Zighat appears to be a young mystic sage. He has a tattoo consisting of a pair of parallel brown lines running from above his eyebrows, back across his shaved head and down his back. It is unclear how his knowledge is so vast, but he is generally able to (cryptically) answer most questions and identify the correct usage of many strange and peculiar items. In addition to his knowledge, he is also adept at Krav Maga.
Zighat is one of the few Calydon-born inducted into the Frumentarii. During this time he lived in Sebastopol, and he became fast and close friends with the young Cobb Hargraves. The unconventional Cobb catalyzed radical philosophical changes in Zighat. The changes in Zighat did not stop at Cobb's world view, and his perspctive continued polarizing which ultimately resulted in a falling out with Cobb. He went on to establish and lead the Forest Four of the Fallacy Fairies at Maranatha in Pfenniger Forest.
Trivia: Shigeki and Annie have a chicken named Zighat.
