History

I'm strong, I've got good moves, I look good. I'm perfect in every way. How could you say you don't need me.

—  Zamza
And don't forget modest.

Zamza was a magician who frequented both Toto Village and South Window City. He forcibly inserted himself into the ranks of the New State Army when Nanami, offended by his domineering remarks, declared his presence unnecessary. Driven by his high opinion of himself, Zamza joined the army to prove his value.

In the past, he studied magic under his master, Dale, but was eventually expelled due to his insistence on combining magic with the martial arts. Zamza's fighting style incorporated the Fire Dragon Rune, a dangerous approach as the rune could also harm its wielder. He primarily wielded brass knuckles as his weapon of choice.

Due to his conceited and high-handed nature, Zamza spent much of his time in the New State Army complaining about being overlooked, lacking his own room, incessantly talking about himself to anyone who would listen (including Richmond, for five hours), and writing what he referred to as "fantastic letters." He often suggested that less important members should be asked to leave the castle, finding it too hot and crowded.

During the Dunan Unification War, Zamza served as a magic unit captain and a magic instructor. His appointment to the position by Shu was not solely due to his ability, although he was skilled, but rather because, among the army's magicians like Raura, Luc, and Mazus, he was deemed the most reliable and well-balanced choice despite his character flaws.

Following the conclusion of the Dunan Unification War, Zamza continued to serve as a magic instructor in the newly established Dunan Republic, though his personality remained as infuriating as ever.

Trivia

  • Equipping Zamza with a Fire Sealing Rune will ensure he takes no damage from his Fire Dragon Rune, although it does mean you cannot equip any other rune as Zamza only ever has two rune slots.
