Zero

Reminiscent of the Lance Assassins from the first Borderlands game, Zer0 wears a dark-coloured costume and wields a fierce-looking sword.

Zero sometimes speaks in Haiku. His gender, race, age and appearance are all unknown. He has devoted his life to the perfection of his combat abilities as well as searching for challenges. If he kills an unworthy opponent or overcomes an unworthy challenge he seems frustrated and disappointed.

Zero greatly enjoys combat not so much because of killing enemies, but rather the way he kills them. He strikes at critical spots or weak points on the enemy's body. He also likes to kill unaware enemies. Zero is proficient in both melee and long range sniping, although players can use whatever weapons they like without restriction.
