"I can be stronger!"
Zeris comes from one of the noble houses within the Gotei 14. This just so happens to be the same house that Ari grew up in. This house forces its residents to go through lots of harsh training in order to be the strongest. Overall they favor those who are strong in which Zeris, who is unable to do kido or any other skills other than basic sword fighting and overall not being a very strong fighter, was harassed and abused constantly. "Honestly you are absolutely useless! Get it right or you are finished." they would shout at him. "I understand, I will work harder!" was the only reply he could give, but even if he did try harder it was a pretty pathetic attempt. This would only land himself in another situation worthy of scolding. During these brutal times only one person was ever on his side, this was Ari. They would see each other during training sessions and got along very well due to them both being in similar positions. When Ari had no choice but to go through bankai training and suffered from a coma due to it, Zeris decided to try even harder as to work in Ari’s stead. Eventually he was able to secure his shikai, but did not have very good control over it. With the brutal training and torture everyday was a nightmare. His fragile mind could not take this constant harassment and torture so he started to slowly lose himself. In the process a darker side within him became strongly apparent. The darkness of his zanpakuto correlated well with his growing insanity, and it only became more powerful when wielded by Zeris's more bloodthirsty side. The sight of blood was to be the cause of his switch in that it would put him in a protective trance as a defense in order to prevent any more harm coming to himself. He was able to use this form to perfect his shikai, but in the process would go on a sort of unstoppable rampage. After this continued for awhile the household could no longer keep Zeris under control in any way and disowned him as to prevent having someone related to their family that could not be controlled. When Ari was finally disowned by the family Zeris decided to join as to not be alone and maybe try to have some one else around to help keep a hold on his other darker side while at the same time making sure Ari wasn’t all alone. With the common respect they shared and the fact that Ari loved children, he wasn’t bothered by the idea. Zeris soon gained the nickname of Prince in various languages, to which he was very pleased.

"What should we do now?"
Now that they were both on their own they decided to roam around Crimson City. Ari was doing what he was best at, and Zeris tagged along curious as to how he would never fail. "Exploiting people isn't difficult, you just have to choose a target and choose your tactic accordingly, Oujisama (prince)," Ari tried to explain to him. "he's going to be my target. Watch and learn, Prinz." Zeris watched carefully as he approached a blue haired man. The result being punched and ending up on the ground. Zeris couldn’t help but laugh. He walked up to the the two curious as to how this situation came about and noticed Ari being strangely persistent in trying to discover the man’s identity. Ari became fascinated by the man, who revealed that his name was Rook, and chose to accompany him. To avoid being left behind Zeris pulled on Rook’s shirt and asked, “Can I come too?” Rook finally noticing Zeris’s existence looked down slightly annoyed. “Another one? Fine, if I refuse this will only get more annoying.”
