Leaving Japan at the age of three hundred and nineteen he traveled the world, growing in power and fame until he was known to all as the Demon Hunter. The one that would hunt down the supernaturals who threatened their communities’ safety.

Finally, he was drawn to America, where signs of supernatural activity seemed to be growing stronger in the wake of the Originals movements and the trail the vampire he’d hunted for hundreds of years had left lead. Tracking the small leads and mysterious deaths to a town in Virginia called Mystic Falls he finally slew the vampire that had killed Kuina. Protecting an innocent human in the process, Elena Gilbert.

It was threw Elena that he met the rest of the growing supernatural community in the town. His instincts told him to remain even though his original prey had been slain, for something more was going on in this small town.

Zoro leaves Mystic Falls and travels to New Orleans upon the request of Hayley. The young, soon-to-be mother, realizing that she was far in over her head and her growing fear for her unborn child drove her to reach out to him. Gaining from him a blood oath to protect her daughter above all else, for only he had no loyalties to any factions within the supernatural communities of the city.

When Hope was sent away to school Zoro followed, not only because of the promise he’d made to her mother, but because the school had only just been founded and was home to the supernatural young. His promise all those years ago, to be a guardian to those that could not defend themselves, driving him to join Alaric in creating a safe place for the young to learn how to control their gifts. That and well, Hope was rather like the little sister he’d never had at this point.
