Legatus of the XIIth Imperial Legion and crown prince of Garlemald, Zenos’s high birth and extraordinary talents rendered his life wanting for purpose. During a mission in Gyr Abania, however, he encountered a foe who would kindle in him a theretofore unfelt ardor: the Warrior of Light. Against this foe, Zenos would bring his all to bear, wielding the katana Ame-no-Habakiri, his powers as a Resonant—and even the might of the primal Shinryu.

— Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume II, p. 172

Additional Information

Lore

“Only man has the wisdom and the clarity to embrace violence for its own sake.”

Emperor Varis’s firstborn and heir to the Garlean throne, Zenos was a prodigy who effortlessly excelled in both academic and martial fields. These selfsame gifts, however, consigned him to a life of solitude. Many noble children were brought to be educated beside the prince that they might make loyal companions, but none could match his brilliance. Zenos found his peers tiresome and his elders incompetent, and soon he came to despise them all. Similarly, the pleasures of lesser men held for him no savor, and he cared no more for an opulent feast than had it been ordinary fare. Amidst the ennui of his existence, there was but one thing that could quicken his pulse—the hunt. A desperate beast holds naught back, and only by meeting its unbridled fury with his own strength could he attain satisfaction. This all-consuming predilection persisted even when he assumed command, and he did not allow something so trivial as duty to obstruct the fulfillment of his craving. The twenty-six-year-old legatus was often seen prowling the battlefield in search of worthy foes, and find the worthiest of foes he eventually did—in the Warrior of Light.

Encyclopædia Eorzea vol 2, page 116

"Man should fight for the joy of it. To live, to eat, to breed—lesser beasts snap and howl at one another for this. Only man has the wisdom and the clarity to embrace violence for its own sake."

Leader of the XIIth Legion and crown prince of the Garlean Empire, Zenos yae Galvus is possessed of but a single passion: to stand on the front lines, blade in hand, and dance with death. He regards friend and foe alike with contempt, and tales of his brutality against both have spread far and wide. While crushing the rebellion of yesteryear in Doma, he took a liking to Far Eastern katana, which have since become his weapons of choice.
Ame-no-Habakiri: Wielded alongside the Storm and the Swell, Ame-no-Habakiri was presented to Zenos by Yotsuyu when he came to Doma. Formerly a treasured possession of the Kojin of the Red, the blade shows impressive craftsmanship and, in his hands, is a weapon of enormous power.

Ame-no-Habakiri - A treasure of the Red Kojin, legend holds that this katana was used by Susano, the Lord of the Revel, to vanquish an evil fiend. By being bathed in the blood of said fiend, the blade came to be steeped in tremendous arcane power.

Endwalker

  • Zenos is faced one last time at the end of Main Scenario QuestEndwalker during a solo quest battle. While it is possible to lose this fight, it is heavily rigged in the player's favor, making it more of an epilogue to the story compared to the final trial, Trial The Final Day.
