upon speaking to them. He also refers to The Player in a sign found in Bismark's shopping mall. He is fully aware that he resides in a video game and may even be bored of this situation, even remarking during his introduction that the characters are "starting to pile up" and that there should be "less dialogue and more action." He also plays occasional games with The Batter, such as a race, even though he knows there was no way The Batter could have won. He uses a small amount of Spanish prior to Valerie's death, referring to The Batter/The Player as 'Amigo' and occasionally greeting them with 'Buenos dias.' He enjoys his role as the game's merchant and takes joy in obtaining The Player's credits. This shown when he continues trading with The Player even in difficult events, and near the end of the game. However, he is still shown to be caring towards the other characters, referring to The Judge by name (Pablo) and when showing sorrow over the death of Sugar.

Plot

Zacharie is an item vendor, claiming himself to be "the traditional items merchant that's necessary in every video game." While the game never specifies what his actual role is, he seems to at least know many important people that reside within the world of OFF. It is insinuated that he owns the Bismark theme park, as there is a statue of him on the roller coaster, and an Elsen guarding an office refers to him as "boss". He wears a cat mask to emulate The Judge, who is put out of commission by the death of his brother Valerie. His talking sound also turns into a voiced "Meow" instead of his usual chuckle.

Sugar (sister)

Zacharie knows Sugar, who requests that The Batter tell him goodbye upon her defeat. He appears saddened by her death, and there is no chuckle when he is talked to. Interestingly enough, he states that "It's probably better that way." It could be said that he was trying to be optimistic about her death, or that he was trying to keep himself calm- as that is all he says about it. This behavior suggests that they were at least friends.

The Judge(cat friend)

Zacharie seems to know The Judge. He seemingly worries about The Judge's well-being and safety. There is also a time where he interacts with The Batter saying that he (Zacharie) is The Judge's friend. Zacharie also refers to The Judge by his name, Pablo, rather than The Judge's usual title. Zacharie may know The Judge since he "houses" Sugar, his might-be sister, at the basement. This may also lead to why he knows everything about The Judge and The Batter/Player's interaction

The batter (friend)

Zacharie and The Batter are often seen interacting since he sells items to The Batter, providing him what he needs, giving him clues and is an excellent friend. While Zacharie normally would speak to the Player, he may also speak to The Batter as The Batter is being controlled. In the park, he can also be seen riding a roller coaster with Zacharie with the exception of Zacharie being a statue.
