Zamza was a magician who frequented both [[Toto Village]] and [[South Window City]]. He forced himself into the [[New State Army]] when [[Nanami]], offended by his insulting remarks, declared that he was not needed. His high opinion of himself then forced him to join the army, in order to show how valuable a man he was.

Due to his egomaniacal nature, much of Zamza's time in the New State Army was spent complaining that he was overlooked, not having his own room<ref>"I'm the most important member of the Dunan Army. Why don't I even have a room!?" - Zamza ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>, talking about himself non-stop to anyone who would listen (including [[Richmond]], for five hours<ref>"What a pain!  I went to go ask this guy some questions, and all he did was talk about himself.  I couldn't even get a word in edgewise!  5 long hours..." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>) and writing what he dubbed "fantastic letters". He also felt that less important members should be asked to leave the castle, as he felt it too hot and crowded<ref>"This castle is too hot. Also there are too many people. Why don't you ask some of the less important people to leave?" - Zamza ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
He studied magic under his master, [[Dale]], in the past but he was eventually ejected due to his insistence on combining magic with the martial arts. Zamza's fighting style incorporated the [[Fire Dragon Rune]], which was a dangerous style due to the rune also damaging its wielder.

Zamza served as a magic unit captain during the [[Dunan Unification War]] as well as a magic instructor. He was appointed to the position by [[Shu]], not because of his ability, although he did not lack it, but because, despite his character flaws, in an army comprised of magicians such as [[Raura]], [[Luc]] and [[Mazus]], he was the most reliable and well-balanced choice.

Following the Dunan Unification War, he continued to serve as magic instructor in the new [[Dunan Republic]], although his personality was described as infuriating as ever<ref>"Stayed in the Dunan army as magic instructor. Still as infuriating as ever." - Zamza's Ending Text ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
