Zenith was born into a rich family, the kind of family that had inherited their funds and set to living off the unearned pay for the rest of their lives. He lived in a large, almost mansion, with his mom and dad and one sister, in a part of Cobalt exclusively for rich folk (that has since been destroyed). Growing up in this part of Cobalt, Zenith had little interaction with the "poor" or those beneath him; and didn't tend to go out of his way to find it. With no sense of responsibility, or respect for others, Zenith went about life with a very much "ignorance is bliss" attitude. What his family thought was unlimited millions, quickly turned into thousands wasted as they continued to spend with no mind for work, or any other source of income. Their family inheritance ended with them when Zenith was just a year and a half old. This meant his family was moved from upper class to lower class. While his sister had few problems connecting with the locals, Zeniths' entitled personality made it hard for him to make friends with the other pups his age in the town; the same pups Finnegan had once called friends. When Zenith had suddenly become part of the "ghetto", Finn was already on his ship journey and didn't realize his "friends" had become monsters, turning harmless play into turf wars.
Zenith was forced into one of the gangs, on threats he would be attacked; and possibly even killed. He joined, fearing for his life, but eventually became fed up with the dirty work and left. He found himself a job, and took to working; promising to pay off his debts if the gang would just give him time. Apparently, this didn't sit right with the gang and Zenith returned home from work one evening to find his home burned to the ground, his parents dead inside. While his sister wasn't killed in the blaze, she did disown Zenith; understanding his bad decisions had led to the untimely death of their parents. With the loss of his entire family weighing on his shoulders, Zenith fell into a deep depression that he feared nothing would ever drag him out of. He had lost his family, his home, and eventually his job. He felt worthless, angry, hurt and above all like a failure.
After some odd months of living off garbage scraps and sleeping cold alleys, crying often, Zenith was found by who he would call his savior: Finnegan. Finn had successfully gotten his ship and fixed it up by this pint, and had returned to try and recruit his old friends as crew members. That's when he happened upon Zenith. He wrapped his body around the shivering heap he found in the alley, until he was warm enough to journey to the ship where Zenith told his story in short bursts. Finn was heartbroken that his old friends could become so evil, so he offered a place on his ship to Zenith. The two became fast friends. Zenith becoming the right hand man and earning the name "Zulu Bravo" which means "all good" on the sea.
Zulu also doubles as muscle, with Fever under his wing. While he doesn't talk much, he does have a way of making his presence, ideas and opinions known.

- Finn: Zenith and Finn have a very unique, closely bonded relationship. The two are good friends, and Zenith looks to Finn as a brother at times. Finn does return those same familial feelings. Zenith wants nothing more than to be who he knows he can be; someone worth knowing and growing with and Finn brings out the best in him.
- Fever Crumb: It took a long time for Zenith to trust Fever to the point he now does. Fever spent a lot more time than others to prove his loyalty to Zenith, and the two became rather close over the course of the few months they've worked together. Fever almost looks at Zenith as an older brother, though he knows Zenith will probably never look at him that way.
Personality
When you first meet Zenith, you probably jump right to the "strong and silent" type. You wouldn't know just how right you are. Over the hardships and loss he's had to endure, Zenith has matured a lot from the money hungry pup he once was. He regrets most of his life decisions, and takes blame even where he doesn't deserve it. He is overly protective of Finn, the only dog since he lost his family that he's formed a bond with. Zenith is the kind of guy that doesn't trust easily, if at all. Mostly he's afraid anyone he gets close to will only end up dead or leaving him when they learn his story. The guilt he fills over his parents death eats at him everyday, but in recent months he's learned that it may be time to accept what is and move on. He will never forget his parents, but he is unwilling to let himself become evil because of his own guilt and lose his remaining morals and, more importantly, the pirate crew he can tentatively call family.
