Dr. Evan Mozzibar Zaius is the creator of the A-9 cybernetics platform. He is far-and-above the most advanced pioneer in the field of “evomechagenetical” engineering, which combines synthetic nanoscience, genetics, and robots, among other high sciences. He got his start in the highly-secretive labs of YrIDOC, on one of the moons of Kelfis Pyree, working on evolutionary nanorobotics. He survived the Epic Disaster that swept through the labs, melting the minds of 99% of the complex (there were 4 survivors). If you ask him, he’s unsure how he survived, or even what exactly happened, but certain media outlets and conspiracy theorists have claimed that he was partially, if not directly responsible. His own theory, and the going explanation, is that a nanoparticle synthetic disease evolved and escaped containment. By that time, Dr. Zaius had already experimented extensively on his own genetics, which could explain why he was impervious to the alleged plague.

That said, there’s still a lot of secrecy surrounding Dr. Zaius. No one remembers how he came to be working with YrIDOC, and it is suspected that Dr. Zaius is not his real name (can't imagine why people would think that ...). Additionally, he is intimately familiar with several supremely-advanced technologies and sciences, some of which are beyond the theoretical limit of current human advancement, and others of which are only barely being understood. This would certainly imply a very storied past.

Soon after the Epic Disaster, Dr. Zaius emigrated to Planet Ee’ezzo, a choice which further mystified those familiar with him – Ee’ezzo was (and is) a backwater planet with only moderate technologies. And furthermore, Ee’ezzo continues to be very skeptical of the human species: only two nations (Bazi and Siboso) offer any kind of immigration program. But despite this seemingly sterile environment, Dr. Zaius was able to develop the A-9 platform – a symphony of robotics, cybernetics, and genetics.
