As a result, after a falsely accused man was sentenced to death, his wife took her own life. "Seventeen years ago, a woman was killed.Desine fata deum flecti sperare precando." (C-Team execution, Latin for "Cease to hope that the decrees of the gods can be changed by prayer.") Mors certa, hora incerta." (Q-Team execution, Latin for "Death is certain, its hour is uncertain.") Plaudite, acta esta fabula." (D-Team execution, Latin for "Applaud, the act/play/story is over.")

Zero usually appears on computer monitors scattered throughout the Underground Shelter to communicate with the players. Zero leaves the decision to Carlos, and tells him that he is a snail.

He asks the players which colored side is facing up, but they will only be able to guess once. He flips a coin with red on one side and blue on the other and hides it under his cloak. He forces them to play a game - a game which will determine the lives of them, him, and the rest of humanity. Zero appears and tells them life is unfair, and says that all it takes is one snail for the world to be destroyed. He claims life is unfair and often speaks in Latin.Īs the Decision Game begins, the players are locked in cells. Not much about Zero's personality is known. The mask is a traditional plague doctor mask, with gold detailing, and shields the identity of Zero. Zero wears black opera gloves rolled to his elbows over the cloak's sleeves, and has claw-like fingers. Zero also sports a butterfly pin on his left shoulder, and a wide brimmed black hat. The collar is ruffled with gold accent lining. The top piece has short, wide sleeves and a torn bottom, falling to Zero's knees. The bottom layer touches the ground and has large balloon sleeves. Zero's all-black cloak seems to be made of crushed velvet on the top layer.
