Zeke von Genbu Husbando

His Highness the Crown Prince Ozychlyrus Brounev Tantal, better known as Zeke von Genbu, is a Driver and one of the main playable characters in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. He is accompanied by his Blade, Pandoria. They have a pet turtle who they call Turters. Zeke joins the party during Chapter 5, right before embarking to Temperantia. Zeke is a tall and muscular man with short and spiky dark gray hair. He has part of Pandoria's Core Crystal embedded in his chest, marking his condition as a Blade Eater. Zeke's most notable trait is his black eye patch that covers his left eye, which he claims is his Shining Eye of Justice but Pandoria suggests is due to him only being able to afford one contact lens. He is usually dressed with a long black coat that he tends to leave open, exposing his chest, with armor over his knees and shoulders. He also also wears black gloves that cover his forearms, and black/mint green boots. Despite having grey eyes unlike other Tantalese, who have red eyes, Zeke uses contact lenses, so his actual eye color may be different. Zeke is prone to flamboyant speech and mannerisms, styling himself as "Zeke von Genbu, Bringer of Chaos" and "The Zekenator", and uses similarly grandiose names for his sword and arts. He is known throughout Alrest as "Thunderbolt Zeke"; the Crown Prince and most powerful Driver of the Kingdom of Tantal. Nia sometimes calls him "Shellhead". However, his over-the-top demeanor masks a deeply cynical person. Zeke's travels as a young man showed him the worst the world had to offer, and he lost belief that he could be a hero or save the downtrodden. However, upon encountering the young and idealistic driver of the Aegis, Rex, he regains some hope for the future and takes it upon himself to help Rex achieve his goals. Despite his joking, he is one of the most emotionally mature party members as well as a wise companion to Rex.
