GENERAL/STORY:

Zato is the leader of an organization of assassins, who gained the ability to manipulate shadows in exchange for his vision. Originally a lowly assassin, he gained new power through a forbidden ritual, which allowed him to rise to his present position. The repeated battles of the last tournament took their toll on him, and the shadow seized control of his body. The shadow was cognizant that it was created as a weapon and that its intentions of murder and destruction were only programmed instincts. It had developed the will of its own; the ability to break away from its cursed fate. This newborn soul could not understand humans, and was filled with loneliness. While in search for others like it, the shadow comes across the rumor of the Gear.

REVIEW:
Zato-one is definitely the first fighting game character to fight with his shadow, turning it into all sorts of shapes and entities. Thus, he's naturally a cool and interesting design, although he doesn't have the "best" outfit design we've seen come out of the Guilty Gear series. In my opinion, he's lacking personality but then again I just really prefer other characters from the GG series.
