Zahard (Data)

"I am the one who will become the king. I am the one destined to rule the top of the tower. The first and greatest adventurer, with the red third eye on my forehead and a crimson cape wrapped around me. I am Zahard."

- Data Zahard introducing himself to Twenty-Fifth Baam.

Data Zahard is an artificial character, a young version of High-Ranker Zahard, the King of The Tower, back when he was still a Regular. It was created after the real Zahard stored his image in the mirror using the Mirror of the Past.

History
Before reading the history of Data Zahard, you might want to read the beginning History of The Hidden Floor.

The history of Data Zahard begins after the real young Zahard stored his image within the Mirror of the Past and started to form a virtual world with other data. It is unknown what Data Zahard did during this period of time, because it's only after the real Zahard became King of The Tower thousand years later that Zahard found out about the existence of this virtual world and his data self.

According to Data Eduan, after a very long time has passed since how they came to be, someday, Data Zahard brought a mirror which leads to a new mirror world (which later known as The Hidden Hidden Floor). Data Zahard proposed to his 12 companions that they need to move and live in that new mirror world for privacy, because the current mirror world they are in (the Hidden Floor) are getting crowed with the "newcomers", (data of regulars who have cleared the hell train). Data Zahard received this mirror from his real self, the King Zahard. Data Eduan further added that all of them agreed to move in that new mirror world, except himself. Data Eduan refused to move into that new mirror world because he was suspicious of Data Zahard. Data Eduan felt that Data Zahard has changed into someone different after he met the real him (King Zahard) on the outside. Later, the suspicion of Data Eduan was confirmed after he investigated and traveled to that new mirror world himself. Data Eduan said that there was no one left that he knew in that world, because all of data that crossed over in that mirror world with Data Zahard were deleted.

It is clear that the real Zahard, King of The Tower had influenced his data self so that he can 'customize and setting' the hidden floor according to his own desire, such as deleting the data his 11 companions (except Khun Eduan who refused), influenced his data self to become evil and ruthless, and also built a fail safe system that will activate and let him interfere inside the hidden floor if the special conditions are met. He create the fail safe system to prevent any kind of act that threatens the whole existence of the hidden floor. A little part of his power and presence will be transferred into the hidden floor in the form of data, so that he can eliminate the threat personally. King Zahard created all this system in the hidden floor because he cannot get in personally into the hidden floor because of the rules that Rankers aren't allowed to enter the hidden floor.

Data Zahard first met his real self as the King of the Tower through huge mirror reflection. He was more flustered than happy at that time, because in spite how flawless and perfect his future self seemed as a powerful and great king, he sensed a small, but massive feeling of anxiety within his real self. Data Zahard was so disappointed after he found out that his real self is feared of something despite having gotten so powerful. Data Zahard decided to help his real self to change the Hidden Floor and even hide the special bracelet. But after fighting Twenty-Fifth Baam and felt that Baam could become a new rival and adventure for his real self on the outside, Data Zahard change his decision from killing Baam to help him escape the hidden floor from his real self, the King Zahard. In the end, Baam successfully escape from the hidden floor after Data Eduan eat the reset pill and deleting the whole hidden floor, including Data Zahard.

Appearance and Personality
Data Zahard appearance was not much different compared to his real self, with his yellow hair, tattoo on the eye, and a red cape. The only things that's different are his fashion, face mask, body height and body weight. Data Zahard is very small compared to his real self. He was portrayed as a young man with ridiculous fashion style. Fans has been calling his data's fashion style as childish and making jokes out of it. Many Tower of God fans and readers has been saying that young Zahard seems like a kid who want to be a superhero and cosplayer instead of an adventurer.

Data Zahard is very confident, optimistic, brave, fearless. He is an adrenaline seeker and junker. He has a very competitive spirit, so he used to put his life on the line for bets or competitions. . But on the negative side, he's thinking too highly of himself, high ego, high pride, rude, tend to look down on others, and emotional. He seems to has more respect and willing to listen towards his dear companions, rather than to ordinary, normal people. As seen when he respected Data Eduan and willing to listen to him regarding to matters such asc challenges, bets, advice, and proposals. He also keeps his promise with Data Eduan regarding about Baam's matter and not to kill Eduan's children as long as they didn't cross the line or breaking the rules. He keep his promise as long it is something that could entertain him. But, he only trust his dear companions because he is hard to trust anyone. He also always act according to his personal judgement and opinion.

He like things that interest him or enjoy fighting with someone that has high spirit. He hates something that hurt his pride. However, sometimes he still have mercy for his enemies, that if only he liked the enemy's courage or power potential. As seen when Data Zahard tried to spared Data Maschenny's life for her courage or when he spared Baam after seeing his potential to fight his real self. He enjoys facing opponents who charge at him bravely. At first, he will fight back unenthusiastically, but once an opponent really stimulates him, he get uncontrollably powerful. Data Zahard will only begin to fight seriously when he shows his teeth.
