Fall into a new love story! Check out our book list with the latest romance reads.

Today's Zato's Birthday (January 28th), so today I threw together some Art History on him.

(Full-Size view here!)

For an Assassin, he evokes something between a Flamenco Dancer and something out of H.R.Giger's designs!

It's also nice to note that as the series went on, Eddie finally got some consistency in his own design.

Happy Birthday, Zato (and Eddie), for a Dead Guy, you're pretty resilient!

I'm on a journey seeking personal enlightenment, and you are disturbing my aura of love. ― Christine Feehan, Dark Sentinel

Zato’s “Dark Sentinel” form is an appearance that occurs when both he and Eddie merge and attack at the same time (not unlike his sword-form “Executer”).

Eddie is described initially as a Shadow Parasite… also sometimes called Shadow Organism.  He is called a Parasite, but that does not entirely mean he feeds off of Zato, even if there is evidence to the contrary.

What it means essentially is that Eddie needs Zato’s body in order to live, though this may or may not be an extra toll on Zato’s lifespan, especially now, compared to in the past, when Eddie’s lifespan was limited by his programming.

Eddie’s appearance as the Dark Sentinel is more akin to a “combat form”… a weapon mode, basically.

Forbidden Beasts (Kinjuu) were derived from Gear Biotechnology… so it stands to reason that Eddie is classified as a living weapon and can achieve a “weapon mode” much the same as Gears do.

Despite this, Eddie admits to Zato (upon his birth) that he has “no true form” in an absolute sense, which essentially means that the forms he takes are the forms he is most comfortable with or chooses to be, somewhat like a relaxed muscle that was developed over time.
