Biography
Zero (Japanese: ゼロ) was created by Dr. Albert Wily sometime in 20XX.
In the following century of 21XX, prior to the first Mega Man X, Zero's location was discovered by by a group of Reploids. Presumably, his storage was within close proximity of the place where X was stored too. Once awakened by this group, Zero destroyed them, as well as any further intruders who would enter the lair. Labelled a Maverick by the definition of being a threat to humans, Zero was later cornered by Maverick Hunters inside, and Zero destroyed Garma's unit. Not wanting more comrades endangered by the mysterious Maverick, then-17th Elite Unit commander Sigma challenged Zero in a one-on-one battle. Even though Zero eventually gained the upper hand during the battle, Sigma was able to defeat the red Maverick after the gem on Zero's head began to glow with a 'W' symbol, apparently causing Zero great pain. Sigma punched the crystal, shattering it and defeating Zero. However, Zero's virus had entered Sigma's system; now both Sigma and Zero were infected with the Maverick Virus.[16] Zero was brought to Dr. Cain at Sigma's request, who analyzed him. Upon awakening again, Zero became docile and had no memories of his previous actions. No longer showing signs of Maverick behavior, Zero's strength was put to good use and he was enlisted into the Maverick Hunters' 17th Elite Unit, but unknowingly Zero still carried the virus.
After Sigma declared his Reploid rebellion on June 4, 21XX, Zero was made the de facto leader of the Maverick Hunters due to being the highest-ranked Hunter who hadn't joined Sigma at the time. Additionally, Zero was approached by X, who sought to help fight the Maverick uprising despite not being a Maverick Hunter. Zero allowed X to join him on the battlefield. While fighting Mavericks on the Highway, Zero found X at the mercy of Vile and came to his rescue, blasting the arm off Vile's Ride Armor. Zero threatened to finish Vile, forcing him to flee onto the Death Rogumer. X lamented that he was not powerful enough to defeat the Mavericks, but Zero assured him that he had the potential to grow through battles, and over time, he would become more powerful than himself. He then suggested X to continue suppressing Sigma's rebellion, while he performed reconnaissance to locate Sigma's new fortress.
Once X had defeated the eight former Maverick Hunters, Zero announced that he had discovered Sigma's Hideout and that he was ready to storm it whenever X was. The two then rendezvoused at the floating fortress' launch site, with Zero taking the brunt of the fire while X found a safer way into the base behind him. Once in the fortress, the pair encountered Vile; worried about X, Zero decided to take him on alone. However, he was overpowered by Vile's new Ride Armor and placed in a cage. When X entered the room, Zero encouraged X to fight Vile, but the rookie Hunter was defeated. Desperate, Zero mustered the last of his power and broke out of his cage, overloading his Z-Buster on the back of the Ride Armor to destroy it - however, he gravely wounded himself in the process.
